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.

Have been doing a long commute for about 6 months now. 42 miles each way. Mostly "highway", but it includes a toll bridge, a little local, and various amount of stop/go each way. Drive takes anywhere from 55 minutes to a high of 2.5 hours (usually about 1:15 or so home, and 55 minutes in). Assorted local running around on top of the commute (~2,500 miles/month total) In NJ, so winter blend fuel. Even with the cold stretch, I have been getting a consistant 32ish. Last tank was 34, and the current one looks to be running close to that. |

From Jan 4th thru Feb 9: 1,130 miles using 60.61 gal of crappy winter blend New England petrol. Over a month  18.64 MPG. While this looks bad it is what you can expect from either the 4 cyl or 6 cyl when temperature in that time frame avg 19 deg with many early morning starts zero to 6 below and average distance driven was 7 miles per trip. I haven't put on any hwy miles in months. Will report back next week after a 3-400 mile trip which I'm guessing will avg 27-29 even with winter blend fuel. Heavy car, cold weather and short trips will never yield bragging writes to good fuel economy. 08 EX-L V6 16,600 miles on ODO. |
