Default Speed to drive 2005 Honda Accord for best fuel efficiency?
Generally it is 55mph, but I'm sure it is more car specific. Anyone know what it is for the 2005 Honda Accord?

All depends on your shift points. It's probably a little higher than whatever rpm your car is at when it shifts into your high gear. But you have an Accord. why do you care?

A study in the uk in the 90s stated the most economic speed to drive a car is 57 mph. However as you say its more car specific... funny thing is the least efficent speeds are 30 -40 mph.. according to the same study.Does you car have an onboard computer ??? My sable had yukon do.... it tells you the estimated fuel consumption at the speed you are driving... the sable seems to be greatest at 50 the Yukon at 55-60 . The yukon drinks at 70+ the sable drops to 28 mpg at 70......

Usually between 2000 and 3000 on the tachometer. 55 is a good speed for efficiency.
