Hey guys

What is the real world mileage you are actually getting, city and highway, with the V-6? I am considering purchasing a '04 to '06 model, but was orginally looking at the 4 cylinder, until the EPA mileage site claims the V-6 and I-4 are basically the same on fuel economy (minus one or two miles).

Would like some info on this.

Thanks everybody

when I had the 2.7 v-6 I got 24 avg. Then I got a manual 2.3 and went up to 29

 

I have an 03 V6. You will get better mileage with the 4 cylinder, but I think the V6 power is worth the extra gas expense. Opinions will vary on this. I get about 23 around town, and about 30 on the highway. That's better than my old 92 4 cylinder Accord, so I'm not complaining. It has 100 more hp.

 

i have a 95 i-4 non-vtec and i get about 21-22mpg mixed highway/city but mostly city. nothing but highway i have gotten about 29-30mpg

Yup, i get similar in my 02 four banger. 23-24 with city only, but around 30 highway only.

 

On my 96 4cyl. Non-Vtec SOHC before i was boosted, i was getting 39 city w/ a fuel regulator.

 

If you get an I-4 with manual you'll have plenty of power. OK, your drag racing days will be over, but the car will definately get up and move.

That being said, my real world gas mileage on my '99 LX I4 (manual) is in the upper 20s, probably 29 (it's been a while since I narrowed it down to a number).

Back in the '80s I would have said "go with the V6" because V6's lasted longer, but the Honda I4 of course lasts.

what was your method of determining your MPG? 39 city seems too high to believe

 

I usually get about 24 MPG or so in a 94 4cyl. non-vtec. Sometimes it is a bit less because I have intake/header/exhaust, and I usually can't resist to go WOT here and there lol.

The most I've ever gotten in city was 27 MPG (driving grampa style).

2000 accord coupe ex v6 city solid 20mpg (mixed driving, some hard some grandma) highway--going 75-80 with the air on 26-28mpg

 

my car takes about 12 gallons of gas every time i fill up.. i get around 440-450 miles to a tank.. the fuel pres. regulator was set in the high 20's low 30's in psi. im sure it isnt good for the car to have it that low.. but it worked.

 

she was running a little lean dude!
