#2551 of 2672 Re: 2008 EX-L V6 513 Miles Weekend Trip [stephen987] by jhinsc Apr 27, 2009 (6:00 am)
Replying to: stephen987 (Apr 27, 2009 4:38 am) My 06 EXL V6 returned good mpg's too, but I didn't consider it spectacular for it's size. The fact my 08 V6 with VCM can do slightly better is a testament to it's engineering because it's grown in size and weight. Drive the current and previous generations back-to-back, and you'll note how big and cushy the current gen has grown. It's larger, more comfortable, and yet still drives like a Honda Accord. The interior size and comfort is comparable to an 00 Acura RL I once had, although with a tighter, more controlled ride. I love it!

Replying to: stephen987 (Apr 27, 2009 4:38 am) 28-29 is about max for the 02 V6,I've got one. The 03-7's have a much reworked engine and a 5th gear. I'm turning 2000 rpms 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.

I'm turning 2000 rpms at 60mph.   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!

I was told inventory at dealerships were high and some incredible deals were going to happen in the next couple of months? Does anyone has the scoop? Replies to this message: icyou812 (May 11, 2009 6:56 am)

#2556 of 2672 LX-P 4cyl mileage by hondaowner10 May 11, 2009 (6:43 pm)
My last three fill-ups averaged over 31mpg. That's driving about 50/50 highway and rural with a little around town errands (maybe 20 miles per week). Avg speed on the highway is 70-75 and the rural driving is an average of 40 mph.

Weather is getting warmer and mpg is going up. My 10 tank rolling average is now around 37 mpg (up from a low of just over 30 mpg this winter). My last tank was 467.2 miles on 10.89 gallons (would have waited longer but found a really cheap gas station). This is 42.9 mpg - scangauge II indicated 42.5 mpg.   2007 I4 MT , 40 psi, 0w-20 Mobil One, 60,000 miles on odo.   BTW I just noticed that the new 2010 Camry has a 6 speed MT available and now gets 2 mpg better highway mpg than the Accord (they used to be rated the same). Very impressive. How about a 6 speed Honda so those of us with an I4 can get some real low revs on the highway and get really impressive mpg. Replies to this message: tankbeans (May 12, 2009 6:30 am)

Especially since not even 2 years ago I thought they should make 5 speeds standard because I was used to 4 speed autos. Then 5 speeds became standard. It's only a matter of time. My next Accord will probably be late gen IX or gen X. Hopefully by then I'll have a better grip on a manual so I can get a 6 speed, unless they put them in automatics.
#2559 of 2672 Poor MPG by cliffclaven May 12, 2009 (8:22 am)
Hello, We have 08 v6 EXL w/ nav (purchased April 08) and are only getting 20-21 based on the computer in the dash. We live in Boise, Id and drive city/highway but typically only 10 miles in one direction on the HWY. We use 87 octaine gas. Has anyone else had this poor of MPG? Should I take it to the dealer and have them look into adjusting anything? The car has 9,475 miles on it... will the mileage get better over time? Thanks for any insights.

Replying to: cliffclaven (May 12, 2009 8:22 am) Only a pure hwy trip of substantial miles will determine if your fuel economy is sub par. Based on the miles mentioned in your post your only 1-2 mpg's off from the 22 mpg's mixed driving should return based on EPA estimates, which in my experience are very accurate.
