Curious - what is the "usual" miles per gallon on a 96 accord - 4 door, manual. I don't think i'm getting what I should and I wanna get some numbers shot around before I look into the possible cause. Thanks all! plus also it's a 4 cyl!

 

on my 95 lx auto im getting 33 highway and about 27 city....this should help you out.

 

Don't know about the '96s, I always drove with a lead foot with my 5th gen.
My 3rd gen gets 35 mpg highway, has 250,000 and still runs like a champ.

 

I get 24mpg average city/hiway with 95 Accord EX auto. I'm weighted down with kids and kids stuff in the trunk.

 

i have a 96 with auto i get 29 in city and around 33 hwy a manual should be a little better on gas than a auto

To clarify, the kids are in the back seats, the kids stuff be in the trunk

 

95lx with 170K at 5500 feet elevation i get 24-25/city and about 29/hwy

 

when i have good cap/wires/plugs and clean fuel system i get around 30 highway, 25 city..damn, i need to make a run to napa....

 

I get about 30 mpg in my 94, at least before my odometer and fuel gauge stopped working.

Yea with my 4th gen I get about 25-26 city and 30-32 highway, 184K on her .

 

2001 2.3l 4 cylinder manual Accord EX... 31mpg highway and 28-29 city ... less that by 2 mpg with AC on 87 octane gas ... 91 octane gives me about 33 mpg highway.

This is after changing to NGK iridium spark plugs, nology hotwires, and replacing the resonator box with a K&N cone filter ... I used to get 26mpg when I bought her 4 months ago. Maybe if I change the cap I might get a lil more mpg out of her.

 

96 ex 5spd...get about 28-29 around town...has improved by 2-3 mpg average since i stopped using Arco gas
