hey guys ,i've got a 2004 honda accord ,4cyl. lx model,with 76400 miles on dash, i bought it brand new from the dealer,it was a dream come true great on gas with good torque and handling, but now the gas milage is not impresive and it seems i've lost alot of torque , whatMODS can i do to my accord to improve gas milage ,torque and a bump in HP,thanks for your time.

 

what milage are you getting?

I had a 94 that got 25/28/34 mpg

 

Usually an upage in HP doesnt go hand in hand with a gain in MPG......................... So which way do you wanna go?

 

technically intake (maybe headers) increase MPG if driven correctly because it frees up the restrictive OEM airways.

 

I have the exact same car, I am looking to upgrade my gas mileage as well.

I was wondering if anyone had messed around with the Jet chips, can they make a difference enough to get better gas mileage?

 

JET chips are way too expensive IMO...

 

The single MOST IMPORTANT thing that influences gas mileage is your own right foot.

Ive gotten 40mpg highwaywith 03 Accord 4-cyl 5-spd - IF I DRIVE SMOOTHLY.

 

i've gotten 43-46mpg if not more on highway w/ the mini cooper!

But im behind J_Man... MPG and HP don't go hand to hand

 

my 94 lx with all its mods(signature) along with an igntion tune up gets like 20 mpg in city driving. of course it needs valve adjustment and some new belts but its ok

 

What's the service history on the car? Is all the maintenance up to date? Exactly what is the drop in mileage? Although the plugs are supposed to last 100K or so why not change them now? You just might regain what you feel you have lost IF all other items are up to snuff like air cleaner, etc.
