I have every right and justification to express my displeasure with the VCM. The 1990 Legend was still more fun and less annoying to drive. |

Replying to: hpowders (Jan 20, 2008 4:55 pm) If they achieved 23mpg for 3.0L engine, for 3.5L engine (without VCM) they should have achieved only 19.7mpg (calculations below), but they've acheived 21mpg, which is improving their own efficiency by 7%. So now you have even more power with greater efficiency. Thank GOD for Honda! (23x3) / 3.5 = 19.7

It really isn't necessary for those who do not own this particular vehicle to continue to insist that what some owners are experiencing is no big deal. We have a few, some, several, a lot (who knows how many are lurking; it's a whole lot more than those posting) of members who have issues with this technology. Let's let them discuss it without repeatedly telling them their experiences are nothing to be concerned about. Thanks.

Replying to: binmath88 (Jan 21, 2008 12:37 am) One of big "problem" with the new Accord V-6 when it comes to fuel economy? Needs to on a major diet - 3600 pound Honda? Our 1990 Legend Sedan was 3100 pounds, the 2007 V-6 Sedan 3344 pounds. Odd thing? Honda used to actually get MORE mpg than EPA advertised - example? The Legend? EPA rated 19/22 for the auto. We regularly got 20+ all around and 26 on the highway. Why did it get less MPG than today's cars? Well, only had 161 HP V-6 so lbs/ hp were high, and final gearing was higher so engine revved higher at highway speeds, so engine worked harder. I got 28 MPG with a Pontiac Trans Am on the highway - 2000 RPM at 80!!!!!!!!! Talk about overdrive! And Corvettes get in the high 20's also for the same reason. |
