Replying to: kipk (Feb 13, 2009 5:20 am) Double whammy when it comes to warming up and short trips. I just start it and go. The only time I warm the car up is to get the cabin warm and that's only when my nephew will be riding with, he's only 5 so he can't warm himself up that well. A lot of this I learned from my dad, who is a penny-pincher in the extreme, he won't even fix his car if he can avoid. I'm not that bad, but I just see wasted gas if I let it warm-up. With my short trips I'm already not getting optimum mileage out of my 03 Accord I4. Anyway sorry for the bloated post. I agree it is counterproductive to let the car warm up if it doesn't have a carb, most don't anyway. |

Drove my '08 V6 automatic coupe from Central Mass. to Philadelphia and back this weekend (600+ miles). Average 28 mpg. Some cruise control. 75-85 mph on the highway. Typical mpg to date (14K miles) is 22. Some of that is time spent warming up car during sub-freezing weather. Pretty happy with mileage. Trip to Myrtle Beach in March will give me a longer trip to track mpg.

Hello all, just wanted to report back after getting my tires and my transmission fluid exchanged and my oil change. Overall mpg for the last tank was 23.XX. I think the oil was getting worn out and the transmission fluid was due for a change. My car seems to shift a little bit smoother and at lower rpm than before, which could contribute to the mileage being slightly better. I'll post back when I get gas again, this tank seems to be doing better than average for me for this time of year. I'm sitting at just over 3/4 tank and have gone 65 miles. I could be hallucinating the shifts at lower rpm, but I think that the new fluid is helping some. |

My 09 Accord has averaged 26mpg since I picked it up at the end of January. I drive a mix of highway and rural (steady 40-45mph). This past week it edged up over 27mpg.

| Bought my 2008 I4 EX-L at the end of February last year. Because of mistakes by the dealer I got several free full tanks of gas and didn't start paying for gas until April. Since April 17th I've gone 10,240.8 miles and burned 376.777 gallons of gas, giving me an average of 27.18mpg. I'm averaging about 430 miles before refilling. My best mileages - five tankfulls near 28.5mpg - were between September and November (no air conditioning and before the winter gas changeover). | |
