| Honda Accord Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 278-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
Outstanding fuel economy. Regularly exceeds EPA estimates. Recent 100 mile highway trip with no AC produced 37.2 mpg. Unbelievable for V6. |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Excellent fuel economy, 24 around town and up to 36 on the interstate and as high as 38 on two lane roads. I have gotten over 700 miles to a tank on long trips. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Given the size of the car, particularly the interior room, the 30+ highway MPG is impressive. I consider anything over 30 highway to be economical enough for me. Another benefit is that around-town mileage is still decent, 26-27 mpg. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 271-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Too soon to tell, but past experience has shown strong mpg even with a 6cyl - definitely above 20 with a lot of town/city driving. |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
with only 1700 miles on the odometer getting 27-30 mpg combined drivinhg |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Car never feels underpowered - in fact will kick from a green light with the best out there, yet return 30 mpg average. Can drive all day for $20 |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Good fuel economy for excellent powerful engine |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Fuel economy is similar to smaller engines -- while providing the power of larger engines. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
22 city 31 highway rating. At sustained 80 mph without drafting using cruise control the Accord maintained 28 mpg. Large tank allows one to go over 400 miles on a tank |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Almost provides fuel economy of 4 cylinder without 4 cylinder drawbacks. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Still too new to adequately guage that - rated at 28 mph highway w/ REGULAR grade fuel. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
not bad.. getting just under 10 litres/100km city. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Much better than my honda van (duhhh)! |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I drive with a relatively heavy foot, and yet still manage about 27-28 miles per gallon combined. A really great feature of the Accord is its large 18.5 gallon fuel tank, which easily allows for 500+ miles per tank. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Decent fuel economy for a mid-size sedan. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
about 27-28 mpg in Pittsburgh(hills and mountains) |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 253-horsepower 3.0L V6 Hybrid 5-speed automatic FWD |
I have only put 1600 miles on it with about 900 of it highway miles at 70 - 80 MPH. To date I have 32 mpg combined. During my recent 700 mile round trip to Rochester NY, I got slightly over 34mpg. Not a Prius, however, much more comfy and with a V6! |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
It is very good for a car of its size. Highway mileage has been a best of high thirties and one instance of 42 mpg. Typical highway mpg at 80mph is 32 to 33. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Ok Not but would like better |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Around 30 MPG on a trip---one of the best for full size car. Got 36 MPG on a round trip to Michigan. Drove at less than 70 MPH |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
For a non-hybrid, and a mid-sized sedan, the fuel economy is very good. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Is pretty good for a car in its class. Probably no better than the Camry, but certainly better than the Aura, which I also had been seriously considering. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Gas mileage is better than last car but was not not a major consideration in buying car. Gas mileage average is 20 city, 28 highway. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 253-horsepower 3.0L V6 Hybrid 5-speed automatic FWD |
Great gas mileage, consistently around 30MPG in 85% city driving. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 253-horsepower 3.0L V6 Hybrid 5-speed automatic FWD |
The Accord Hybrid gets better gas mileage than TSX. The Accord averages almost 30 MPG in 85% city driving. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The engine manages to get decent fuel economy, while still managing to provide the right amount of power so the car doesnt feel slow and sluggish. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Never under 30 mpg with my 4-cylinder automatic. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
I have gotten over 35 mpg on the highway. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Consistent 32 MPG no matter how hard or conservative I drive it!! |
| 2006 | 2dr Coupe 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
I have achieved about 26MPG in 85% city driving and about 32MPG in 85% highway. Quite good for a car with a six cylinder engine |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The fuel economy was very good considering the stop & go traffic of Phoenix as well as using the A/C extensively in the summer. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
My Accord averages 32 mpg and has achieved as high as 34 mpg. This is exceptional for a car of this size and comfort. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
I average 34 mpg on interstate @ 79 mph! |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
I average about 28 mpg, which is great for a mid size sedan. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L V6 Hybrid 5-speed automatic FWD |
Power with the ability to obtain high fuel mileage is a nice combination. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L V6 Hybrid 5-speed automatic FWD |
I get around 27-29 MPG in the city and 32-45 MPG on the highway. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Good EPA mileage estimates. |

It is very good for a car its size. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Decent mileage for a 4cyl with adequate pep. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Averages 25 mpg with plenty of power and room for 4 comfortably |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
All the Accords I have owned have beat the highway EPA estimates. This Accord with the V6 is rated at 30 mpg. On my last trip to St. Louis I got 32 mpg with 4 passengers and driving around 75 mph. Hard to beat in a mid-sized sedan. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
30-34 highway miles per gallon is pretty good for a car of its size. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Excellent mileage for a 240 hp V6. Drove it round trip from Dallas to Florence, Kentucky and averaged 30.2 mpg with an average speed of around 75 mph. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
2.4L provides outstanding economy given size/weight of vehicle. Average 30MPG in over 50,000 miles. |
| 2003 | 2dr Coupe 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
I chose the more powerful engine so I could be getting better MPG if I went witha smaller motor but my fuel economy is still very good |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
If driving conservatively, I get ~33 mpg highway |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
getting 24 city and 35 pure hwy @ 75+ mph |
| 2003 | 2dr Coupe 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Pretty good over all, I've gotten as much as 35-36 MGP on a long highway trip, 29 - 31 around outer suburbia where I commute. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 150-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Average 18-20 mpg for mix city and highway (50/50) driving. I was expecting more of 24-26 but it seems Honda increase size gave more comfort at expense of bad fuel. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
this 8th gen accord is getting about 20-22 mpg; my 7th gen accord would typically average about 22-24 |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
22.5 to 23 mpg is pretty bad, but the power is great. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
The Accord has gained enough weight that their engines no longer return the exceptional MPGs of the preivous model. Honda refuses has no 6 gear transmissions which should help. Fuel economy is average at best. Would never achieve 40mpg as I did before. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The highway fuel economy is very good (30+ mpg). The city fuel economy leaves a bit to be desired (teens). |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
kills too much gas. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Not quite as good as the sticker suggests if you drive it like a normal person. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
the V-6 only gets 18-19 MPH around town, though this is offset by more power. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Honda struggles to get 18 in the city (usually gets between 14-18), but highway it is pretty good for a V6 and can get between 26-30 mpg. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Low city mileage particularly with A/C (16 mpg). Mediocre hwy mileage at 22/23. |
| 2000 | 2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Due to the terrible 4spd auto, which (at 244k miles) is original, mileage is decreasing as the planetary gears get fouled with clutch deterioration. |
