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.

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.

1st week mileage by hondaowner10

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.

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.

With just over 1K on it I've been averaging 23City/29Hwy. Pretty happy with that given the size of the vehicle.

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.

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.

I have a 08 LX 5 speed with just over 10k on it and it's been averaging 26mpg even when it's been at or below zero. That's with probably 90% highway driving, sticking to the 70mph limit. It's actually been warmer this whole week and we got 28mpg. Pretty darn good for winter blend regular. At least we have a choice between regular and ethanol. Before the winter blend we were getting 30-31mpg with a best of 32. I am curious as to how the mileage will be when the warm weather blend returns as it's getting broken in.

I have an 09 LX-P. My commute is 26 to 29 miles one way depending on which roads I use. If I go one way (shorter distance but about 50% rural and 50% highway) it is 26 miles but takes about 40 minutes. If I go the other way to work, it is about 95% highway but about 29 miles. That way takes about 30 to 35 minutes depending on how much traffic I hit. I'll probably get better mileage when the weather gets warmer. My previous Accord (05 coupe) would get 33 to 35 mpg highway in warmer weather. In winter, it would drop to around 28 to 29 mpg. I liked that car a lot but hit a patch of ice in early January and totaled it. Only had 34k miles on it too.
