Well as topic says yes i am new here. I dont yet have an accord. We are going to test drive one tommorrow so i will have one shortly. A few questions though. Some have V-TECH. All i know is that it has something to do with the engine. What exactly is it and will it do anything to gas milage?

Welcome to HAF!  And congrats on your soon to be Accord!  Usually Hondas with Vtec have more power.  It is a system that can vary timing, so if you floor your Accord it will adjust and drop the "gas saving mode" and make your engine perform better.  Thats just a watered down version though.  I would go to google and search it.

V-tech is a brand of phone, you'll get teased for calling it that.
 
Honda VTEC is variable valve timing & lift.  On DOHC engines (Integra & Prelude), VTEC is designed to give more power at higher RPM without getting all flat at idle & low RPM.
 
On the SOHC engines (in Accords) it's designed more for gas economy, & doesn't have as much of a performance kick.
