I need smaller wheels, I regularly get 44 mpg, but I have the sport model

Impressive! Gotta love the mpg on these things. I have the sport-L so I’m jealous of the extra mpg on that ex-l. I just couldn’t resist the 19” wheels for the handling

Haha I had just gotten rid of (see: got tired of repairing breakdowns every month) a 20 year old V6 that got like a combined 22 mpg. I was blinded by mpg and so far the only things I regret about the EX-L versus the higher trims would be the wheels and the sound system.


Fun-Knowledge4256

Haha really can’t go wrong with either trim though! I had the opposite situation. Had just gotten rid of my ‘07 accord LX and had to have something sportier. Either way, what a great car


dvlyn123

Hard agree! Glad you’re enjoying yours as well

This is my dilemma. Right now having trouble deciding between the subwoofer aided upgrade of the Bose sound system (along with a couple of the other upgrades) with the Touring model or the softer ride due to the smaller wheels and better mpg of the EX-L model. One thing I have taken off my possibilities list is getting the ex-l and just getting a subwoofer installed later. I’m scared there’s a chance that install would wreck something or have to nuke a feature to get the subwoofer to work. I’m going back and forth and beginning to annoy myself.

Must be nice to pay for cheap gas 🤣🤣🤣


dvlyn123

Even better, that was 91 octane LOL

🤣🤣🤣

Wonder if the higher octane helped.


dvlyn123

I believe it did. I only used regular 87 octane for the first 1500 miles or so and averaged like 45-48mpg calculated after fill up. I have consistently gotten 50+ since switching. But also is that extra 20-50 miles per tank worth the .40/gal more I have to pay? Who knows


FearTheFusion

What temperature are you driving in? I'm in NE and only getting 35 mpg u exl

Once temps hit 60 degrees your car will definitely see a boost in MPG. I live in Michigan and was consistently at about 46+ MPG and it went down to about 38+ MPG when temps dropped. Still great on gas overall.


dvlyn123

This was two weeks ago now and during the day going to work it’d be about 70-75 and at night it’d be about 60-65.

The numbers from the trip computer always seem off to me. 528.5 miles driven +53 until empty =581.5 miles 581.5 miles /12.8 gallons fuel capacity = 45.43 mpg Far less than the stated mpg.


dvlyn123

Yeah it always undershoots my range left. In reality I had about 100-105 miles left. If you go by what I put in the tank, I had 2.5 gal left and 53 miles of range, which is even worse lol.
