Default my new MPG record. 471 miles.

Hello. Today, i finally used up all of my full tank of gas. I filled in 15.231 gallons and i went 471 miles with it. It comes out to approximately 31.3 miles per gallon. This was with 60% fwy and 40% moderate traffic driving. This is my record so far. What are your records for the best MPG on your accord? Oh btw, my car is a 02 EX coupe I4 5 speed manual.

I reached 556 miles with a full tank of 15.87 galsUS, about two years ago. This was with the same engine as now, however with the auto tranny. Highway only driving, and in the best conditions you could expect. I would expect maybe 575 miles next summer with the 5-speed, without the A/C.
My all best was with my 89 LX Accord, 596 miles with only 14.15 gallons. I could have lasted to 625 miles on the same gas tank, but I was getting too nervous. Still, it was good for 42mpg.

Dayum!!

If I remember correctly the most miles I've gotten was around 420 (don't remember exactly, it was along time ago), but I don't like to let it get really low. My highest MPG was 34.5 on a trip from Chicago to Sandusky, OH. Got there on exactly 1 tank

This is kinda cheating but when I had my Civic HX the best mpg I got was 52.3. I drove 485.3 miles on a 9.28 gallon tank of gas. It was mainly highway driving though.

By the way that car would also get about 30mpg when I was racing it at the local drag strip.

The Accord gets shitty mileage. I'm usually around 23mpg. The Integra is around 30 though.

My best was 470 miles on a tank of gas, and my light had just come on. This was coming back from Cali from a road trip. So it was pretty much all highway driving. On avg I get about 420 miles per tank.

i love it when people honk and flip me off when i'm in granny mode, and then they stomp the gas and think they can get away. but they dont. and i make sure they know i dont appreciate their unfriendly behavior. .

if u shift at 1500 rpm, wouldnt your car eat more gas because it doesnt have any power to get the car going upto speed?

In my 92 DX manual, I get about 23 - 25. That's all city miles. On the highway I get about 28. That's summer and in the winter. My girlfriends 2001 civic lx auto gets 38 in the summer and 40 in the winter. And that's driving in rush hour north Dallas traffic five days a week.

I average 22.5 mpg out of my 90 accord. I also am on the throttle a lot, I bet if I ***** footed it around I would get better mileage. I once got 410 out of a tank, but that was 90% freeway.
