What I want to know is if you're working your ass off to achieve that 22mpg figure because if you are, then my suggestion to you is to give the car a good tuneup instead of throwing out things like the seats and sound deadening... Even if you have the 2.2L automatic VTEC Accord, with a little effort (not even engine off coasting or other hypermiling techniques) you should be able to average 26mpg assuming you do 45% highway 55% city driving..
No im 100% city, delivering
the 22mpg is from a long time ago, im getting about 20 now
no vtech, 2.2L
I almost never use a/c, just roll down my 1 window

Cant do EOC b/c im in an auto
