Replying to: tallman1 (Apr 18, 2008 3:25 pm) That shows a lot of patience on your part in achieving this mileage, especially for a 400-mile trip.  The reason I asked whether you used CC was because I haven't really used it much due to traffic, and, with 80% Hwy, the best MPG I ever got was around ~ 32 mpg. So even with 100% pure Hwy tank(which I haven't done), I suspected I'll get over 35-36 mpg without the help from CC. The fact you did use quite a bit of CC and getting 41mpg confirmed my suspicion. Thanks

I drove Calera, AL (Just S of Birmingham) to Gulf Shores, and drove a good 90 miles in spring break traffic around town after my initial trip. Honestly, I forgot my miles/gallons, but I remember the total MPGs amounted to 33.83mpg. Not bad for all the stop and go that spring break required! I filled up on my way home today. Purchased at Chevron in Loxley, AL at the intersection of US 59 and Interstate 10. Upon filling up back in my hometown west of Birmingham, I had used 6.73 gallons of fuel, and driven 258.1 miles. That equals 38.35 mpg. Again, that's 38.35 MPG. Using my GPS trip computer, I spent 2m38s stopped, hit a max speed of 81.8mph (had to do some passing), and averaged 68.7 mph (some US highway stop and go before getting on Interstate 65. I set the cruise on 72, with the sunroof/windows open for the first 2 hours, had to use the A/C for the last couple of hours because it got hot! 38.35 MPG, Highway 2006 Accord EX I4 5AT, 32,085 miles TheGrad

Traveled 185.9 mi from central Mass to NH White Mountains using 5.781 gal = 32.16 MPG. All but 10 miles were interstate between 60-70 MPH. Behaved pulling out of toll booths and generally accelerated like an old lady to achieve this personal best. Used cruise control 80% of the time with climate control set to auto  68 degrees in 70 degree weather. Return trip behaved most of the time with cruise set at 72, climate control off 50% of the trip but made the engine sing for me pulling out of toll booths and a few other times during the trip (nothing higher than 5,500 RPM). Used 6.363 gal in 183.4 miles for 28.82 MPG. Quite pleased all around, though I did enjoy the return trip more then my arrival one. The V6 can put a grin on your face as well as a scowl on your spouses and gives me all the get up and go I need from a family sedan while returning good fuel economy for a car as large as this.

Replying to: seekingperfect (Apr 02, 2008 5:06 pm) Tank 1 24.5 MPG. 60/40 highway/city Tank 2 25.3 MPG. 50/50 highway/city (spirited driving) Hoping it gets better. |

| 08 EX-L, I4, AT w/ 85 octane at 6000feet -- 80% interstate / 20% city. Another tank, another 27mpg. I have 7500+ miles and I'm consistently getting between 26 and 28 with mostly interstate driving. However, I've been as high as 33 (with a crazy tail wind) and as low as 24 (with a crazy head-wind). | |
On this last tank I did not make any long trips, all commute and daily chores, 65% FWY, 35% Streets, got 26.2 MPG. (The overall MPG for the 5400 miles on the car is at 24.2).
