What is the best to drive to get the best MPG?

I always push the Accelerator pedal really slowly from 0 to normal speed and brake very slowly also

My Accord also had a MAX AC button. If I use that, does it mean the it uses more gas?

Not at all. The AC compressor is either on or off. Max AC means AC + recirculating cabin air only.

Yea but there is a seperate button for the recirculating air. So what makes MAX AC different? It seems to cool faster

Theres no V4 Accord, its in-line 4.

Max AC is a combination of the highest blower speed along with recirc. Yes, you can do the same thing with the individual controls but there it is all in ONE BUTTON.
