But you need to compare the equivalent hybrid - I'll bet the hybrid Accord gets a lot better mileage than a regular Accord...doma said:I just can't believe in hybrids. Seems if they were engineered correctly they'd all be doing 90 MPG. *sigh*
because that's the number that was bandied about for the longest time before the actual cars started showing up with 27 on the window stickerdoma said:>the elise only gets 27 highway
Really?
Hows come everywhere I read the Elise gets 37mpg highway? Even in this very issue of Popular Science.
wow--I usually only get to 200 when my light comes ondoma said:
However, I was beleiving it since I zero the trip meter at every fueling and often end up at the gas station with >300 miles on the trip. *shrug* Maybe my odo is not counting off the miles correctly?

I think that's what the Rover-engined Elise got.doma said:Hows come everywhere I read the Elise gets 37mpg highway? Even in this very issue of Popular Science.

How much time do you spend in the high speed cams? I have been averaging 30 mpg for both city and highway.atyclb said:wow--I usually only get to 200 when my light comes on

That will have been quoted in imperial gallons, they are larger than US gallons...quote:

and what is the speed at 3K in 6th???khamai said:You can get 35+ mpg on the highway... the trick is stay under 3000 rpm and cruise in 6th gear.
If you're like me you've got no self control and you end up getting 30 or less!![]()

IMHO, this is the best application of hybrid technology yet, much better than the Escape or the Prius! More power and better mileage! I'd actually consider this car, and I've never found anything even remotely desireable about Honda products before.ivan1 said:and it is faster 0-60
the Accord Hybrid Sedan provides even more power - 255 hp versus 240hp in the regular Accord V-6 Sedan - while improving fuel efficiency to an estimated 30 mpg city / 37 highway - better than virtually all 4-cylinder mid-sized sedans
