So the 2008 Honda accord 2.5 L V4 is suppose to have a 18.5 gallon tank. If you do the math using its 28-31 mpg you should be getting 450 miles per tank. I am getting 250.

I contacted Honda and the suggested trying different brands of fuel and getting a new fuel injector. I am not going to pay for another new fuel injector. I tried different brand of fuel and saw very minimal increases in my miles. I finally decided to do some research myself and found out by buying 18 gallons worth of gas and putting it in a gas can and then draining the rest of fuel with another can that I only put 13.5 gallons in the empty cars tank. My car came with a 13.5 gallon tank not a 18.5 gallon tank. I immediately contacted Honda and they said that can't be true and called me a liar and refused to fix a issue they made. Thanks Honda.

I only get 15 to 19 MPG max out of this car and have complained over and over. I have been told by the dealer to use only Chevron fuel. And, to buy Chevron fuel/injector cleaner. Then, run the crap out of it for a full tank of gas. Then, I went back and was told to chart my mileage for three tanks of fuel. I did this and then took the results in. I was informed that I did not need these results. My computer was flashed with the original factory image on four separate occasions to repair this. I knew this was all B.S. I had been a mechanic for over 18 years. On Honda motorcycles believe it or not. The new update for the oil consumption caused my fued mileage to lowere even more.

I brought the car back to honda and the service manager told me he knows and his hummer gets about the same gas milage as the Accord. The funny thing is after the recall its eating more gas, the gears are holding out longer, it reves higher before swithching to the next gears. I told the service manager and he infored me that i was not the only person to complain, so then why do this recall? I have my tire pressure at 35 and all tires with nitrogen. I'm going to change my oil this week to amzoil fully synthetic 5w-20w and try out knn air filter not cold air intake.

I was also thinking of trying out a chip so if anyone knows of a good chip let me know. I wanted to try gforcechip.

I have a 2008 Accord EX, and since I got it about 15 months ago, Ive never had 'REALLY good' mileage.. All of my driving is 50/50 between city and highway, but if I had to give the edge, I would say I do a little more highway driving. On the average, Ive never gotten really more than 10L/100 KM (about 650 to 700KM per tank fillup (70L tank)).. Ive even driven from Toronto to Montreal, all highway, no stop @ 115-120 KM and still got the same mileage.. Ive overinflated my tires (40Kpa), I shift my car into neutral when lifting my foot off the gas to cruise and it makes no difference.. The car has about 50K on it and nothing has changed.. Any assistance would be welcome. Thanks

Have you ever considered that maybe your driving is the problem? Pay attention to the fine print on the sticker: "Your mileage may vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle".

In fact, the sticker on my new 2008 Accord, below the "HIGHWAY MPG: 25 MPG", explicitly stated in smaller print: "Expected mpg for most drivers is 20 to 30". PLEASE examine your personal driving habits before blaming the vehicle. A heavy foot on the pedal is one of the most common causes for poor gas mileage. So does idling... if you're sitting at a stoplight or stop sign, you're effectively getting 0 mpg. If you're going to be idling for more than 30 seconds or so at a stoplight, consider turning your engine off. The little bit of engine wear is much less costly than the fuel saved. And an idling engine is not running at peak temperature, which causes fuel residue to condense on cylinder walls, resulting in damage. It is estimated that every single day, Americans waste 3.8 million gallons of gas simply by idling.

In addition, make sure your tires are properly inflated (improperly inflated tires consume 2 to 3% of your mpg), make sure your air filter is clean (a clogged air filter can cost you 10% of your mpg), remove unnecessary weight (every extra 100 pounds costs you 1 to 2%, so get those golf clubs you're not using out of the trunk!) If you've got a bike rack on your roof that you're not using, remove it to make your car more aerodynamic. Above 35 mph, roll up your windows and use the air conditioning... the extra drag caused by keeping your windows down at high speed costs you more than running the A/C.

