Hi
I have a 2001 Honda Accord LX 4 cyl, automatic transmission with
160,000 Km or 100,000 miles.It hardly gives me 19 MPG in city and 27 MPG on highway.This is very low for a 4 cyl car. A V6 gives better mileage than this.I am not using air conditioning.
I am using Mobil 1 Synthetic 5 W30.
I flushed the transmission twice. Transmission is silk smooth without any problems.
Changed spark plugs to NGK Iridium plugs.
Changed air filter.
Car has brand new tires.
Changed water pump and timing belt at 142,000 km.
Car runs excellent both in city and highway, even at 160 km/hr on highway.
CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SINCE NEW
All mechanical systems are working fine. Why is it performing so poorly on gas.
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO IMPROVE GAS MILAGE. IS THERE ANY DIAGNOSIS TECHNIQUE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT CAN FIGURE OUT THIS PROBLEM.
Any suggestions/help will be highly appreciated SPECIALLY FROM THOSE HONDA FANS.
