| My last 2 fill ups have averaged 29.5 mpg. I drive about 50/50 highway and rural (back roads 40mph). | |
Does anybody know if they are getting rid of winter blend for the season? My last tank only yielded 23ish. I should start letting it get down to 1/4 before I fill, I've only been letting it get down to half, well 9 gallons left.

Replying to: tankbeans (Apr 16, 2009 12:34 pm) 08 Accord 4 door LXP. L4\177hp Took a trip up to Mass from NJ, two people 65/75mph full hwy. (always cruise control) and some good traffic back ups 26mpg, on the way back three people no traffic back ups 27.6mpg. In my books thats horrible don't mean to beat the dead horse but I can't help from thinking about my 04 Malibu 4 door V6\200hp, 37mpg on the same type of run. However that's what's good about leasing in 2 years the Accord is gone.

Replying to: packer3 (Apr 16, 2009 2:42 pm) I'm just wanting "full strength" gasoline back because I'm a fairly spirited driver and the winter gas gets crappy mileage by comparison. All things being equal of course. I can pull down 27 during the summer with a 60/40 city/hwy even when I'm being spirited. In the winter I'm lucky to get 23. 2003 Accord LX Coupe I4 Auto- 60802 miles. This car still gets better mileage than my 95 Accord EX did. Slightly more powerful, but oddly enough it's about 100 lbs lighter. Explain that one.

Hey all- Just filled up again. 24 and change. Gettin better. All time average, since Mar 08 is just above 25. I'd say I'm doing pretty well on target with EPA combined rating. |

400 miles Interstate balance good secondary roads avg 35-55 mph. Never revved over 3,000 RPM, top speed of 75 MPH. Started in Worcester, MA to RT 3 to RT 93. Left interstate to lunch  Lake Winnipesaukee, then over to RT 16 thru North Conway to Gorham, NH. Crossed over to Maine and back sunset Friday evening to look for Moose(did see a couple). Left Gorham Saturday morning to Lydonville,VT via RT 2. Lyndonville,VT to Leicester,MA on Sunday via RT 91 & Mass Pike. 513.4 miles, 16.76 gal = 30.63 MPG. Hot weather during southern legs of this trip so had to use AC. Northern parts ran mostly with no AC. Quite hilly and terrain took me from near sea level to over 2,000 ft elev. Nice to know that 500 mile+ between fill-ups is easily attainable. VCM was ever present and I don't mean by ECO light activity but small albeit noticeable drive train surges. I'd have to say on this trip with this type of fuel economy in a car as large as the 08 Accord is, the slight presence of VCM returned great dividends. |

Replying to: stephen987 (Apr 27, 2009 4:38 am) 60. Replace your oem plugs at 7 years with the ngk oem spec. platinum plugs and you are good for another 7 years. Also,check your motor mounts. I just had 2 replaced at 97k.

Replying to: blufz1 (Apr 27, 2009 7:07 am) That's the same RPM that the 2003-2007 4-cylinder runs at that speed. The 5-speed allows engines to run at about 300 RPM lower than in the 4-speed. Makes a notable difference! |