We traded our 05 Avalanche in at Katy Honda for a car that is advertised as getting 19 in town, we average in town 13.8 to 14.2 and hwy is around 22 to 23 mpg. Our Chevy got 15.5 in town. The front seat track broke at 1100 miles and was in the shop 3 times for a repair. the seat still wobbles and moves around. The service manager at Katy Honda told us that they could not fix it and and we would have to live with it. We have rear end rattles that are so loud you cannot think. it has been in the shop 3 times and still we have the rattles, now the dash rattles. The car in ECO mode gets stuck and will not go back to run on all 6 cylinders. This has been complained about 4 times the service manager stated they could not find the problem in the computer but it is a known problem. The seats will kill your back and the active head rest forces your head forward which is uncomfortable, The highway noise at 70 mph is very loud and is such that you have trouble having a conversation. The radio has limited volume and is very average for sound,

This Honda Accord is the worst car we have ever owned.out of 38 cars, My 95 BMW 525 gets 19 in town mileage and 28 mpg at 90 mph on highway. We have wrote numerous certified mail sent letters to Honda and spoke to there customer service jerk, they have offered no solutions, We have filed under the Texas Lemon Law to get rid of this harsh riding, back breaking, rattle trap gas guzzler. We have since purchased a BMW 335 i and an Audi a6 both are a much better car, we bought our daughter a VW Passat and it is a fantastic riding car and much quieter than the Honda. One more issue that has sprung up on the Honda, when braking the wheels shimmy now,Hey HONDA OF KATY>I have unsold 37 individuals on Honda's they purchased other cars>>you suck to deal with and a pain in the Ass>>save yourself a headache>>don't buy an ACCORD>>>13.8 Miles per gallon>>

Man a fuel efficient vehicle they advertise. This car gets the almost the same mileage as my 98 explorer awd v8 (got 16mpg). The Honda gets a little over 19mpg. Ive timed lights so i don't half to stop. I cruise at 65mph set cruise, checked tire pressure. This car really sucks! Reliability the eats your wallet for gas money. There window stickers are gaff. What a scam they should fix the problem or fix your sticker. This is false advertisement. I called Honda they said humidity, heat, moisture all takes a factor. I stated my friend has a 98 accord gets 28 out of his 4 cyl. I said you either took a leap backwards or someone discovered a problem too expensive to fix and to compensate with added more fuel. Also on first start up idle drives to 1500 rpm. My vw used to do that but, took 156k before so. Oh by the way on the 08 accord check the left corner on the truck in the crease for paint peeling. Its one of those quiet recalls.

Honda Accord EX 4 cyl. 2.4 automatic. Bought new, now have 2000KM . Gas mileage is much worse than expected or listed in Can. Government publication or in Honda brochure or on their window sticker in showroom. It was listed at 6.4 l/100 km 43 mi/can. Gal on highway. I have measured it in highway driving at over 8 l/100km. About 17 or 18 mi/gal(US); mixed highway/city driving, 12.5 l/100km.

Very significant difference and disappointing given that I traded in a 2003 Camry that gave me exactly 6.4 l/100 km consistently in highway driving. Dealer told me "You got what you bought"

Anyone have same problem with a better resolution/

We just purchased a 2008 Accord EX-L 2.4L I4, It's a gas pig. We've always got as good as or better gas mileage, than what was advertised, on our previous vehicles. I just sold a 2002 Malibu that had over 150,000 miles and we were still getting 23/29 mpg.

This is the first Honda I've ever bought and it will be my last. We just put several hundred miles on the car this past weekend, mostly interstate, and we got around 23 mpg.

Their advertised mileage is 31 mpg! I don't see how, unless they tested it going downhill with the engine off. SOMETHING SMELLS FISHY!!!!!

What is going on with the '08 Accord EX-L? I am getting the city rated fuel economy, but doing it on the highway. Average highway mileage is 23 -25 mpg. I don't even want to talk about city mileage. Lets just say I can watch the needle on the gas gauge move as I drive in town. Fun fun!! Seems quite a long way from the 31 mpg rated Honda put on the car. I have made two complaints to the dealer, but have got a song and dance that is it the fuel, not the car. Baloney!! Somethings wrong, but I am just not smart enough to figure it out yet and the dealers don't know any better. Anyone else got any answers yet?

P.S. At present, 5400 miles on the car. If I don't find an answer soon, I am going to cut my loses and trade the car for a Nissan or Toyota.
