suprised at MPG

[Vikas]

From 30 to 25 on two cars and 22 to 18 on van

Are you stuck with E10 gas where you live? E10 gas leads to lower MPG than real gasoline.

Frankly i have no idea.. this cars had mid-grade gas ran through it for the better part of the past year.

Nothing wrong with the mpg. It gets what it gets with your driving route. It's a V6.

 

[OtisBlkR1]

That sounds about right for a V6? I don't think being a Honda magically makes get better gas mileage. [/quote


it should ! by gosh i should be able to put a Honda sticker on just about anything and instantly get better miliage

With your driving patterns and this being winter, that mileage is to be expected. Take it for a long 200 mile drive on highway and keep it under 70 mph. Fill the tank just before the trip and then top it off at the end of the 200 miles and do the computation. If you get low twenties, then you definitely have a problem. But if you get high twenties or barely thirties, then your car is running in perfect shape. I suspect you will be pleasantly surprised.

I typically lose 1-1.5 MPG in winter -- on every vehicle in the past several years. That's mixed-city driving. We pretty much have E10 everywhere -- even though they do not have to tell you (I hate that!). At least in IA, you know what you're getting.
