2005 Accord LX Sedan 2.4 5MT with 150k miles.
Tire pressure currently set at 48 PSI
This is all with 10% ethanol
THIS IS ALL USING 10% ETHANOL GAS
Vehicle is retired because i sold it and got a v6 6mt sedan.
Fuel-up technique:
Go to same gas station when possible, same pump, same orientation, time of day varies but usually around 4:30-5:00 PM, filled up when tank has 3.5-4 gallons remaining out of 17.1, as of lately new technique to fill 10 gallons then switch to slowest fill rate for auto-stop.
Driving style:
Beneficial to gas mileage:
Follow speed limits closely but slightly exceed them if they are lower than ideal speed, no warm-up idling, engine shut off if in drive thru's, lights off except in dark or rain, high throttle low RPM acceleration, use 5th gear down to about 32mph depending on need for acceleration, do not accelerate up to red lights, engine shut off for long lights or traffic in parking lot, very little air-con use, very little heater use when warming up, radio/electric accessories off most of time, coast in neutral during downhill, keep engine in deceleration fuel cutoff when decelerating, very little cruise control use.
Not beneficial to gas mileage:
No tailgating or drafting, no running stop signs(gas is cheaper than a ticket), when mad i accelerate hard, use the engine's rev limiter as a horn, and stay in lower gears. If people are walking by closely i sometimes show-off a little by using high throttle so they can hear the intake noise(it has turned heads) even if i need to slow down, rev-matching engine when downshifting instead of letting clutch friction spin up the engine, if someone pisses me off by going really slow or pulling out in front of me and not speeding up i will accelerate hard if they turn, if someone revs their engine i rev mine too, if i need to accelerate while already moving sometimes i just use full throttle in a high gear which does not rely on oxygen sensors for fuel/air ratio.
Mods: Removed intake resonator and drained half the windshield wiper fluid for about 11 lbs off the front of the car. Added foam grille blocker that blocks about 70% of the lower grille, magnaflow universal muffler for about 10 lbs off the back of the car.
