This last week took my newest Accord, 206,000 miles - '92 5-spd (a last winter shot, when I bought it) on 620 mile round trip. Up and back.


on 310 mile return trip, 2-lane roads, few towns, few stop lights, let me count those few stop lights ... uummm - 7 (if you don't count the one you can turn right on).

I filled up in the morning, reset the odometer. I've noticed I always get fabulous mpg whenever I stay the night at this place.
Magical gas. Anyway,got the best gas mileage ever for this car ...

at 143 miles



at 244 miles



at 310 miles trip ended. I started driving in normal area where I usually get ~30 mpg


and then at 350 miles



and the low fuel warning started to show at 503 miles


when filled up at 520 miles it took 14.8 gallons for 35+ mpg.
Considering that the last 200 miles were in more normal driving area where I've gotten 30 mpg before,
I must have been getting 38-39 mpg for the first 310 miles, basically almost non-stop trip.

Magical gas. Good car.

 

I was traveling thru a scenic area so I had my camera at the ready and decided to document the fuel use.

 

my 93 Accord could do 550 plus on a full tank! and if your gas gauge reads anything like mine does?i can drive 110 is when the gauge reaches the "F" mark.
i dont know exactly how many more miles i could have driven before the tank was empty?
but i wasent about to find out!but it made me feel Dam! good to see my "93 Accord" do that kind of miles on one tank!a 20yr.old car do that???i love "HER"

 

oh an by the way she has 277,143 OG miles on "HER"
