| After owning my 2005 EXL 4cyl auto for four years I finally took my second highway trip in it. From St. Louis to Tulsa and back my two tank average was 35.1 going 73 to 78 mph. In town going to work I get between 25 to 30 mpg. | |
Second tank of gas. 50/50 mix of highway-city to work and back. avg. 27 mpg. I consider pretty good. Way to many people constantly breaking for no apparent reason on the road.

Gas peddle on the right, brake peddle on the left. Don't leave themselves enough distance from the car in front of them so they don't have to be constantly breaking. I am happy with the accord as a commuter car and that's what I was looking for. Good pick up when needed. No extra toys that I wouldn't use any way and good mpg. People say they are getting above 30 mpg I'll have to work on that. I don't see how they are acheiving that. As I said both tanks of gas were 27.

Wow nearly a month with nothing. Time for some current numbers. Been testing my range lately and set a personal record with 665.5 miles on one tank. This was over 3 days of mostly highway driving with taking kids to school in the morning and going to work thrown in. Used 16.23 gallons for 41.0 mpg - 41.5 on the scanguage. The needle was completely below the red line and I still had a gallon left. I drove about 85 or 90 miles after the light came on. Lifetime mpg is now at 34.46 (up from 33.4 in the spring) 10 tank average is at 37.6 50 tank average (somewhere around a year of driving) is at 35.9 Car now has 73,000 miles in 2.5 years. mpg is still going up overall. I expect to be at 35 mpg lifetime by this time next year. 2007 I4 SE MT Just as an aside. If I was driving a midsize V-6 suv and averaging 17.5 mpg I would have used an additional 2,100 gallons of gas over the same period. At about $2.80 per gallon average over that time that is about $5,900 in savings, or just under $200 per month saved in gasoline alone. It is just beyond me why some people choose the vehicles they drive. We should be happy with our Accords. |
