Hey dudes and chicks. So I just joined so HI EVERYONE!



- minimal A/C usage

- 90% highway driving

- never over 3000rpms

- 3 people+ luggage+gas= approximately 3,650lbs
-------------------------------------------------------
260miles on half tank= 30.6mpg

-filled at 3/4 at 420 miles= 32.9 mpg! :banana:

Is anyone else getting this kinda mileage? Or are my calculations totally off?

On a normal school week I get between 22- 27.


*Automatic transmission
*K/N airfilter element

never over 3000rpm? maybe u get such good mpg cuz u drive like a grandma...

LOL that is insane. I have a 2000 Honda Accord LX and only get 20 mpg combined from the day I got the car 5 years ago.

That mileage sounds high..
:paranoid:

Let my uncle borrow my car and he drives mostly highway, said he got 520miles to the tank, ive never gotten that my self, but i guess if i stay to the speed limit anything is possible

those numbers are a bit high but i can see how they are possible i still get like 27 on the highway going to my girlfriends college and im doing 85-90 so thats steady 3k rpms and i still get good mileage

never over 3000rpm? maybe u get such good mpg cuz u drive like a grandma...

LOL :lmao:

Are you using the actual gallons pumped in for your mpg calculation, or are you guessing the gallons based on the location of the needle? I'm asking since you mention a "half tank" vs. gallons.

Yes, please tell us the equation you used when calculating your mpg. Not trying to call you out, I just want to make sure we're on the same page. Good job on you great mpg though.

good call. yes, I think I based it on the actual gallons pumped, I tried to fill it up before leaving for the Minnesota trip as close to 17 gallons as possible from what was left. I drove as long as i possibly could before filling up (prior to trip). I was literally out of gas and glided into the gas station with the engine conked out. I still have the receipt from that fill up. It was 16.802 gallons. :naughty:

*BTW, I'm good at driving and am a very mild-moderate driver normally. Never do I drive like a grandpa. Save it for trips.

i have a 2001 accord 4cyl and i get 22 mpg in the city which i think is pretty food, but my math could be off 375 miles/ 17 gallon tank if that is correct = 22.09

( would seafoming the car give it better gas mileage???)

Plus one.

Seafoaming???

guys just to let you know, this guy is for real. He's so insane about gas mileage he NEVER lets me turn on the air conditioning in the car :P

im lucky if i get even 250 miles on a full tank lol

I usually never drive the car past 1/4 tank but my last couple fill-ups were 28-29 mpg. Very good for a V6! :thmsup:

yeah ive been getting around 350 miles per tank these days. I just seafoamed it and got an oil change. I've yet to clean the air filter.

LOL that is insane. I have a 2000 Honda Accord LX and only get 20 mpg combined from the day I got the car 5 years ago.

:wave: True that same here i drive a V6 and prob get 20 mpg and thats calling it fair....

I have the V6, I average 20-22 in the city and 26-28 on the highway

It's crazy how these 6th gens can trump the mpgs of plenty of new cars.

I got the same car and year. I usually get about 25 miles/gallon average city/highway. (I never drive just city or just highway so can't check um seperate)

I don't keep her under 3k RPM's though. Yeah that would be Grandma driving for sure. Screw that.................

It's totally possible, i normally get 25-28 from my v6 without much city driving. Last summer i had a tank yield 32.1 but it was basically all highway and backroads and only 2 starts from cold. It really seems to make a diff if the thing is warm and running continuously.

True, so many new cars' mileage is in the toilet compared to our antiques!
