What real world gas mileage do people get with their V6 Honda Accords,
specifically the 3.0L used in the 98-02 EX Accord?

Thanks to all . .

 

City & highway--anywhere from 24 to 32 mpg

I usually get around 28-31 mpg in town and 35-38 mpg on the highway, with my
Wife and I in the car.

About 23 around town (short trips, work commute is only 5 miles one way for
me), about 31 on the highway (CA, where 70MPH on the freeway and you are a
slug).

Maybe all you need is my driving style ;^)

I am guessing that Brian's 'style' includes using the imperial gallon in his
computation of mpg since he is in Canada. The imperial gallon is 20% larger
than the US gallon so getting some of his gas would certainly improve your
computed mileage. It wouldn't save you any money but it makes the number
more impressive.

That, and using cruise control as much as possible.

Why does a slight tax increase cost
you two hundred dollars and a substantial
tax cut saves you thirty cents?

Hi,
Talking about MPG and break lining/disc pad wear is moot.
Every one has different driving style.
Jack rabbit start, hurry up and brake, tail gating which needs
frequent braking, not knowing when to shift, coasting to stop light,
etc., etc.
I think female drivers are worse in general.

I know my Wife does everything you listed, except the tailgating. Her main
downfall, is not looking far enough ahead in traffic to see potential
situations developing, that and watching what is going on around her in the
other four directions.

I love being married. It's so great to find
that one special person, you want to
annoy for the rest of your life.

Nah. Much may be learned from discussing these, and not just about different
driving styles.

Seems like if they were as guilty of the above as you think, they'd have more
accidents.

Insurance data says otherwise: Women are safer drivers, and hence their rates
tend to be lower.

And the miles are smaller as you approach the north pole!

I achieved 37 mpg once. Sure I was driving from NY to Florida with the
cruise on. It can be done, but drops right off if you get off the
interstate.

Brian...
Noticed your "signature: on this post and it rang a bell.I recognize it from
Hfx. newsgroups.
I myself just bought a 2001 Accord ex and thought I would check to see if
there are any NG's covering Hondas,and as you can see I found one.So far I
love it,especially the leather!

See you in Hfx. newsgroups!
