The first half of this tank of gas, I was averaging 65 mpg. The second half was 100% driving on the freeway. Posted speed limits of 60, 65 and 75. I drove mostly between 60 mph and 65 mph, occasionally hitting 70 mph. This is my final reading. I averaged 60 mpg after 660 miles of driving.

I drive only in ECON mode. My ac js set at 60. In Econ mode, the ac is not as cold as in normal mode. When I hypermile, I turn off the ac any time I feel I can live without it. Also, I almost always run my ac only at 60. I never chose any other number because at 60 in econ mode, the ac is dialed...

As of today, I am averaging 65 mpg after 372 miles. This is 50% city and 50% highway with a top speed of about 60 mph. My tires are set at 36 psi. I do not know if the LiFePO4 battery is making it easier for me to maintain this mpg, but I will see as time goes by I still have many months...

Very correct. The new battery weighs 20.8 lbs. The oem battery weighs 27.2 lbs. I bought the battery from a seller on alibaba. They shipped the battery and it was held by US customs for inspection for some days or say more than a week before it was released. Yes, my car did not come with a...

This what I wrote on my Accord blog and it answers your question. "I paid $345.XX for the battery. That includes a whopping $150 for shipping!!! The Battery itself was about $160 and then they added tax and shipping. I was ok paying the total amount of $345.XX."

This is the odometer of the guy who bought the LifePO4 battery and claimed that after he installed it, he started getting consistently high mpg numbers. Look at the pictures of his odometer. This thread is my own experiment to see if I will get the same results after installing the LiFePO4...

I am not a soothsayer who sees the future, but I can tell you that I know their answer. They will say NO! So, I am just hoping the battery does not burn down my car. I plan to keep the battery in my car for a while until I atleast draw a conclusion from my experiment if the battery helps to...

Honestly, I do not know for sure, but I can tell you that if my car burns down I will file it on my insurance immediately. And I will hope they pay to get the car replaced.

Try this link to my thread on the Honda Accord forum. You will see the pictures there also. https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/petitfrereaccords-2024-accord-hybrid-maintenance-upgrades-adventure-and-more.570743/page-14

Noooooooooo. I am not claiming anything at all. This is an experiment I am doing. I will draw conclusion months from today. EXPERIMENT: I am trying to see if using the LiFePO4 battery will help me consistently get over 65 mpg in city driving. With the oem normal lead acid battery, I do get 55...

Welcome and thank you. Now you are speaking my language. Some people here do not believe that we can get over 60 mpg in our Accord hybrid. They say what proof do we have and they do not believe it. Thank you for sharing that you also get over 60 mpg many times. I do believe you because I do get...

You know the US is slow to adopt new technology. We have a very high bar for safety and technology. Products have to go through very tough processes and tough regulatory bodies before they can be approved for mass use in the country. Some people have to give up during the process while some...

I strongly disagree. You may consider it as a guess, but it is a very good guess. On the Accord forum, they have argued a lot about this and have concluded that when they calculate it at the pump, most often the difference is off by 1 or sometimes 2. That means for my best tank of gas where I...

Honda and other hybrid OEMs know that some of these cars are capable of gaining significant fuel efficiency. Sadly, the way cars are built now with many options and safety features, they are getting too heavy to benefit from getting better mpg. Do you know that in the Toyota Camry lineup the...

To show proof online these days, you need a video or a picture. The picture I posted shows the number of miles driven and the mpg over those miles. I will be surprised if you argue that because I am sure many other people on here understand it. Maybe you just want to insist you do not understand...
