How many MPG does a 1997 4-Door Honda Accord LX with a 4 cylinder engine get?

If it is an automatic it gets 30 mpg.

I average 31 to 33 mpg with our 1996 Accord LX wagon with stick shift. 31 in the winter and 33 in the summer.This is commuting 35 miles to work on mixed rural highways and small towns. No interstate and no city or bumper to bumper traffic.I also use Mobil 1 0W30 oil and drive moderately [only occasionally stepping on the gas to pass someone etc.]

Depends on how you use the gas pedal and the overall mechanical shape of the car.You should get 25/26 in town and around 30 to 35 on the hi-way.I drive to Michigan occasionally with one refill in Georgia (half way point)The car has a 14.7 gallon tank.If I speed(80 mph+)I used 38 gallons to go 1,056 miles,if I drive the limit (70 mph) 33 to 34 gallons.By the way, 0w30 oil is not what this vehicle calls for,5w30 is right on the fill cap for a reason! I run Royal Purple or Mobil One.Good Luck
