i swear we had one of theses threads but the search function fails and i couldn't find it lol sooo it was probably time for a new one anyway!.
so post what you get!
mine.
"Your gas mileage is 13.3 miles per US gallon and your fuel cost is $0.25 / mile. You like burning fuel, don't you?"
Accord. i am a disiapoint
i get 25 mpg city and highway 32 mpg
die ^
Last two gas-ups, 32mpg city, up to 47mpg highway.
Get some.
die more ^.. lol im off to go see if i can figure out why the accord is trying to break me
about 31.5mpg city, mixed driving (normal/thrash) b20a with pt5 ecu :)
but seeing from the others posting they get more mpg maybe cause i like thrashing haha
In the Scion im getting 26-27mpg mixed, driving like a total asshole 70% of the time.
Thrashing on what, a Geo Metro? ;) Your coupe is not a 2.0Si.Quote:

its 15.9 miles to work x 4 trips / 3 gallons = 22.53
29 mpg city, 35 mpg hwy.
3G gets about 30+
EF Si gets 35-40
i get around 24-25mpg mixed driving....what kills my gas is the 5th gear is still from the integra
my 240 gets 19mpg, just rippin it,ive done one 100% highway run and got 30mpg driving like a grandma my accord is worse then that.
I'm getting about 20mpg city, and around 28-30 highway. Absolutely shitty mileage because of the cam.
Funny thing, with your 13 mpg your fuel cost is about the same as mine with 35 mpg (highway). In town I get more like 20-25 mpg, which makes my fuel cost somewhere around $0.40-0.45/mile. Yay for gas being about $7.60/gal over here.Quote:

L/100k:8.3
somethings wrong with my civic arrghghhhh
0_0 $7.60 a gallon?!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!?!?!?!?!? FFF THAT! id be riding my bike everywhere :lol:... when it hit 4.99 it was almost imposible to drive! its currently 3.31 a gallon for premium...accord runs like shit on regular or midgrade lol
i think 35mpg is bout right for a manual b20a.Quote:

for you yanks , thats imperial gallons, not the girlie US gallon
^^i dont have a running accord, this is the civic doooode, it should be way better as its rated 7.2 or 7.5l/100k in an orthia!
i need to pull off the rocker cover and see if the cam timing is all good
thats prob still to bad for a civ.
my mums d15 powered civ only just cracks 40mpg on the open road.
thats not too bad really. my accord used to get better than my civic. some civics use more gas cause their d series engines are underpowered. my civic shd be good cause its overpowered
Ooh, now I see why you guys are always getting so high mpg ;)Quote:

thats with, or withought AC, and pretymuch only city.
My 86 gets 28mpg mixed on 87 octane. For some reason, the mileage gets worse with 89 and 93 octane. So, at $2.60/gallon, my cost per mile would be $0.09.
The Accord is getting 32 mpg pretty consistently. The Bimmer gets 20.1. No more, no less. I don't know what the truck is getting cause I have it torn apart all across the shed.
CAH, don't feel too bad. I never got more than about 20 mpg out of my 4g. They designed that car more for performance than economy. The Camry at that time was sporting a V6 along with every other mid-sized car, so Honda had to really up the performance at the cost of mileage. Even so, 13 is pretty crummy. Let us know what you learn.
my gas mileage was done in US mpg, i prefer km/l anyway, which is around 13.5km/l
accord - 33
mountaineer - 19 (not to bad for a 4.6L v8)
f-150 - 14
DRZ400 - 50-55 lol
Am i doing something wrong? why does my milage suuuuck? =/
accord=0
legend= maybe 25 just DD but having fun like 20
explorer=11 on a good day... and take a guess which one my broke, penny pinching ass is stuck with?
im guessing the explorer hahaQuote:

yup even when i just drive it normally it gets shitty milage so i typically kepp my foot to the floor lol. i figure if im getting the same bad milage i might as well have fun right?
That's also my line of thought :lol:Quote:

Didnt even think to post my bike..
78 Suzuki GS750, with individual K&N Pod filters, Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust, and jetted a little too rich gets around 30mpg..but just like the car im riding like an asshole most of the time.
bout tree fiddy.
i get like 28-34 hwy and city. depends if im in boost or not :D
probably faster than 99% of cars on here :lol:Quote:

As A18A stated previously, my preference is also for km/l. I get between 13.4 and 14.0 km/l. The weight of my foot determines my fuel economy.
lol for now... the transmission is acting up now so i may have to replace soon :(Quote:

My 87 Accord Dx just got 27mpg (60% city; 40% city) before I changed the oil & air filter. I've also got a bad wheel bearing that I'm sure will help out when fixed. Last night I put in some STP gas treatment in (Autozone had a 3 for $5 deal going). I'm hoping to get somewhere around 30mpg after the wheel bearing & my pcv valve get replaced.
13km/L open road on a good day.
this is in my accord with B20A 5MT light cam regrind adjustable cam gears, Aftermarket B20B intake manifold, High comp pistons and no tune
ive hit 54mpg in the 95 civic ex. average is in-between 37-47 depending on how i drive it
I had to scroll up here, so somebody had a turbo explorer?
B20 LX never gets much over 25 sometimes 28 , should get better after it's aligned. Manifold floor too close to carb base & It needs a carb spacer, it will after the hole is cut in the hood.lol
A20a3 Hatch gets 25-31
I'm getting 25mpg, mostly back roads, 10 miles to work and back. I also have a bad wheel bearing (fixing this weekend) and I'm going to replace my PCV valve too.
What should I expect on a 1987 Accord DX manual?
Ways to get better MPG?
I drive ~120 miles round trip to work in my accord. I drive in 1/2 mountains and 1/2 city. 80% freeway. average a little over 3k rpm (little high for me) and a little over 70 MPH.
It has 2.0LXI, 5 speed, 175/70r13 tires, 2" resonator, 2" CA legal cat, and a 2.25" straight pipe to the rear bumper.
So far I calculated 34 MPG. I have noticed that my odo spins at a diff rate than my trip meter, so Im going to map my route per fill up and get more accurate results.
*more accurate MPG*
I ran a full tank of gas and this is how it came down:
63.5 - miles per way to/from work
x6 - trips
=
381 - miles
+2.8 - miles from gas station to my house
+14 -miles to final fill up station
=
397.8 total miles
/10.81 - gallons of gas
=
36.79 MPG BABY!
I used google maps to calculate the distances because odometers in cars are always off. I knew there's a reason I want to commute in this car rather than my 2007 corolla s.
Will new, taller tires will improve MPG?
