ok, well maybe not so much. Just bought first Accord (used). 1996 LX 5 speed. Should have plates on it Monday, tomorrow will be time to clean out and spend some one on one time with it. Son has already volunteered to help - which is good as he still has a few years before getting license so the car is safe for now.

 

Welcome to the HAF...

Good place to hang out and learn something at the same time.

crunched the first tank of gas's (?) mileage, 23.92 mpg for city driving. Not a bad place to start for a car that has 137k on it.

 

if it has an auto you should do a drain and fill using only Honda ATF from the dealer.

 

There's a good place to start on.

 

Welcome, I would expect a little better mpg out of it, might want to do a tune up.

 

5 speed.


Will do when the temps come up a bit. As far as expectations on city driving, what should I shoot for? I noticed that on first minute of idle it is high (1500 rpm) and then comes down when warmed up.

 

That is normal
