MPG????

Bought this car and absolutely loved it. I have a 120 mile round trip commute in Chicago traffic. Much like a review that I read here, I was getting about 49mpg for the first couple of months. For the last 3 months I’m averaging right around 36mpg. Driving the same roads at the same speeds. ~13mpg makes a huge difference when you drive 600 miles per week. That’s less miles per gallon than the non-hybrid Accord. The worst thing is that I love the car. Comfortable, great ride, for a hybrid acceleration is outstanding, but you can get all of that with a regular Accord. Went to the dealer, they said everything looks fine. No issues. I emailed Honda and have not heard back... so unbelievably disappointing..

Just bought my 2018 Accord Hybrid Touring edition three weeks ago so still learning more about it. Great car and very happy so far. Seems smoother and more quiet than my 2014 model. Like the sound system and support for Android Auto - just wish Android Auto didn't require use of an old-fashion cable. Love the wireless phone charging - works great with my Samsung S9+ - even with the case on. Love the adaptive cruise control combined with the lane-keeping driver assist - have experimented on the highway and the car will pretty much drive itself using those two technologies. Heated rear seats is also a plus. Remote engine start is nice on hot days. The ability to update the native Honda navigation maps (for free) is nice - I just updated to the 2019 Garmin maps. I have noticed the Garmin-based navigation system is still nowhere as good as Google Maps. There should be a USB charging port for the rear seat - that is a glaring miss by Honda. Was on the phone with Honda Customer Service yesterday to report back they need to support more than 2000 contacts in their Bluetooth/syncing process which then enables hands-free calling and texting. If you have 5000+ contacts like most sales people, that's a showstopper issue for use of native Honda hands-free calling/texting. Meaning Android Auto is then the only solution and that requires an old-fashioned USB cable - so was disappointed to find out about that limitation as I thought I was getting away from cables... December 2020 and can report I still really like this car - just noticed I got an average of 47 MPG on my last tank (around town driving) which I think is amazing considering the size of the car. June of 2022 and can report we still really like this car. Mileage in all weather other than the cold winter months continues to average 45-47 around town. This has become more important as gas prices have risen so much. A bit less in the cold months - assume this is just based on battery efficiency as it is consistent with other hybrids I've owned. Ride is quiet and refined. Love the full-size trunk so no compromise for a hybrid as with previous models I've owned. This is my update after my four year anniversary with this car. We've been thrilled with this car as it hasn't required a single trip for maintenance aside from normal oil changes. Continue to enjoy the adaptive cruise control, lane assist, heated seats, very large trunk and outstanding gas mileage - we average about 44-45 MPG around town - slightly lower in very cold weather. Have been very happy with this car. Five year update - still very happy. Found a great deal on new Honda sport wheels so went ahead and swapped out the wheels at the same time putting on new tires. Expected mileage to go down of course. And indeed, mileage went from averaging 44-45 around town to 40 or so but much prefer the look so happy to make the mileage sacrifice which provides a new look after five years - a lot less than buying a new car! Year 6 update: Still very happy with this car - the only thing I updated this year is I tried using a Motorola device to enable wireless Android Auto - which did work fine. However over time I went back to using the USB cable as I found it helpful to keep my phone visible while fast-charging on the cable vs trickle/slow charging sitting in the wireless charging station. No maintenance issues yet on 6th year anniversary in Dec of 2023...

I’ve been so impressed with the mpg on eco mode- consistently 48 to 52mpg. The design is slick both inside and outside; a lot of latest technologies- Honda Sensing, HUD, pretty much everything as positively reviewed by many auto journalists.

city mileage disappoints

(keep in mind that listed mileage is probably made with 100% gasoline and we all use 10% ethanol which has 4% less energy. At 50 mpg this is 2 mpg less than with real gasoline) with 70 mph freeway driving, i get 43 to 47 mpg. with 55 mpg local road driving, i get 45-47 mpg. BUT WITH CITY DRIVING, I CONSISTANTLY GET ABOUT 37 MPG. this is far from the 47 mpg that one is supposed to get.

Accord Hybrid-best car I’ve owned!

We bought the Accord Hybrid for the safety and assisted driving features. Driving on a freeway in congested traffic is easy now! The Honda Hybrid pretty much drives itself, and makes stop and go highway traffic a breeze! We also drove our old Honda Accord 300,000 miles without a problem, and sold it for a good amount too! Can’t beat ‘em!
