I just bought a 2003 Honda Accord EX V-6. Love it so far, but I'm only getting around 17 miles per gallon in town. I'm interested in what other people are getting.

Thanks!

I have a 1995 Accord EX Wagon with 105,000 miles. It has always gotten good mileage. I get 21-22 mpg in town and 30-32 mpg on the highway.

I'm getting 22 to 25 mpg in a new Accord EX (4 cyl)

It should get better once you've accumulated the necessary break-in miles and the weather warms up. Do they oxygenate the gas in your area during winter months?

I have an 01 I-4 and have averaged 20-21 city and 30-34 interstate cruising at 70-75mph with an automatic trans.

I'm not sure if they oxygenate the gas or not? I do know that I've been using gas with ethanol added (10% I think) ... I'm wondering if that might be some if the problem?

I've read where others from the frozen tundra say ethanol does reduce mpg, but being from the South, I have no firsthand experience with it.

Again, spring is not far off. The warmer weather and a few miles should help.

What grade fuel do you use.

Have a 2001 V-6. Most of my driving is freeway, 70 miles R/T daily and 60 is freeway.

The first 30,000 miles were disappointing, getting 24-25 mpg. Complained to dealer but to no avail. Then "all of a sudden" the mileage jumped and it routinely gets 27.4 - 28.0 mpg. NO EXPLANATION. The variation of 0.5 mpg in current mileage can be attributed to traffic jams, additional miles on surface streets, etc (I don't keep track). What I can not figure out is why the 2+ mpg jump at roughly 30K on the odo!! Driving habits have not changed (use cruise control most of the time).

Does anyone have an explanation????

I've been getting 31 mpg with my I4/auto from the first tank, commuting 35 miles each way. 2000 miles on the odo.

Now that I had the car for a month, I checked my tires and found that they were over-inflated by 6 psi (were 36, supposed to 29/30). I adjustd the pressure and will see if there is a major difference. Yes, the tires were "cool" because I hadn't driven that day, ambient temp about 75 F.

The spare was under-inflated by 10 psi, so check those tires now that it is warmer.:mad:

I get about 30-32 in city/highway driving (to and from work) it is about 80 percent highway and 20% backroads.

Just got back from a long road trip (about 1,400 miles) and I averaged aroud 40 miles per gallon on regular unleaded.

2000 EX, Coupe, Manual Trans. (4 cyl) - 65k miles. No tuneups or anything, everything is original.

I have also had a best of 40mpg in my coupe.
Cincinnati, OH to Pigeon Forge, TN
Generally my combined highway and town is around 27mpg.

Recently returned from a road trip. Posted mileages here.
