Buy a stick shift. Buy a ScanGauge. You don't need a hybrid- just a manual with over 30mpg stock and a few mods. Of course, driving habits play a big part in it. So will aerodynamics.
Also, lmgtfy. Accord VIN Decoder
The EPA only lists the 2.3L I4 and the 3.0L V6, which means his car must be one of those. Is it a four or six cylinder?

If it's the 2.3L four you should be able to get low 30's mpg tanks with light aeromodding and some effort at the wheel.
