There are no 2013 Accords in there yet.Is yours listed in the 2012 category?

I'm pretty sure I saw the answer to this on another thread. A car has to have 3 fill-ups before it will show on the site. However, you can see all of them if you look at the details for your car in your fuelly garage (assuming you have a 2013), then follow the hyperlink at the bottom by clicking "2013" under "Browse Similar Cars."

Interesting to see the price differance is gas. $4.56 in CA US and only $3.50 in AL US.

Since I assume you're referencing my fill-up...

It's gotten outta hand pretty fast here. I filled up in a smallish coastal town, which certainly didn't do me any favors on price. In general, I've heard the coasts pay the most due to distance from refineries and things. Also, California gas is (I believe) formulated a bit different due to heightened state emissions standards.

This thread talks about engine Oil/Life so I think I'm still on topic. I am wondering what millage did your MM oil live go below 100% and what type of driving you do? Also do you have a V6 or I4? Mine is still at 100% but I don't have too many miles on mine yet.

Mine is at 90% with about 1100 miles on it - not sure when it moved off 100%.

I do about 80% highway driving between 55 and 65 mph.

Thanks, that extrapolates to around 11K before oil change required. I use Pennzoil synthetic around 75% of the manufacture recommendation. That would make your car a little over 8K for oil changes.

I'm interested what others MM Oil/Life are.

hey guys, please post real world MPG's on V6 trims

Thanks

my 09 probably has some mpg eco chart somewhere amongst its gadgets but I havnt found it yet.

I had about half a tank according to the gauge, put 40 bucks in, still didnt bring it to full, so you're looking at anywhere between 80-120 bucks for a full tank in an accord V6, probably 100,

[witty108]

My commute to work is 40 miles. Put on the cruise control today at 70mph on my EX-L V6 coupe and got 34.1MPG. If I don't use cruise control it goes down to about 28-30 MPG.

V6 has a 18.5 gallon gas tank Avg Price for gas $3.89.
18.5 x $3.89 =$72 for a full tank.
My avg MPG is poor,I drive mostly city.

Meh n ok price, but even then that suggests nearly 400-600 miles per tank, is that right>?

This. Much more statistically valid sampling.

[blyndgesser]

I'm on fuelly, with the same user name (blyndgesser). Lifetime average on my Sport CVT (only two tanks so far) is 34.2 mpg, with about 75% highway driving. About the same mpg as our '99 Civic EX, and not far off our '09 Fit (both manuals).

And the in-dash display was correct to within 0.1 mpg on the last fillup, which is a big surprise compared to the Fit (which reads about 10% high).
