Being as how it's a UK auto I question if any of the offerings from The Colonies would be applicable. Have you tried a search using Google?

Hi, I'm also from the UK and have an Accord Type-V 2.0L. I've only have it a few weeks, but it seems to be using a lot of fuel, I get about 290 mile out of a full tank? How does this measure up with yours? Its got 55k on the clock.

Its a W-Reg, made in 2000, manual, and I'm getting 290 miles out of a full tank. I don't know how large the tank is though, but in comparison to the Vauxhall Calibra I had before, its costing more to fill up, and I'm getting less miles out of it. The Calibra was a 2.0L 16V. A full tank, which was smaller, was getting me 350 miles.

Next time I fill up I'll produce some miles per gallon/litre type figures, be interested if other could post a few for Accords of a simialr age and spec....

I did a check, I'm getting 22.47 Miles Per Gallon and 5.935 miles per litre, so its not that bad i guess.
