WOW, amazing. We are struggling to get that from our 2.2 diesel let alone a 2.4 petrol. We've found that where you buy your fuel seems to make a difference.

Doing the same runs at the same speeds first time round we were getting 48.9 changed to a cheaper diesel when we next fuelled up and we were getting 45. Gone back to the more expensive diesel and we are getting back up to 48.9 again.

Amazing MPG for a 2.4, but not compared to this.

:D

And nope, that wasn't over 2.5 miles, the trip counter had rolled over during the journey.
 
Both way off from this:

brett,
fairly impressed by that mpg,
how about trying this out. wait till its dark, fire up the accord, remove number plates :ph34r: , drive same 20 miles like you stole it,
how low can you go?? :)
 
iv tried it 8 mpg lol.
vtec in every gear up to the speed limit.
 
Paul it was on the flat lol but i no where your coming from
 
Good effort! I managed that over 15 miles from Leeds to Huddersfield after work at about 3am in a previous Seat Leon Cupra R.
 
cj haven't seen this yet lets see his comments lol
 
I'm still not convinced this ain't a waking dream he's having as a subliminal revolt to his fuel based treachery :lol:
 
well that's what it said on the trip so im going with that.
ill put up some more readings as i drive them lol
 
I wanna see VPP not VPD on the fuel receipts - dated, time stamped and with GPS confirmed photo's ;).
