I see this has been answered. Thanks @RocketsFan.

However, for the mostly highway trip, they were almost identical. So maybe the accuracy degrades if your tank consists of multiple trips as opposed to just a few.
When I measured it once before I found it was off 0.5 MPG, so I would be happy with 37.5 MPG in Sports mode at 75 MPH.

Today I drove home and back to work in the mid to late morning , 26 km of downtown to suburbia and back. Not rush hour traffic but lots of stops. My Idle Stop engaged quite a bit and I averaged 8.6 litres per 100 km, or 33 miles per imperial gallon or 26 miles per gallon US. I did this Sport Mode and my first fill of medium grade (89 octane) vs the Premium fuel I normally use. My driving style was not overly aggressive, but there were moments….VERY PLEASED!

It's a great car overall!!! Still loving it :-)
I typical get under 7l/100kms going back and forth to work. Interestingly the new ILX is not much better. The TLX SHAWD is definitely a mileage champ.

I went today to visit some friends that are living 50 km away and I got 8.6 l/km round trip on highway at 120 km/h . Pretty good compared with my old 4G , but like I mentioned before the commuting on stop and go traffic is not too great , I would say just a little bit better than 4G.

I hit 40.7mpg over the weekend on 60mph highway speed at night time, minimal braking, 50-60 degree temps.

I know the EPA mileage figures show otherwise, but I agree with you. Our '13 Accord EX (2.4/6MT) is listed at 34 mpg highway, less than the 2.4/CVT. But without really trying at all, it regularly gets 37-38 mpg, and in sustained highway driving (warm weather) it routinely hits 40-42 mpg. The ED 2.4 motor is really a gem (with even more hp in the TLX). In our car, it will go 0-60 in 6.6, yet still return fantastic mileage. Honda engineering!
