I am fairly new to my '06 Accord EX-L 4 cylinder 5 speed manual. So far I am getting about 37 mpg with mostly highway driving and 30-32 in mixed town/highway driving. The tires are inflated to about 35-36 lbs and my driving habits are light to moderate acceleration. Also note this is warmer weather driving. The figures should drop once winter sets in.

It was an auto ..... I average 10-15 miles a day during the week. On a NNJ highway that should be called a racetrack ..... 3 lanes each side with lights. Also, I had an autostarter and usually intended to give it 5 minutes to warm up, but actually gave it about 15 ...... had the thing tuned with VTEC engagement at 3200 rpms ..... at WOT, 2nd gear would hit 7000 rpms with it in D ..... it could rip up there really quickly ......... take a listen.
