Gas Mileage
I have a 2012 Honda Accord EX-L V coupe, with 1000 miles, and I am only getting 22 MPG. I don't drive the vehicle hard and 80% is highway miles. What gas mileage is everyone else getting for this vehicle.

welcome. so is this a 4 cyl, auto?
anyway, some bad mpg calculations come from filling up the tank when it's mostly full
and the math division is affected.
If this is case, wait until tank is ~1/4 full to fill up and do it again the next fill-up and re-calculate it.
If this is so simple it's insulting, I apologize - but I have an acquaintance who inflicted his theories
on me as to why he's getting such bad gas mileage, until I found out he's filling up every 1 1/2 gallons. WTH?
my old 1993 4 cyl 5-spd gets 32 hgwy, 29 around town,
with 17 gallon tank that works out to 475+ miles / tank.
See if you can't go 300 miles before next tanking up...

A figure of 22 mpg on V6 in city driving may not be too bad for a new engine. Most V6's will only get about 22-25 mpg w/ city driving w/ some effort at driving conservatively. On highway they may increase to 28-29 mpg.
Make sure all tires are correctly inflated.
good luck

My new 2012 Accord coupe 4 cylinder is only getting 21mpg on mixed driving. I have around 2500 miles on it and it's not getting any better. Has anyone had a similar mpg issue? The dealer says it's going to improve after 5000 miles but I'm not seeing any improvement so far???
