| To all those getting terrible mileage- Have Hope! My uncle gets right at 29-30 in his '08 EX I4 auto. Mostly slow rural-ish roads, not really around town or highway. And he does not go out of his way to get good gas mileage. I haven't ever gotten the chance to take a long trip in the car, but I have no doubt that I could get over 35mpg on the highway if he gets almost 30 around town-ish. Of note, this is exactly the same mileage he got out of his 6th gen (2000) Accord EX I4 auto. Both Sedans. The car currently has just over 6k on it. | |

"Even then , why even bother? It'll get whatever it gets! " Thats what my friends with SUV's used to say. Now it is hysterical to watch them line up for 20 minutes to save less than 3% ($.10 per gallon) on their gas costs. Maybe if they were aware of their mileage and checked more often they would have bought more sensible vehicles. MPG is also a good indicator of the cars overall health. If my car did not get what I wanted I would sell it in a heartbeat. |

Replying to: dpmeersman (Apr 10, 2008 9:57 am) Once in a great while, I'll check my mileage but doing so isn't something I really care about that much. If the car isn't running up to snuff, I'll know it without having to check my mileage. I know people (mostly older people) who keep a detailed log in their glove boxes. They keep track of EVERYTHING. That's not me but, hey, if that makes them happy...
