Replying to: tallman1 (Jul 27, 2009 1:40 pm) Thanks Tallman1. The dealer filled the tank. Will post again after about 4-5 tanks.

Replying to: cpboy99 (Jul 27, 2009 8:50 am) As "thegraduate" told me 18 months ago my 08' EXL I4 would break-in over some 12,000 miles and the mileage would improve. So, 15,000 miles later I have to say that "thegraduate" was right! Mostly city/country here - not many hwy miles, on a recent trip to TN: 28 mpg on one tank, two tanks at 35 mpg and two at 39 mpg. Brand spanking new my first tank was 17 mpg but of course the dealer filled the tank, lol.   Give it time and you'll be busting charts. and as always thanks to "thegraduate".

Replying to: catmike (Jul 28, 2009 7:38 am) That is the best news I've heard all day! Woohoo

Replying to: catmike (Jul 28, 2009 7:38 am) Yeah, as I said, most folks seem to get better mileage as time goes on. Mine has been stellar from the start. I've only had a handful of tanks that were below 30 (only two were below 29) and my lowest ever was 28.0. Highest ever was 41.7. Not bad after 72k miles.   06 EX-L w/Navi I4 manual

Replying to: catmike (Jul 28, 2009 7:38 am) Congrats! That's great for such a big car with 190hp.   And, what can I say, I like being told I'm right once in awhile.   Enjoy the car!   -thegrad
#2590 of 2672 2009 Honda Accord EX-L 190hp by americaneagle Aug 07, 2009 (6:47 am)
Using my Iphone Road Trip app, I am averaging 24 mpg in mostly city driving after my first 5000 miles.
#2591 of 2672 09 EXL V6 by accordguy0325 Aug 07, 2009 (9:05 pm)
Just averaged 20.5 mpg, with mostly short trips/city driving... My car currently has around 1600 miles on the odometer

..from LA to our infamous state capital..........   Fill-up at Gorman (in the Tehachapi range)...   297 miles strait north to Thornton Chevron (just north of Lodi)   7.760 pump reading.   That calc's to over 38 MPG.........   ..and that's a J30A4 thru a 6M (top two gears are overdrives)   No complaints from this sailor.   ez sends.........
#2593 of 2672 08 LX I4 5M by icyou812 Aug 08, 2009 (4:47 pm)
Drove 147 mi. round trip today, used 4.4 gallons = 33.4mpg. Best mileage yet. 60mph, a/c, almost 90 humid degrees across rolling Iowa hills. 8 miles of city driving. Our car has over 18k on it and we run regular gas and Honda 5-20 dino oil Not too bad for such a big car IMHO.

Replying to: icyou812 (Aug 08, 2009 4:47 pm) I wouldn't try calculating mileage with so little fuel used. It makes the variability of error much higher, based on pump error, etc.   For example, if the pump clicked off a little early, say only 2 tenths of a gallon, that would throw your average off by 1.6 MPG (147/4.2=35.0).   If you waited longer, until say, 10 gallons (still barely more than half a tank used, and not preferable for calculating specific mileage), that .2 gallon difference (over 300 miles, shall we say) makes a difference of .6 gallons instead of 1.6 gallons.   Just trying to help. Glad you're enjoying your Accord!
