An interesting question. I average 19-20 mpg - usually steady daily freeway driving (11 miles each way), mostly in 4th or 5th gear (rarely in 6th). I can't believe I'm driving that much harder than ppl who are getting 25-30 mpg.

Why do you suppose there's so much variation in gas mileage?

About 25 MPG on road trips, but lucky to get 15-20 in the city

I drive it about every other weekend or so. But when I do drive it, I work it a little. So while my gas lasts me over a month, I get poor gas mileage during that time. In the 8 months that I've owned it, I think I've gotten gas 7-8 times.

I get about 30 mpg on the highway and 24 in the city. Pretty good considering I am in Vtech land most of the time.

The most I have gotten is about 30 m.p.g. on an "all-highway" trip, around town 19-23 m.p.g. is the norm. Again, no complaints.

Well, after going over 200 miles for the Irvine drive, I still had 4 bars of gas. I figure I got about 25 mpg, even with all of the vtecing that we did.

At 1100 miles, last fill-up averaged 27+. That included a lot of stop and go city driving, some e-way, and just a bit on the other side of 7K Who ever said it here first, It just gets better the more you drive it! sure was right!

Thank you Honda! Thank you, thank you

A bit more on my mileage. My lowest mileage (I keep records of all mileage) so far has been 27 and a fraction. I usually refill at 1/4 tank. Always use premium (as per manual) and probably VTEC to 9k up the freeway ramp 3 or 4 times a refill. About 70% of my driving is at a constant 55-70 mph. Not much around town and waiting in traffic. If there's traffic I'm in my truck! By the way, to even it out, my truck gets about 8-9 and the wife's Saturn wagon about 22. I expect my truck to burn fuel, but I'd think the wife's would be a bit better - she drives harder than I do!
