Replying to: thegraduate (May 30, 2007 9:49 pm) The TSX is rated 2 MPG (about 7-10%) better than the V6 Accord in both city and highway, but I'd agree that it seems like the TSX's advantage should be greater.

Replying to: kris2 (May 31, 2007 10:43 am) It's going to be tough to get good mileage with a 5 mile commute.   As for break-in, I drove it pretty easy for the first 5-600 miles. One thing I did was use manual mode to put it into 5th and floor it a few times for a few seconds each. I don't recall the details, but apparently the high compression of full throttle helps with seating the rings. A Google search could provide more info.

The next best thing I did in my Accord 4-cyl (automatic) was put the car in 2nd gear, which prevents it from dropping to first (there is no manumatic in Accords). From there, I did full-throttle starts to about 3,000 RPMs a couple of times.

Replying to: drewba (May 31, 2007 12:02 pm) Thanks. I have around 150 miles now and will drive it easy for another 4-500 miles. I will also try the full throttle. Replies to this message: kris2 (Jun 08, 2007 8:03 am)

went from north carolina to west virginia and back. Mostly highway driving (virginia and west virginia mountains) average speed was 75 mph and we averaged 34.5 mpg. the lowest mpg was 31.7 and the highest was 35.8. total mileage on our 06 (bought new 11/17/06) is 16,886. it is a 6 speed which we do not over-rev.

Replying to: kris2 (Jun 03, 2007 6:24 pm) I have my first fill up. 13.84 Gallons and the initial tank from the dealer gave me 349 Miles. The on board computer showed a 24MPG for around 65 town and 35 highway driving.

Replying to: biker4 (Jun 19, 2007 12:26 pm) It's odd that the manual gets worse mileage in the city than the auto. Usually it's the other way around.   Beating these numbers, especially the highway one, should be quite feasible. Replies to this message: biker4 (Jul 03, 2007 6:42 pm)
