I drive about 6 miles monday -friday to school and back. From the time i tank up to the time i hae half left i usually shift 2.5k rpm and ocassional 3k rpm when im towing my fat *** friend around.

When it gets under the half i tend to step on it from time to time.
last time i got 20.3 mpg
this time i got 21.5 mpg isnt it low?

 

thats normal for city driving , if u look at epa rating they put accord for like 20city 31 highway for automatic and for manual 21 and 32 or something like that i usually get around 21 to 25 city depends on conditions like slow traffic how many passengers etc.. and if u go for like short distances is prolly eats more gas then for longer duration.. car warm up, starting car more etc..

 

thats disappointing then
these cars are too heavy. time to ditch the spare tire

 

filters and tune up lately? plugs? etc? helps....

 

new Mft fluid, sparks, plugs, cap rotor, air filter....

 

ii get around like hmm 25 mi highwau and city, in highway i get around 30 cause i tend to go 80 all time so, pure city probably around 23 cause i drive slow in city, detriot cops are dicks

 

Try being a little easier on the throttle, no "jackrabbit starts" or trying to race anyone.

It will go up a little but honestly that's pretty good mileage for pure city driving.

 

I have a 95 EX station wagon and I get 27-28 MPG. I work as a courier and drive about 180 miles per day here in Atlanta. My Accord has 298,400 miles on it.

When is the last time you changed the plugs, air filter, etc. ? It doesn't sound like you are "hot *******" the car. What kind of gas are you using? I normally use Chevron. I've noticed that when I use an off brand, my fuel mileage will drop.

Good Luck

i changed the air filter, sparks, wires, cap, rotor about 5 k miles ago.
awell as tranny fluid drain and refill. i have done 3 oil changes since i got the car in November. About 2-3k each change.
I have run fuel system cleaners in the tank when i first got and and later used Marvel mystery oil.
I might add that i am using 10w-40 because my engien has a slight knock and this weight cures it.
