Our '03 V-6 Accord can return low 20s fuel economy when we use it in
short trip grocery-getter mode. Highway economy ranges from 26-30 mpg
depending upon speeds and conditions.

My wife's 2005 Civic EX 5 speed coupe was EPA 32/38. She gets
25 mpg driving around town (lots of 1st and 2nd) and 35 mpg on the
road at 70+ mph. She drives it agressively !

Her 1997 Civic EX 5 speed coupe was the same way.

Ah ha! If you put your foot into it the Accord can certainly burn
plenty of fuel, especially if you have the V-6.

Yeah, but this is a 4 cyl.

If I knew I would have gotten 18, I probably would have bought her a
bigger car, but she has this thing about fuel consumption. I drive a
lincoln town car that has a large V-8 and it gets 18 MPG around town;
and it's 6 years old.
