2018-2022 Honda Accord 1.5 vs 2.0. What you should know before buying any of these vehicles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 сер 2021
- So I wanted to share my experience with the gas mileage between the 1.5 and 2.0. I’ve had both and drive the exact same places. The 2.0 for me gets about 7 mpg less. So it’s a substantial decrease in mpg. I would suggest getting the 1.5 if you’re doing a lot of stop and go driving or a lot of commuting. Hoping this video can help some of you guys out if you’re debating on which model to get.

Some times I wish my 2.0 was more efficient, but when I put my right foot down I don’t care anymore.
Same here. Instant pull.
FACTS!!!!!
😂 frrr
I’m looking to buy a 2021 2.0t sport and the dealer telling me it gets 35mpg . Idk 🤷♀️? What y’all think ?
Well I didn’t buy the Honda I bought a Mazda6. I tell ya one thing ! No car gets good gas mileage when it’s 100 degrees outside and you got run the AC ALL DAY LONG. Should tested what car had the best AC IN IT . Hot as hell in Florida lol
You're spot on, I am averaging 23 mpg and that is after 6 months of ownership. I am kinda shocked too but loving the car.
In my 1.5 I was a fool on the rode it was just so much fun hearing the turbo after you let off the gas !!! I can't wait to get my 2.0t thanks for the heads up on being at the gas pump more
I’m getting around 32.5 in my 1.5. But I’m so jealous of y’all with the 2.0 I want one so bad. My wife drove my car to work this week and she averaged 27.8 , I’d say she was driving spirited lol. She thinks it’s quick, but she drives an AWD Rav 4, so yea accord seems quick to her.
If you want a more accurate reading of your gas mileage, you can reset the trip A on the dash. I reset mine every morning after warming up the car, then read the dash at the end of the day. Also stay on top of the maintenance, because these turbo Accords are notorious for over heating and causing head gasket failures. Theres dozens of videos on UA-cam regarding this issue. Especially the 1.5 Liter engines, but it happens to the 2.0 too
My 1.5 gets about 28 all day long on sport mode, always drive with paddle shifters, don’t even know if eco works. Love my 1.5 plenty of zip on the highway and city.
In a day to day situation, the 1.5 is plenty powerful for what you need.
Also a more unreliable engine
@@frankiedc4873 i put 50 in a year.. i think theyre good 😂😂
@@frankiedc4873the earlier models liek 18 and 19
the 2.0 isnt about what you need, its about what you want (;
@@frankiedc4873 if you cheap out on low quality gas and redline then yes, but why would you do that on a 1.5?
I have also recently updated to a 2.0 from a 1.5 a month and a half ago, and I drive a mixture of city and highway. My old average was 31-32ish and my current average is 28 with the 2.0. This is definitely driving sensible on long trips as well. IMO 100% worth the trade off with how much quicker it is!
Same here. Worry the sacrifice on mpg.
What was the difference wit the insurances?
@@ericv234 insurance is a $10 difference if I remember correctly.
I heard the 2.0t are made a lot better ?
The manual transmission gives you just a little more around 24ish on the 2.0
Bought a 21 Touring new last month and I agree completely with you on the mileage being kind of poor for a 2.0. Like you i’m not a commuter so I’m not impacted by it. Owning a GT Mustang 5.0 i’m going to say that the car doesn’t do too much better than that economy wise really.
Was going to buy another new GT Premium and I had one that I was waiting on to get received by the dealers in 8 days when I shopped and I decided to test a 2.0T Accord. Well seeing that I bought the Accord I will say that I was totally impressed by the power and handling of the car and it’s creature comforts.
It’s a very fun car to drive and I am very happy I decided to purchase it versus the Mustang. The Accord definitely satisfied my need for a car with Comfort, style, tech and power overall.
Nice choice. It definitely does a lot well. The power is perfect and like you said it handles well.
I have a 2020 EX 1.5T. In the city it gets around 27 mpg because of traffic, but on the highways it gets 40+. I did a road trip with 2 other people where half of the tank was done at around 60 mph and I clocked 44.9 mpg at the pump. I do notice that once you go past 70 mph, the mpg can drop significantly
My 16 hemi charger was avg. 16 mpg. I love my 1.5 2021. I had a 17 accord 4 cly was crazy good on gas but had a bigger tank. I get a little less mpg on 2021. But that 2017 save my life life in a
Major accident . Thank you honda
Nice. I do agree. The tank is really small.
Glad to hear it saved you. They are very safe cars.
I have a 21 ACCORD 1.5T EXL. I have had it since new and now at 32K miles. I commute a LOT on the hwy but half the time its bumper to bumper, slow, stop N go traffic going to work. I normally drive with the trans in "D" and the ECO mode on driving gently. I average 35.5 mpg and have gotten as much as 40.3 mpg on a long hwy trip.
Now sometimes I put the trans in "S" without the ECO on and I will tell you, it is spirited enough to do whatever you need to do! Its quite surprising and has good throttle response for the displacement. Not a race car and I'm certain the 2.0T is even more so but its nice! I've seen all the videos of head to head races with the competitive companies comparable cars. The 2.0T always wins but sometimes only by a nose.
I have a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T and probably 75% of my driving is highway. I haven't reset the Trip B mileage since I got it and I'm averaging 29.5 so far. I would not want to be without the power of the 2.0T. Love this engine. And that fuel economy is great by me. Thankfully, I don't have to do a lot of in town driving. Getting ready to take some long trips in October and I feel confident that my overall miles per gallon will rise over 30.
