Gasoline.... ouch

[Deadhead]

What does your Accord get for gas milage and what do you think gas prices will get to in the next year?

i get about 26 MPG and gas seems to be getting really pricy... in CO, it's pretty cheap from other places from what i hear, it's about $ 2.07 per gallon.

I think we're at 2.09 a gallon and we get mid to high 20's. Don't know the exact number because there is no gauge that tells me unlike the olds that I drive.

Whumbachumba - why not just calculate from one (complete) tankful to the next? That's going to be pretty accurate.

usually I get 20 mpg but sometimes less than that - on the highway i get about 23. I changed the oil and cleaned out the fuel system, maybe it needs a major tuneup. The gas mileage makes me miss my civic

Well, it's not my car yet, so I'll have to wait till I can do that. The only reason I know the olds mpg is because everything on it is digital and has sensors up the whazoo.

do you floor it alot!?? cuz that would cause you to get horrible gas mileage!

I just got 29.3 mpg on a trip with speeds mostly around 70mph. You can get great milage with an accord if you just keep it tuned and right.
When I first got mine it was around 26. A tune up/auto-rx/injection clean up with techron/transmission fluid flush and Mobil 1 synthetic oil gets me up close to 30 now. Give it a try. And use Honda or NSK plugs.
It is a 97 LX 4 cyl automatic.
