Default Gas mileage???

I was wondering how many miles you Accord owners are getting per full tank with mixed highway/city driving?

Sorry I should have been more specific . I was asking more about Accords like mine. 98-02. I only get about 310-320 per full tank. It doesn't seem like it is alot considering that Accords have pretty big gas tanks. I believe it is like 16 or 17 gallon tanks right?

450???? Wow I wish I could get nearly that much. What type of gas do you use? I always pump midgrade from Shell or Chevron. None of the cheap gas. I wonder what could be causing my car to get so little mileage out of it. I recently changed the cap/rotor, spark plug wires/plugs and even used the fuel injection cleaner stuff you put inside your tank.

You should get close to 400, but that's if you run it dry. What's you mpg?

okay, this is like the 123098732th thread about gas mileage...

there are so many different factors affecting gas mileage: flat roads or hilly roads? my "taking it easy" may not equal your "taking it easy". Mixture of city/highway is another factor...

I typically average 22 miles per gallon, which equates to about 330 miles before I refill. Sometimes, depending on where I have to go around town, I'll get 29. All highway I've managed 33.

For 6th gen 4-bangers, expect anywhere between 20 and 30 mpg, b/c that's the answers you're going to get.

Size of the gas tank doesn't matter... What matters is how much gas you have to buy at each fill-up.

air filter ? tire pressure ? egr ? o2 sensor ? iat sensor ? maf sensor ? pcv ? driving style ? transmission fluid ? oil ?

Shell or Chevron is good.

450 on a tank isn't that tough.

450mi/15 gallons = 30 mpg

My accord loves 55-60mph. 87 octane, 10% ethanol.

Mobil1 synthetic 5W-30 since 37k. Short ram intake.

I only get about 200 miles per gallon.

Then again, I fill up when it's a little under halfway.

Seriously, the number of miles you get per tank is not a good measure of your mileage, just calculate it. I get ~ 26 or 27 in mixed city/highway, and 32 or 33 mpg on the interstate. '99 LX, 5-speed.
