MPG you get with 2004?
To those with the same engine as mine, that is a 2004 4 cylinder (or any year with the exact same engine) with manual transmission, what is your average MPG? I ask because i feel i'm getting a few MPG less than i should. I get 29, but my 2001 civic got 39. It just seems like to big a difference. Is 29 normal for a four with manual trans, or if not what should i look at as a possible reason? I have 24k miles on it and i replaced the air filter a couple thou ago, and i use mobil 1.

You're lookin pretty much spot on with normal, at least for the 4 drivers who have reported on fueleconomy.com. Try driving more conservative. That might make put you on the high end.

Ok, thanks. I wasn't so much surprised that i am getting only 29 MPG, but that there would be such a big difference between the civic and accord. 10 MPG difference seems like a lot considering they are both 4 cylinder cars, even if the accord does have more HP and is heavier. 10 just seems like a lot.

Well you should also consider the size of the engines also. The heavier accord also has 2.4 liters of displacement while the lighter civic's engine is only 1.7 Liters.
