accord v6 fuel mileage
I am wondering what kind of gas mileage to expect from my 2001 accord v6.I
owned it for 8 months or so and decided to see what kind of mileage I was getting.I did some figuring with city driving and I am getting a "disgusting"15.5 miles per gallon. As far as I have been reading,this seems way too low.Anyone else getting mileage this low in city driving?My tires are up to proper psi,however I have yet to replace the filters and plugs that may boost it up a bit. thanks in advance! |

City get around 24-25 mpg. Highway, 3500 mile RT trip going about 75-80 mph--got 27-29 mpg, can get higher, over 30, if I slow down. Don't figure your mileage on one fill up. It will be inaccurate. Try calculating over several tankfulls and see if that makes any difference. If not, then you've got a problem. MLD |

I've never got any mileage that low. I'm getting between 28 and 30 mpg in town through the winter with my Accord (same year and engine as yours). Brian |

Re: accord v6 fuel mileage
that brings up a good point.When they test cars for mileage per gallon,they
should refer to winter time or summer time.It makes a huge difference,probably as huge as highway and city.

Re: accord v6 fuel mileage
well Brian,I filled it up a week or so ago.Drove around Halifax for that
week and filled up again yesterday.It took 44.13 litres and my odometer read 227 kilometers. Did I do the math correctly?

Re: accord v6 fuel mileage
The EPA tests fuel economy for bureaucratic reasons - they are used for
calculating CAFE ratings. Actually, any semblance to the numbers we get are coincidental.
