Honda Accord MPG Issue by theadeola: 7:10am On Jul 16, 2023 |
Hi house. My 2008 Honda Accord got me 30.8 mpg on the highway but only 10mpg in city driving. I think the difference is too much. Pls what can be the issue? Scanned the car, no codes. |
Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by Raysleek: 7:42am On Jul 16, 2023 |
theadeola:Its perfectly OK. On the highway you can cover almost 100 miles km an hour with the engine running at low rpm and the car working at highest gear ratio. But in city driving very frequently distance is covered with more engine rpm and a lot of start and stops |

Raysleek: 10mpg in city driving is NOT perfectly okay. theadeola: Do you have a check engine light on? If you do, scan and post codes, you'd also need to consider running a live data scan. Check your whee alignment, intake air filter, plugs, injector, fuel pump filter, and your thermostat is okay. If you stay in a city that has very terrible traffic like Lagos, your car may be experiencing such issues. 2 Likes |

kingreign:The first right question to ask is how long did he drive in the city driving. How many miles did he cover in the city driving. Then you can compare the mpg and the mph |
Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by kingreign(m): 8:18am On Jul 16, 2023 |
Raysleek: It's NOT perfectly okay sir. He isn't driving a Toyota Land cruiser V8 or a G63AMG. That MPG are for such trucks. Even a land cruiser does slightly better than that. |

Raysleek: His driving habits may matter if he jackrabbit, or engage in some random terrible driving, it can happen. |
Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by Raysleek: 8:25am On Jul 16, 2023 |
kingreign:Some city driving can take 1 hour or 30 mins for 1 km. We are in Nigeria our in city driving is quite slow and filled with lots of start stops. Ok what if he stays in ikorodu or a place with unbarred roads. So many factors are present. Even fuel quality. |

kingreign: What we need to know is his average MPH in town. I believe honda vehicles have this information in their trip meter. Without it, there's no way of knowing if 10mpg is okay or not. |
Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by theadeola: 4:22pm On Jul 16, 2023 |
kingreign: I don't stay in Lagos. The city mpg was gotten in osogbo. I recently changed my plugs and air filter, and my thermostat is present. I also did my alignment recently, so that is also out. I'll check the fuel pump filter and injectors. A vtc code came on recently, but that's after I got 30.8mpg on highway driving, so I am not sure if that is the cause of the bad city mpg. |
Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by theadeola: 4:24pm On Jul 16, 2023 |
Itsrm: My average mph in town is between 40-45mph. |
Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by theadeola: 4:26pm On Jul 16, 2023 |
Raysleek: I did 29.2 miles in the city, and that took over 3-4 hours with a lot of stops in between. |

kingreign: I don't jackrabbit, but I don't like slow driving. I usually let the car accelerate "naturally", usually no hard acceleration unless needed. |
Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by theadeola: 4:29pm On Jul 16, 2023 |
On another highway trip, I got just over 20mpg, though the road was terrible and filled with quite a bit of bumps and potholes, so I had to slow down more than what I'd consider the usual amount on a highway. The variation is quite frustrating. |
Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by Itsrm(m): 5:00pm On Jul 16, 2023 |
theadeola: Not realistic. You mean you do an average of 60-72km/hr within town? If this is true then your gas mileage is beyond ridiculous. Scan and cross reference the codes you get with driveaccord.net on Google. If you get P0024 for instance, type P0024 driveaccord.net on your Google search bar and read how people who have had the issue before you have solved it. Good luck 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by Raysleek: 5:06pm On Jul 16, 2023 |
theadeola:That's 7.5mph average speed. Thats 12km/h 10mpg means 3 gallons for 4hours. About 12 litres for 3-4hours drive. So it's quite OK to me |
Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by Itsrm(m): 5:09pm On Jul 16, 2023 |
Raysleek: This was why I was saying you can't say for sure that anyone has fuel consumption issues if you don't know their average speed. 10mpg at 7.5mph is not bad. |
Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by theadeola: 6:06pm On Jul 16, 2023 |
Itsrm: I usually move fast, like I said earlier. Not too spirited, but car accelerates fine and fast. The only code I got was P0011, and I've cleaned the vtc filter still the code persists. No adverse driving performance. Thank you for the referral |
Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by theadeola: 6:09pm On Jul 16, 2023 |

Itsrm:in Nigeria we can say from experience. Some people spend 30 minutes driving from their house to the express on mud roads . The onus is once your highway driving mpg calculation is okay then why should the city driving mpg calculation be wrong? This recent fuel prices is causing people a lot of stress. |

Re: Honda Accord MPG Issue by theadeola: 10:51pm On Jul 16, 2023 |
Raysleek: Nah my experience you just describe. From my house to main road is just over 4km, but it will take you at least 25 minutes on a day you're fast. And with that speed, your silencer will surely see shege banza. |
