For the 2007 Honda Accord, fuel economy depends on the engine and transmission. In common configurations, the four-cylinder models typically achieve about 24–25 mpg city and about 34 mpg highway, while the V6 models usually deliver around 20 mpg city and about 30 mpg highway.
Overview of configurations and estimates
The 2007 Accord offered two main engine options: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter V6, with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions on some trims. The following EPA-style estimates reflect typical ratings for these configurations.
Common configurations include the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with either a manual or automatic transmission, and the 3.0-liter V6 with an automatic (with limited manual options in some coupes). The estimates below summarize these configurations:
- 4-cylinder, 5‑speed automatic: about 24 mpg city / 34 mpg highway
- 4-cylinder, 5‑speed manual: about 25 mpg city / 34 mpg highway
- 3.0-liter V6, automatic: about 20 mpg city / 30 mpg highway
- 3.0-liter V6, manual (where available): about 19–20 mpg city / 28–30 mpg highway
These figures are EPA estimates and reflect laboratory testing conditions. Real-world mileage will vary based on driving style, maintenance, and vehicle condition.
Factors that affect fuel economy and tips to improve it
Several real-world factors influence miles per gallon, and drivers can take practical steps to maximize efficiency.
- Maintain proper tire pressure and wheel alignment to optimize rolling resistance.
- Keep up with routine maintenance—air filters, spark plugs, and oxygen sensors can impact efficiency.
- Drive smoothly with gradual acceleration and moderate speeds; aggressive driving lowers mpg.
- Reduce weight and aerodynamic drag by removing unnecessary cargo and roof racks when not needed.
- Limit idling and use cruise control on highways when appropriate to maintain steady fuel use.
By addressing these factors, owners can often improve fuel economy beyond the base estimates while preserving performance.
Summary
The 2007 Honda Accord’s fuel economy varies by engine and transmission. Typical figures are roughly 24–25 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway for 4-cylinder models, and about 20 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway for V6 models. Real-world results depend on driving habits and vehicle condition, so consult the specific trim’s specifications for precise numbers.
