2005 Diesel Accord .... 92 mpg!
When would we see this Accord Stateside?? Perhaps when low sulfur
diesel becomes available in 2006? (The MPG will be somewhat lower here, as the US gallon is slightly smaller than the Imperial one......but still impressive fuel economy!). Honda's new Accord 2.2 i-CTDi Sport has this week set no fewer than 19 world speed records and achieved 3.07 litres / 100 km (92 mpg) fuel economy to boot. British racing driver Robin Liddell and freelance journalist Iain Robertson were part of the European record-setting team. http://www.carpages.co.uk/honda/hond...echo=137548138 |

I wonder what the other one got. Over a 419 mile run, that is pretty impressive, if it is similar to what the other one got. Over a 30 mile stretch, I got 65 in my Honda Civic Hybrid in rush hour traffic at ~45 mph. What's the altitude at Papenburg? My airport chart shows 3 meters compared to 461 for Wiesbaden, so that adds to the load. 3.07l/100km == 92 imp mpg == 76 US mpg http://www.tdiclub.com/misc/conversions.html -- --- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8-122.5 |

It's rated at a combined 5.4 L/100 km (euro cycle). That's 43.5 miles per US gallon. About 39 miles/gasoline gallon equivalent (yes, this is an actual metric used to equate energy and pretty much greenhouse gases!). The 92 mpg is Imperial Gallons (20% greater than US gallons), and of course it was on some specially tailored route to give inflated values. Typically excellent, but it loses the headline value, doesn't it? http://www.honda.co.uk/cars/newcars/specification. jsp? yearId=2004&modelId=10410&bodyId=10730&bodyDescrip tion=Saloon&engi neId=&badgeId=&transmissionId=&colourId=&colourAll ocationId=&wheel PartNo=&optionType=spec |
