#2474 of 2672 Re: Lousy mileage on '08 EX 4-AT [tankbeans] by thegraduate Jan 21, 2009 (8:21 pm)
Replying to: tankbeans (Jan 21, 2009 8:12 pm) The transmission has something to prevent hunting, especially on hills, called Grade Logic Control. At any point if the transmission senses it'll be in that hunting situation, or if you need engine braking, the car will not go beyond 3rd gear, sometimes downshifting all the way from 5th to do so.   Leave it in D, you won't be disappointed.

Replying to: thegraduate (Jan 21, 2009 8:21 pm) I always do. Someday I want a 5 speed, 3 pedals and a stick, but right now I only have 2 pedals so I don't futz around.   Although I would encourage you to grab the manual and peek through it. I'm sure something is hidden in there. I know about grade logic and all that, but I also have this tendency to just read my manual when I'm bored. I need a life.   I've read my mom's, my dad's, my brothers' and I think my friends. Pretty boring considering they all say almost the same thing.   I know the bit about hunting for gears is in there.   Well it's late, so I think I'm going to pass out until tomorrow.
#2476 of 2672 Kind of quiet in here. by tankbeans Feb 06, 2009 (10:06 pm)
Hey all it's gotten quiet in here. I thought I'd post some more numbers. I just filled up from just above E, I ran a can of Sea-Foam through it to clean things up a little. I got just over 22 mpg. Which sucks, but it's still winter so it's to be expected. My rolling average since March is just above 25 or 26. Been trying to keep my speed in check, but it gets away from me sometimes.

Replying to: ezshift5 (Feb 07, 2009 8:25 am) I wish I could get numbers that high in the winter.   I just put new tires on my car and I'll have to see if it will affect my mileage or not. Hopefully not, but who knows. If it makes a difference to anyone I just put on Bridgestone Potenzas and found out that my alignment was off.   Spec is -0.08 to 0.08 mine, on the passenger front, was 0.25. Don't know quite what the numbers mean, but I know that it had been pulling a lot at speeds above 60.
#2479 of 2672 1st week mileage by hondaowner10 Feb 07, 2009 (5:42 pm)
Have had my 09 Accord for about 10 days now. The mileage for my 1st fill up was just under 26mpg. I am driving about 75% highway and 25% rural/city. This also includes letting the car warm up for at least 5 minutes before driving and having to drive through snow and slush a few times. Replies to this message: tankbeans (Feb 07, 2009 6:12 pm)
#2480 of 2672 Re: 1st week mileage [hondaowner10] by tankbeans Feb 07, 2009 (6:12 pm)
Replying to: hondaowner10 (Feb 07, 2009 5:42 pm) I'd say you're doing well, depending on where you are and how big the engine is. Considering the 09 Accords are significantly larger than the primary generation being discussed in this thread. My 03 is struggling to get above 23, but I run the defrost a lot and have relatively short commuting distances, about 8 miles give or take.   It'll probably get better as the temps increase and they move away from winter-blend gas.
#2481 of 2672 '09 LX-P by hutch7 Feb 07, 2009 (7:14 pm)
With just over 1K on it I've been averaging 23City/29Hwy. Pretty happy with that given the size of the vehicle. Replies to this message: tankbeans (Feb 07, 2009 7:31 pm) packer3 (Feb 08, 2009 9:54 am) icyou812 (Feb 08, 2009 6:25 pm) packer3 (Feb 09, 2009 5:05 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: hutch7 (Feb 07, 2009 7:14 pm) You're just about spot on with regards to EPA estimates. I hope you continue to be happy with your car for years to come. My next Accord is more than likely going to be a tenth generation. By then it'll probably be huge. I only say that because I want to pack on the miles before I get a new car.

Replying to: hutch7 (Feb 07, 2009 7:14 pm) I have the 08LXP, unless Honda fixed or upgraded something I cant believe your getting 23mpg staight city. My drive to work, 3 towns over in city driving averages 10 to 15 min the average mpg in the winter is around 17 thats it, and I'm not a hard driver.
