I'm just curious of what gas mileage y'all get in your accord? I figured mine up to be about 20 mpg is this normal with a 2.2 liter? This is my first vehicle that's not a v8 lol.

 

Driving like a Super Grandma - 38-41mpg (rare unless i'm trying to beat my record
My normal driving average - 33-36mpg
Tearing up the paventment along with normal driving - 22-25mpg
Full Tearing - 17mpg

my car is completely gutted so that skew's results as far as the regular Accord's though. At least it show's the car's potential if you mess with it.

I used to get 24-27mpg average before I messed with it.

 

My cd5 non VTEC used to get 40 highway with the ac on at 70. Now she's got lots wrong with her (project fixer upper).

If all proper maintenance is done regularly then you should get good mileage

In the last few years I have done some highway traveling in rental cars. All of these had less than 5000 miles on them. The best mileage was in a Camry with a 6-speed auto. It got 32-34. A Dodge Caliber got a little less. Impalas got about 28. My BMW 325i gets about the same with a 5-speed auto. My 94 Accord EX will get 30 with a 4-speed auto. Cars like the Camry and the Caliber use the trans to get the mileage and run at a ridiculously low rpm on the highway, but anytime you go up a hill, it shifts down. Seems like the trans is shifting all the time. So I am happy with the Accord mileage, and that's running at a nice speed on the interstate with a moderate load.

 

In your accord what rpms are your running at 65? I don't drive mine hard at all and like I said I'm figuring about 20 mpg. A little over 300 miles per tank

 

Oh and my car is a 93 accord se just to clarify

 

per this .gov website

19 city 29 highway

 

This is what I get

I've been driving my 02 EX-L 4-cyl almost exclusively in the city for the past year now. I get 24.5-25 mpg running BP gas. I've tried places like Shell, Sunoco and Exxon but BP seems to give me the best mileage

 

Best freeway to date at 65-70mpg w/ out cruise was 36.7 mpg. Recently my commute has increased to 80 miles round trip with lots of hills. Cruise at 65 mph has netted me a best of 34.5 mpg or 500 miles on a tank. I could do better I think but I still have my winter tires on and I could probably use a new 02 (mine has the wideband 02) and I always seem to blow the perfect mileage on driving somebody around town : /.

Im in an 01 EX 4 door SULEV 5 speed.

City... I stopped keeping track because I have a heavy foot.

 

On my 1994 EX with A/T, in winter I get 23-26 mpg, while in summer without AC these numbers go up.

 

Fuelly Account, I'm rather infrequent in my postings there on so I only have 1/.5 fill ups a month versus my weekly fill up.

I have a 2002 Honda Accord EX 4 cylinder with leather interior. Just bought it & on the 2nd full tank. 1st tank - 24MPG with about 65% highway @ 65mph.
Changed the plugs & seem to be doing better on the 2nd tank.

 

I'd say I average about 27-29 MPG, my commute is about 42 miles round trip. I go up and down a curvy mountain so I'm always downshifting, or passing slow people. I'd say about half or so of the miles are hilly/curvy road driving. I fill up at a quarter tank, and I get at least 300 miles on 3 quarters of a tank. I'd say I get decent gas mileage given my commute. Highway driving, I'd say I can get at least 400 miles per tank. I've never really pushed to see how many miles I can get on freeway driving though. 95 5-speed, F22b1 by the way.

 

You must be talkin' about a Civic

 

He sure must be. EDIT: I just read that his car is fully gutted. He must be a MPG addict to gut his car and daily drive it to have so much statistics.


People quote their 'instantaneous' (i.e. 1 tank) mpg and call it their mpg. To get a good mpg, you need to use the average. I use GasBuddy app and use it religiously. It can average my fuel economy for me, and give me a running tab of what I have. My maximum MPG for the past 1 1/2 years is 31.8MPG, and my lowest is 19. My average is 28.2MPG, which is a respectable combination of highway and city driving. My highway MPG fluctuates between 28-30MPG on average for continuous non-stop highway travel. If I see that I am getting below that, I know that something is wrong.

My speedometer is dead on center, GPS accurate with my 17" aftermarket wheels. If I used my stock 15" steelies, my speedo runs high, so I will get a 'inflated' highway MPG of around 30-32MPG on average.

 

I changed the plugs on my car, which should have been done last December when the previous owner had the timing belt replaced IF the Honda dealership was tellin' the truth.

I think they were, 'cause my avg, going to & from work, 45miles round trip, went from a hair under 24mpg to a tad over 25 and that was with it idling 20 minutes Monday morning while I cleaned off the snow & scraped all the ice off after it had warmed up & softened the ice some.

25mpg & 38 of those 45 miles are up to speed on the highway @ 67mph, so it ain't nuttin' but the avertised average, however, it's a 2002 [12 yr old] Honda Accord EX with leather, moon roof & full size spare in da' trunk.

 

I got just a hair under 27 MPG this tank & that was with 3 trips to work having to do 78mph 'cause I was runnin' late.

You don't really save that much time, when there's only 19 miles of hwy to cover once you get up to speed though, so I don't know why I do it.

Have had a front end alignment, plugs & new Hankook snow tires.

I expect to hit 27.5mpg this go around.......

 

Just bought 4 snow Hankook snow tires. The place only had 2 in stock, so I had to wait 4 days to get the other 2.

The idiot who put the 2 on the front, inflated them to 35 psi. I asked the owner if it was 30 psi & he said they inflated them to whatever was on the door.

The guy who installed the back 2 inflated them to 30 psi.

I only know, because I bought this fancy/dancy tire pressure checker today & checked the pressure, even though the tires had only been on there 3 weeks and it was 65 degrees out.

I'm finding a new place to take my car.

 

36 or 30psi is not a big deal. I run slightly higher than stock, so I run about 35-36 psi. You get a slightly rougher ride, but slightly less rolling resistance, meaning slightly improves mpg. If you read the sidewall of the tire, it will tell you that he maximum psi is probably about 44psi. Anything less, and you are fine. The psi you choose is a balance between driving comfort and mpg.
