Also, when i was going to school in Iowa I would by the 15% ethanol blend (Iowa loves corn, so obviously they dump it into everything) on my 250 mile trips home, I got a lot better gas mileage and performance than the regular 87... I know it goes against everything said about ethanol, but it's true!

 

my tanks holds about 15 gallons....i get around 220 miles for fill up. wtf.

 

I get 22-35 in my 94 Accord LX 4 cyl. I usually get 26.

 

i get 30 miles per gallon or 540 full tank/18gallon in the cit maybe 25 or so

 

I'm going to start a new thread on my low mpg. I don't want to hijack this one.

 

95 accord ex (automatic)

I get about 24 mpg highway/city. Exclusive highway will yield about 26 mpg.

I too have been trying to figure out how to squeeze more mileage per gallon on my accord. It is due for a tuneup. Definatly use NKG plugs. I was wondering if it was even worth replacing distributor cap/rotor ...does that make a difference?

Ive read that overinflating tires (tojust undermax tire pressure specs) reduces drag ...at the expense of more wear on your tires. However, at current gas prices, it might be worth it.

The best way to improve mileage is to go easy in the gas. As your car goes through gears, make sure it isnt "reving" itself. Allow it to slowly shift from 1st, to 2nd to 3rd. Dont press the pedal too hard, too fast. Reduce weight in your car. Sub boxes may be 40-50 pounds. If you have a stick, you';ll get better mileage. I knew a guy with a 97 accord stick and was always around 30 mpg

 

I've begun an experiment to improve gas mileage on my 94EX. I inflated tires to 35 and am limitiing rpm during acceleration and cruise to 2000 rpm. This gives around 60 mph in 4th OD and yields modest but acceptable acceleration. I've got about 125 miles on first 1/4 tank. A very good result would be to increase to 28 mpg from about 26 on last tank. I'll post my results next week when I fill up again.

regards

 

Im sorry folks, I dont know what I get and of course, I dont care what I get..This is not ment to be a smart BUTT answer, but a true one..

So what needs to be done to improve gas mileage.
I recently replace cap and rotor with Honda part, but it didn't help much.
I'm still getting about 18 mpg average.
Mine is a 98 Accord EX 4dr with 162k mile, original owner.
Please help.
If I can't figure it out, I may have to sell it.
Thanks,

 

hey guys i got a 2000 2dr with a v6 and by myself in the car i get around 32 or so depending on the wind and my mood while driving. a was making about 150 miles on a 1/4 tank of gas. think i got like a 17 gallon tank. one time i got 28.5 whith 5 (not so small) guys and enough luggage for a weekend trip up north. that was a 340mile round trip and it was only 3/4 of a tank down the whole. the guy driving back didnt use the cruise control. in town is awfull its like 22 or so
