Yeah but I don't think the 6th gen Accords with the big 2.3L are quite as efficient. I know for my car with the 5sp it only gets good gas mileage if you really pamper the car. On the highway I get pretty decent, but that's because of the gear ratios. I also have to downshift just to get up a hill if I'm below 80....again, because of the gear ratios. The gears are way too long causing the incessant need for more gas and higher revs.

I find the older Accords to feel more zippy without quite so much gas.

I don't know about the 6th gen Autos.

With the A/C on, of course, it's just gas gas gas gas gas to even start moving. :o
