Replying to: mkmeade (Aug 11, 2005 11:37 am) Catalysts don't run. The catalytic converter is a passive device in the exhaust stream, in line with the muffler. Your mileage may improve slightly as the miles accumulate. But, the key to real improvements is your driving style. Fast acceleration, hard braking, extra cylinders, excess weight in the trunk and driving up hills costs fuel as much as heavy traffic and high air conditioner useage.

Replying to: ezshift5 (Aug 11, 2005 4:09 pm) Great car choice, I have a 2005 Zainoed Black EX V-6 6M Coupe w/NAV. I put on a Borla Exhaust, Sylvania Super Whites (still toying with getting Xexons), and K&N Air Filter. Mine is just getting broken in at about 8,000 miles. I get about 23 mpg commuting to work 22 miles one way (7miles at 80, 7 miles at 65, and 8 stop n'go). I get about 30 mpg on pure highway driving at 75 mph. I probably could get better mpg, but it is too much fun to drive sporty. Cruis'n in 6th  , MidCow

Replying to: midnightcowboy (Aug 11, 2005 6:50 pm) It's a great car. about 950 on the odo now..... ..appreciate your 30 'pure highway'..........(that's what the EPA shows: 30 Highway. Question: Is the V-6 interference or non-interference. Nearby dealer indicates non; I'm not so sure he's correct...... all the best, ez......

I'm at 52K miles right now, and recent trends are not good this summer. Since June: In town: 19.x Highway: 27-28 Previous summers I had usually managed 20-21/29ish, and this past winter/spring was 21-22/30 until the sharp drop in the first part of June. Tire pressures all around 34 psi cold. If I don't end up trading it on a TSX (love that 6-speed, but can't quite pull the trigger), I might have to see if the air filter merits replacement before the 60k service.

Have 6500 miles on this car, usually returns 20 to 21 mpg in town and 31 to 32 on the highway  65 to 70 mph. I just replaced the oil with Mobil 1 0w20 and filled with Shell V-power, I'll post any changes in mpg.
