#21 of 2672 Tank over tank ... by xcel May 26, 2005 (6:35 pm)
Hi Blane:         The tank over tank link and descriptions have the details and the site has many tips and tricks … That last tank concluded after 905.8 miles using 18.309 gallons for a personal best 49.473 mpg in a non-hybrid. I am hoping for a 50 - 51 mpg tank within the next few weeks but Friday afternoon traffic tomorrow here in the Chicago area is absolutely ruthless in pursuit of my goals         This is a 2005 PZEV based - I4 equipped - Honda Accord EX-L w/ Auto and NAVI.         Good Luck         Wayne R.

#22 of 2672 Mileage of 03 4-cyl LX by yoribe2 May 26, 2005 (10:25 pm)
30,000 miles, automatic transmission   60% highway driving 40% town, suburban driving   Combined average 27 - 29 MPG. Falls right between EPA estimate of 24 city and 33 highway. The best so far is 32.5 MPG on a long drive (400 miles) from Bay Area to LA area. I use Chevron 87.

Replying to: honda5876 (May 22, 2005 9:33 am) Your dealer forgot to properly prep the car - which includes deflating the tires to proper pressure. They are over inflated to diminish the possibility of a flat spot while the car sits on the lot.    99 LX 5 sp 38K miles Avg 25MPG normal commuting, 32 cruising on the Autobahn at 90MPH.

Best 32 mpg avg. 70mph Worst 18 mpg in city in winter.   new model have more power and better mpg - now if they can make it a little less fugly, I might trade up

#26 of 2672 Gas Mileage 1993 Accord LX, auto; 275,700 miles by nick0924 Jun 04, 2005 (2:30 pm)
I am original owner of a 1993 Honda Accord LX automatic sedan. It has 275,700 miles, just had my third timing belt and water pump installed.   At 65 to 70 mph I get 31.x miles to gallon. At 75 to 80 mph I get 28.x miles to gallon.   This is on my regular commute, 84 miles round trip, mostly highway (12 city, 65 interstate, 7 miles country road).   Best milage on almost all highway driving in non-rain is 34.x mpg at 65-70 mph.   I change oil every 3,000 miles, plugs and air filter every 30,000, I keep tires inflated to 34 pounds. I have valves adjusted every 30,000. My tires last 70,000 to 78,000 miles. I use Michelins.   My car uses no oil. I use regular gas and 5W30 oil and Honda oil filters.   Though dealer says it is not needed, I put Slick 50 into my car every two years (about 44,000 miles) in the late fall.   This is the best car I ever owned. Only repairs were a recent exhaust system (the first one ever), one set of rotors, 3 sets of disc pads, A/C valve, one set of CVC boots, two batteries, one battery cable, reboring of EGR ports, low beam lamps (3 sets - I drive with low beams on always), one master cylinder and many, many heat control knobs. Of course I have the transmission, coolant and brake fluids drained.   I hope to keep driving the car till it has 340,000 to 370,000 miles.   Dealer service mechanic says this car drives like a 100,000 Honda would.   I think it is the oil changes (which I do myself) and the preventitive maintenance done by the dealer.

Replying to: nick0924 (Jun 04, 2005 2:30 pm) I noticed that you did not mention the replacement of the struts or shocks. Do you still have the original ones?
#28 of 2672 Re: temj12's question by nick0924 Jun 05, 2005 (7:39 am)
Yes, still have the originals; just picked up my car from the Honda dealer on Saturday and I had said earlier that they are the originals; they said there is no sign of leakage or damage so do not replace.   Also they said the rear engine mount had moved out of position and they got it back into place; a rod had come loose. This reduced the vibration when in drive and at a stop.
#29 of 2672 2005 EX-L Auto by alexandriaguy Jun 10, 2005 (8:46 am)
1600 miles on odo. About 21-22 in urban driving (slightly lower with A/C on or excessive use of heated seats). Better than my 2002 EX Auto 4-cyl which got about 19 under the same conditions (was capable of 31-32 on long freeway trips, however).
#30 of 2672 2005 LX V6 (auto) 7k miles by jordylad Jun 13, 2005 (3:12 pm)
Overall average since new (in Jan 2005) 25.7 and improving all of the time.   I measure tank to tank fill ups just for kicks (and to keep track of how I am doing against my 15k annual lease mileage).   I am not a slow driver by any means, but I am no leadfoot (I rarely use brakes!!!). I averaged 29.1 last weekend, roundtrip from LA to Vegas (600 mile) cruising at 85mph most of the time (but did pull 100 a couple of times, as one must, he-he). My roundtrip daily commute is 60 miles 85% highway mostly at 70-85mph (yes in LA........ where I carpool) and I'm consistently now in the low 26 mpg range.   Gotta add this is a great car for the price. I came out of a BMW 740i that I loved but was tired of pouring $ into. I wanted a cheap commuter (I drive a Nissan 350ZR S-Tune (Nismo) for weekend fun) and got this on a 3 year lease with no $ down and $279 for 35 months. I am saving so much money............. I love it.
