Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2007Accord mileage ?
Have been looking at purchasing either a new Accord or Camry. A friend has an '05 Accord and insists that he gets 37mpg on the highway all the time. Is this really what they get, or a bunch of B.S. ? ? If it is true, the Accord outdoes the Camry by a WIDE margin. Sure would appreciate any feedback. Thx Zork Maybe with the 4cyl. My '98 with the V6 gets 29-31 on the highway, depending on speed(75-65mph). Al G > Have been looking at purchasing either a new Accord or Camry.

Maybe even with an automatic. We regularly get 34 mpg on a trip with our 2003 Accord V-6. That's driving up to 80 mph, but typically between 70 and 75.

I think you could reasonably expect 30 to 33 at a steady 70 or so with the A/C off, and not too many hills. > Have been looking at purchasing either a new Accord or Camry.

I had a 2000 Accord 4 cylinder manual transmission car, and it got 35mpg on the highway in the summer (AC on) going through the mountains. I'd say, it's quite possible. > Have been looking at purchasing either a new Accord or Camry. A friend has > an '05 Accord and insists that he gets 37mpg on the highway all the time. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thx > Zork I have received 35mpg highway on an 06 I4 Accord coupe with an auto. Air off. Typically run around 75. I suppose if you cut your speed 37 is possible. >> Have been looking at purchasing either a new Accord or Camry. A friend >> has [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > off. Typically run around 75.

Took it on a 200 mile trip last week-- mostly on the interstate-- and got 31 mpg with the AC on. Speed was mostly between 60 and 70, no passengers. > I have a new 07 Accord V6 with only 1100 miles on it.

So 37 with a 4 banger and manual transmission is easily accomplished. > Have been looking at purchasing either a new Accord or Camry.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thx > Zork I have an '05 Accord MT and the best I've been able to do was 34mpg mostly highway, almost 35mpg. This is with the a/c on most of the way and into New York City (where traffic is bad). Speed was probably around 65mph - 85mph. I think the automatic actually gets slightly better gas mileage than the manual during highway driving. Hitting 37mpg is probably very optimistic but probably possible depending on conditions. -Dave > Have been looking at purchasing either a new Accord or Camry. A friend has > an '05 Accord and insists that he gets 37mpg on the highway all the time. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thx > Zork IMO, if he keeps it under 65, it may well be possible. (My 92 Accord gets ~32 as a daily driver, and an honest ~35+ on long relaxed road trips.) Lots of reports: Accord http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX?14@@.ef7c366/0 vs. Camry http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX?14@@.ef7f8e9/0 Bro-in-law regularly gets over 900kms (560mi) on a 65L (17ga) tank. When he fills he only gets about 15 gallons in. That equals around 37MPG. 2001 accord I4 MT. t >Have been looking at purchasing either a new Accord or Camry.

I get about 32mpg with all highway driving at around 80mph, A/C on, 3 passengers (2 kids and one adult) and a full trunk. ==================================================================== Khalid
