Replying to: tallman1 (Mar 02, 2008 1:20 pm) I'll change over to synthetic in my '06 Accord EX-L 4 cyl once it gets to 15,000 miles. Many mechanics suggest running conventional oil for 10-15,000 before switching. We're low mileage drivers and rarely get off the two laner here on the Island. The 2001 Dakota has 41K and the '06 Accord has about 12,000 (22 mos. old). |

Hi all, I took my 2004 Accord Coup V6 in for regular maintenance on Friday and was told that my "compliance bushings were torn" and had to be replaced. My car only has 35,000 miles. Has anyone heard of this being a problem in this model? They asked if I drove on dirt roads alot, which I sometimes have to do for work. Not sure why this would matter, I'm not racing on them or anything. Also, it cost $500 (parts only $17) is this that labor intensive? Lastly, they also charged me $60 for front end alignment which is what I asked for in the beginning, but shouldn't it have been included in the $500? Thanks in advance for any info you have!

Replying to: wren67 (Mar 03, 2008 11:01 am) I have a quick questions, I want to buy a set of alloy wheels (it is originally from a 05 Accord V6 EX coupe) and put them on my 05 Accord I4 LX sedan to replace the original plastic cover and steel wheels. Is it doable? I called two honda dealership and one of them was firm that it is doable but needs an alignment after the replacement; the other said it might need to check if the calibers needs to be replaced as well. Does anyone has experience on replace rims for 05 Accord? Thanks, Jim

Hello, What is the average fuel consumption for Honda Accord 2007 (LX 2.4 engine) in miles per galon or liters per kilometers? Thanks in advance. |

Replying to: accordman7 (Mar 05, 2008 8:02 am) Back to the point you should be able to get around 26-30mpg once spring hits, when the winter-blend gasoline is phased back out.

Replying to: tankbeans (Mar 05, 2008 8:24 am) I'm one of the 40 MPG people, but I don't get that often. On a typical trip running 75- 80 MPH with little stop and go I'll average well over 35 MPG, usually balancing around 37 MPG on average. Occasionally I top 40 MPG, but that's usually when I stay closer to 70 MPH. By the way, I have a 2006 EX 4-cyl Auto, same powertrain as the LX from 2007. |

Replying to: accordman7 (Mar 05, 2008 8:02 am) I have the same car here(but 1 yr older). You can always check out the MPG forum for more info... The official EPA number I believe is 24/34 (city/highway). |

Replying to: accordman7 (Mar 05, 2008 8:02 am) That varies so much for everyone. Driving styles, outside temps, city/highway combinations, etc. are all factors. I have over 42K miles on my 06 EX-L I4 manual and I've only had 7 tanks of gas under 30 mpg and two of those were under 29 (28.0 has been the lowest). And all of those were in the winter with a lot of short trips. I'm not sure why you are asking but everyone is different. Visit the MPG thread and you will see.

Replying to: tallman1 (Mar 06, 2008 10:21 am) Anyway there isn't enough information about your driving style or where you live to make an informed guess. Good luck. You could also try www.fueleconomy.gov and look up the mpg on the model you are researching. Newer cars tend to do better than older ones of the same model. |
