I just bought a 96 honda accord V6 Automatic. And i have owned many hondas in the past and I know that i should be getting better gas mileage than 21.6 MPG. Car seems to be running great, i just changed the Ignition coil due to a Tachometer going haywire, and that fixed it but i am still getting crappy mileage. What should i do? Thanks in advance!

 

ha yea my 96 4 cylender motor is so bad im gettin 20 MPG....try oil stabilizer.....injector cleaner.....and maybe some seafoam to start

 

I dont think its my motor. I am thinking maybe electrical. Would somthing like Distributor Cap, Rotor, Plugs, Wires, Fuel filter be somewhere to start. Does that injector cleaner stuff work? And oil stablilzer? Wtf is that

 

ok i have a 96 accord v6 also and mine gets the same mileage i also thought something was wrong, but just learned to deal with it, but also my tach is going crazy and sometimes stops working, so you replaced the ignition coil and that was it? it stopped

 

check to ensure that the lockup torque coverter is working properly.....also, 5th gen V6 accords are a hefty 3300+ lbs

 

the mpg your getting sounds right. v6 are rated at 25 highway.
