My odometer currently reads approx 29k miles.   Mix city/hwy = 24mpg The highest I ever achieved was 34mpg on my trips to Las Vegas from San Diego.   I use 91 octane (Chevron or Mobil only).   Enjoy the ride!

I usually get 26/mpg highway, no city data   When I bought my car, the tires were inflated to 40psi, however the manual says 32 F, 30R. Did they make a mistake or should I be adhering to the what the manual says?

Replying to: honda5876 (May 22, 2005 9:33 am) honda5876:   Your tires should be inflated in accordance with the sticker on the door post. I.e. 32 psi front, 30 psi rear (or no more than two pounds over that if you choose). Forty pounds could make for dangerous handling since the tire's contact patch with the road would be rounder, not as flat (think of a round balloon). That results in less road contact and the real possibility of skidding.

I have been amazed by the mpg of this car. I currently have 15k on it and am averaging 34-38mpg.   I only use Chevron 92 (which may be a waste of money) and drive 95% highway between 60-95mph. I test my fuel economy by filling the car until I see fuel in the lip. The tank should hold 17.1 gallons, but I fit almost 3 extra gallons.   My best miles on one tank so far has been 652.   Happy motoring

Only filled up 3 times so far... have about 1000 - 1300 miles on it now.   1st tank - 25 mpg 2nd tank - 26 mpg 3rd tank - 28 mpg   Driving conditions were about 70% highway with some stop & go due to traffic. I have been driving it rather sedately because it's just getting broken in. I expect the mileage will increase as the car breaks in. I'll follow up in a few months.   Dave
