I have a 2004 accord V6 that I have had for nine months and I track the gas
milage
with a computer program and I average 26.5 MPG since I bought it new last
April.
I use 87 octane and most of my driving is around town.
There are many reasons for such a low milage. Some thing to check
are: If your buying your gas at the same place all the time maybe the gas pump
computer is wrong :it reads 12 gallons but only pumps 10. Someone has a siphon
hose stealing gas from your tank. I owned a 2000 accord V6 before the 2004
and averaged about 24 MPH

I'm in the Ottawa area. I drive an '01 Acura TL and I get slightly better
mileage than you (part of my travel around town is on a highway). Driving
around town in cold weather yields bad mileage with a V6 because they seem
to take forever to fully warm up (compared to a much smaller I4). Usually I
can drive 350 kms with 55 liters of premium fuel in the winter and 450-500
kms in the summer. On a long highway trip at a decent speed (120 kmh) I can
drive 600 kms with 58-60 litres (winter or summer doesn't make much
difference).

I've got 128,000 on mine. there shouldn't be that much
difference in the two vehicle's fuel consumption. Do
you have the service records for the car? I wonder if
the previous owner changed the transmission fluid and
did all of the other regular maintenance that I have
done since I've had my car?

Interesting. I normally am able to put about 500 km on
the tank of fuel in the winter, and close to 800 on the
tank in the summer, using regular fuel. I don't know
how that makes you able to say that you achieve better
mileage than I do.

My mistake. I meant to answer the OP.

If you achieve 800 kms in the summer, you certainly don't drive like I do.
The best that I achieved was 700 kms and that was on a long trip. I used to
drive a 4 cylinder Camry and it wasn't much better on the highway.
