My friends 2000 accord 4d auto, ac./ps/pw and is getting about 22-23mpg. Hes'been to the dealer
for tune up plugs etc. all checks out. Anyone know of some obscure thing were overlooking?

My 88 accord gets about 30mpg.

It does have a roof rack but it only seemed to drop the mpg by 1-2.

Thanks, Duane

 

how does he drive does he have a lead foot? check tire pressure.

 

is he constantly running the A/c or heat all the time? driving with the windows down, inconsistent speed (I.E. full speed or no speed)..

 

yeah thats pretty low. I drive like a god damn jack rabbit and i get thoose numbers. tech75 is right check tire pressures.

 

make sure the engine is running at theproper temperature. When the cooling system is functioning properlycombustion will bevery efficient. If it is not then your gas mileage will suffer.

 

clogged or dirty egr ports may affect it as well... I'm assuming on the tune up that they did the air filter as well?

 

Thanks will EGR would seem to be the only overlooked thing. I noticed I posted this as a 1995 its a 2000.

 

take the dead hookers out of the trunk. the drop in weight should help.
