I would like to know the idea fuel consumption for a Honda Accord i-vtec 2 liters petrol on 17 inch alloys (2004 model)

mine does between 25-28 mpg combined and in rare case of loads of motorway miles then 32 ish

I that normal or should I get more out of it? I had it serviced and have new filters too

Any Accord owners out here?

if in doubt

Honda petrol engines are not noted for torque or economy.

Normal, I had a 2005 2.0SE on 17s with electric power steering so got a bit more around town as there was no pump to run. High 20s.

My long term average, with a fair amount of motorway/A roads was 32mpg.

You are pretty much in the normal range of what we used to get with our accord.

Sounds about right. I had a 2.4 and used to get 24mpg average with a mix of town and dual carriageway driving. I'd expect the 2 litre to return a bit more but the VTEC's were never the most fuel efficient engines.

I used to drive a 2.4 auto estate and 24 mpg was typical.

About right. We get 27 mpg from our 2007.
32 on the motorway.

No power, and not economical. ☹️

Hi guys, well I had many hondas so I am sure I can say something wright about them, mine is 2.0 i-vtec sport on 16th alloys, 2004 reg, manual gearbox, some of you said that they are not the best for torque and fuel? Do you know any better engines 2.0 from that years? I don't think so, it's far best in class 2.0, 25-27 city, 35-40 motorway, it have similar torque like mine older 2.3 vtec in type v , accord is fine car for every day any trip, it's not kia but not merc, it's car for middle class, fast enough to be scared when some honda psycho owner drives, so arguments like slow and thirsty are just proof about fact what you know about cars and engines, or how many cars did you had smile

Honda fanboy signed up to post just because someone was mean about a 15 year old Accord laugh

OP; your figures seem a little bit down on my experience in 2004 but not much or enough to suggest a broken car. Has it passed an MOT emissions test recently?

You'll get lower economy in the cold but have you tried changing your driving style?

Old school mid sized mid power NASP petrol engines in family cars always did get poor economy, it's why they are now completely extinct and nobody misses them.
