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.

The most I've managed to do is 855 km before the low
fuel light lit up.

About 30-32 on the highway is about right for me.

City is around 20.

as a matter of fact,I went to Old Orchard Beach last summer and I got
31miles PG also.
I think when it warms up a bit,like it has been doing,my mileage will
improve a bit.15 miles per gallon is hard to take.
I am doing a highway/city mileage test and so far I am up to 300kms. ...180
of those are highway.I believe I used approx. 2/3rds of a full tank so
far.This seems a lot better than the last tank.Although all city driving,I
got only 227 kilometers off that last tank full

I have a 2001 v6 and in the metro NYC are I get about 18 in the city and
about 26 on the highway.
The city mileage have been lousy from day one.
The new accords 4cyl is better you don't give much in performance plus the
engine is stronger along with the security of a timing chain.

I started a post a few months about the 2001 v6 mileage...not sure if this
is a re:to the same post.I was getting 15.5 miles per gallon in the
city,during the winter.Since then that has increased to exactly what you
said...18 mpg's.A little better,but would be nice if it were in the 20's of
course.I read in the pamphlet that you should get 21mpg.I am referring to
the "pretty"large fold out flyer you get at the dealers.
On the highway I get close to 31 mpg.

31 highway winter or summer? snow tires/chains? Based on this mileage
it looks like your car is in good shape and running well.

I have a 2005 Accord v6. I tend to get an average of about 24-27
in mixed city/highway driving (probably more highway miles). I have
the nav unit and it has a page that shows the instantaneous mpg.
On a level highway at constant speed I often see 35-45 mpg at 60-75
mph. In the city I see 0 when stopped; to 10-15 when accelerating.
I'm fairly gentle on the pedal and try to coast (at least not
accelerate) when approaching red lights.

15 seems a bit low for city but it could be reasonable depending
on rolling resistance (snow / slush) and how aggressively you
accelerate. They designed the engine to accelerate the car fairly
aggressively if one steps firmly on the pedal. Of course the
engine consumes lots of gas to do this.

You could try taking a test drive in a nav equipped accord and look
at the instantaneous mpg page.

the 15 city during winter is what scares me.Oh well,gotta pay for comfort I
guess.
