Re: accord v6 fuel mileage
I have a 2004 accord V6 that I have had for nine months and I track the gas
milage with a computer program and I average 26.5 MPG since I bought it new last April. I use 87 octane and most of my driving is around town. There are many reasons for such a low milage. Some thing to check are: If your buying your gas at the same place all the time maybe the gas pump computer is wrong :it reads 12 gallons but only pumps 10. Someone has a siphon hose stealing gas from your tank. I owned a 2000 accord V6 before the 2004 and averaged about 24 MPH slider wrote: > 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! |

Re: accord v6 fuel mileage
I'm in the Ottawa area. I drive an '01 Acura TL and I get slightly better
mileage than you (part of my travel around town is on a highway). Driving around town in cold weather yields bad mileage with a V6 because they seem to take forever to fully warm up (compared to a much smaller I4). Usually I can drive 350 kms with 55 liters of premium fuel in the winter and 450-500 kms in the summer. On a long highway trip at a decent speed (120 kmh) I can drive 600 kms with 58-60 litres (winter or summer doesn't make much difference).

I normally am able to put about 500 km on the tank of fuel in the winter, and close to 800 on the tank in the summer, using regular fuel. I don't know how that makes you able to say that you achieve better mileage than I do. Brian |

Re: accord v6 fuel mileage
My mistake. I meant to answer the OP.
If you achieve 800 kms in the summer, you certainly don't drive like I do. The best that I achieved was 700 kms and that was on a long trip. I used to drive a 4 cylinder Camry and it wasn't much better on the highway.
