My 2002 Accord 4 cylinder got about 24 city and 29 highway, I now have a
2005 Accord 4 cylinder which gets about 27 city and 32 highway.

My 2005 Accord v6 gets very similar numbers.

2003 4 cyl automatic = 29 mpg combined city/highway (about 50/50), drops to
27 mpg in winter.

2004 accord 4-cylinder EX w/auto. transmission purchased 3/04. 13,000
miles on it so far. In suburbia driving, we got:

25.69 MPG in 2004
25.07 MPG so far in 2005

location: Minneapolis

rpm

Based on the replies here, you are probably driving like 100 mph on the
highway to get this kind of low gas mileage.

I had to drive thru a couple of small cities on the trip. I guess if I had
not spent any time at any stop signs or traffic lights--my mileage would
have been much better. I geneally drive about 5 mph above the posted speed
limit.

Have you checked your tire pressure?
