Just thought this gas mileage story might be worth noting for some Honda Accord buyers.
I just took my first long ride with this car this past weekend from Houston, Texas to Austin, Texas and back. I used cruise control 99 percent of the time and had 2 adults, 2 teenagers and baggage and air conditioning 100 percent of the time. I locked in the cruise control at about 66 or 67 mph (speed limit said 70) and just stayed mostly in the right lane to allow cars/trucks to pass me. Most of the trip is hilly terrain and weather was sunny and warm and not much wind. Car is in excellent shape.
I was concerned that gas stations would be closed based on news reports earlier so I wanted to be sure to do this trip on one tank of gas tho it turned out gas stations were open. I calculated I got 37.5 mile/gal and I was totally surprised. I'm sure it's not a mistake too. Normally city driving I get around 24 mile/gal.
Off topic, I noticed many times, the large pickup trucks moved over to the right lane only to let the prius, focus or honda civics pass them (guessing they were doing around 75mph or so).
