Congrats on the new purchase. Your mileage could be due to any number of things, so I’m wildly speculating here. My best guess would be to give it time, because your engine is brand new and not broken in yet. A few thousand miles under the belt and your mileage should improve.

Also it could be that you need to get used to the new car – anytime I get a new car I have to get a feel for what works and what doesn’t in the mileage area – takes some getting used to. Perhaps you aren’t getting into 3cylinder mode very often? The VCM is the main reason that the Accord is able to get such a strong EPA highway rating, considering it’s packing 268 HP.

I purchased an EX-L V6 Honda Accord 3 weeks ago. I currently have 889 miles on it. I took a trip this past week-end on I-35 from Oklahoma to Kansas and back. Total miles driven was 590 miles at 70 MPH. I was under the impression this car would get between 29 MPG on the highway. I was disappointed with the gas milage as I only averaged 26 MPG. The 2001 Volvo S80 T-6 I had prior to getting this car was rated for 26 MPG on the Highway and it would get 28 MPG at 70 MPH. This new Accord is rated for 29 on the Highway and gets 26 MPG.

What gives? Is this 2008 Accord v-6 not capable of getting 29 MPG on the Interstate?

the new V6 gets a half liter more, moving up to a 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 engine with 273 HP at 6,200 rpm and 250 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm with a 5-speed slushbox. The new engine also introduces Honda’s next-gen Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology to give the new Accord four-door a purported EPA City/Highway fuel economy of 19/29 mpg.
