The old days you had to warm up the car because of the Carb. with fuel inj. start and go don't give the car any to think. I'm 55 and I have driven and started all my cars every which way and I have never seen any mileage diff. or have any kind of issues with fuel inj, having a Carb was a whole different story.

Finally Some Hwy Miles by dpmeersman

Central Mass to New Hampshire & Southern Maine, 496.4 miles overall using 18.396 gal = 26.98 MPG's. Low temps in the teens with afternoon temps in the high 30's, 20-40 MPH gusty winds. Used CC most of the time and did not exceed 75 MPH. 17,269 total miles using 771.28 gal for 22.39 avg for life of car. Those new EPA mileage estimates seem to be spot on.

Highway Mileage by jhu1972

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.

Most recent fill up. by tankbeans

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.

MPG for one year by musicislife

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).

And your Accord is a...? Coupe/Sedan? Trim Level? Engine? Transmission? It'd be most helpful to know.

It's an 09 sedan LX-P with auto transmission and 4cyl engine. I talked to the service department tonight at the owner's clinic. I questioned the mileage and they said when the weather gets warmer and the winter gas is no longer being sold it should increase to at least 30mpg based on my driving. I'll keep checking it and let you know if/when it improves. On the plus side, at the owner's clinic I received a package of 3 bottles of cleaning supplies. One bottle of carpet cleaner, one of vinyl/leather cleaner, and the 3rd was glass cleaner.