That’s great mpg for the 2.0. I can never get over 25 but I do mainly city driving.
@@HondaJon I agree. It really shines out on the highway and fortunately for me that's the majority of my driving. I commute 30 minutes one way to work, mostly on 4 lane semi-rural highways that have 70 mph speed limits. I typically set my cruise between 74-76. Love driving my Accord 2.0T!
I have the 2020 2.0 and get around 22 mpg. That being said, it is on sport mode 75% of the time. It is absolutely fun and worth it.
I agree there. Worth the lower mpg for sure.
I have the 2021 2.0 Sport. Getting 16mpg😂 K&N intake and borla exhaust. Catless downpipe being put on today. I drive it like a maniac lol
I have a 2017 Honda Accord EXL V6 and average around 25-26 mpg. My 2013 2.4 liter Accord Sport 4 cylinder 6 speed manual averaged around 28. Same mixture for both which was around 65% city and 35% highway. The V6 however will get better gas mileage on the highway than my 4 cylinder. That cylinder deactivation ain't no joke and it's the 3rd Gen one for those that are going to warn me about reliability. The V6 is at 98000 miles and the 4 cylinder was total in a wreck and had 150000 and never any issues with it! No issues with the V6 thus far.
I drive mainly highway miles. I bought a 2018 2.0 a few months ago and I reset trip A to keep track of my mpg over the life time of the car. I usually go 75-80 mph and over the last 3,000ish miles I’ve averaged 27.8 mpg so far and it’s continued to slowly climb up. Over the last 3 weeks I’m getting 30-32 mpg as I drive back and forth from work. My only complaint so far is how small the gas tank is, only getting about 360 miles per fill.
I picked up a 18 2.0 Touring with 600 miles last week. It’s such a great car.
Congratulations. 600 miles ?
@@HondaJon yea it was an insane find. A 2018 with only 600 miles.
Great info
I have the 1.5l, added the K&N air filter and the upper engine mount thanks to one of your vids, I average around 35Mpg highway sometimes if I baby it I’ll get 38-40 but I also run 89 octane. Recently drove to Pigeon Forge and averaged 80-85 MPH and got 35Mpg, I played with Eco mode and Normal and they did about the same.
Love the videos, keep up the good work!
Nice. I do miss those mpg from my 1.5. Definitely great. Thanks so much man. 👊🏼
I don’t see a difference between the Econ or normal mode either. I want to stay away from the K&N just because I don’t need and dirt getting into my intake causing problems. I never felt any real power from that anyhow. Partial oil changes I noticed keeps my engine running smooth.
I just traded my 1.5t to the 2.0. Lost $8000, but its worth every single penny and it drive like butter! So anyone looking to buy the new generation accord, just go straight to the 2.0! No gas difference!
Congratulations man. You’ll be happy.
Man I did the same thing, had the 2021 1.5T for a month and then traded for a 2022 2.0T, felt stupid at first than I decided yolo, way better and smoother
Thank you for sharing this. I didn’t think I needed the 2.0 when I bought my 1.5 two years ago, until I started divulging into forums praising the 2.0’s superiority, leading to buyer’s remorse.
However, practically driving a 1.5 in stop and go traffic makes more sense. Better MPG, and because of traffic conditions I wouldn’t maximize the 2.0’s power anyways. While I’d still love to own a 2.0 one day, I’m happy with my car from a practicality and financial standpoint 👌
The 1.5 is great. Plenty of power for your needs. I do miss the mpg to be honest
The 1.5 is a really fun car to drive, I car drive like a manic on Sport mode all the time with the paddle shifters and still avg 28-29. No regrets with the 1.5.
Yeah, the 1.5L is great. I have the 2.0l and part of me wished I bought the hybrid version. I don’t know if it would matter as I drive all highway miles to work.
@@Raptors0524 I have no place to plug in. But I see your point.
Same same! I also bought my 1.5t in 2021 when cars have an extra 2 to 4k upsell! Going from work to home, I am in traffic most of the time anyway. From time to time I wish I went with the 2.0.
I currently am at 24 mpg in the city; no ECON mode, on my 2.0T. I took her on a 1400 mile (round trip) and was getting about 33 mpg on the highway.
The 10 speed transmission has a some to do with MPG of the 2.0t Accord on the highway. Honda's K20C is an amazing engine that is designed to give a nice flat torque curve though out the middle of the RPM's. I am hearing most Accord 2.0t owners running 80 MPH and only turning around 2500 RPM's which means better MPG then the older v6 accords. I was lucky to get 28 MPG on the highway with my 7th gen v6 (5 speed transmission).
I purchased a 2022 Accord 2.0 Sport due to my last Accord totaled in an accident.
Mine gives me 22-23 MPH (and it's in Sports mode majority of the time) City driving
I’ve owned but and never cared for the extra power of the 2.0…. But the fear of the cvt giving out is worth me getting the 2.0 and never looking back… the 10at is much smoother and just seems much more reliable
2021 Touring here. 7k miles. Overall mpg right around 26mpg in mixed driving. It has been increasing little by little. My complaint is the size of the fuel tank. It holds around 3 gallons less than my 9th gen accord. Would be nice to go a little further w/o filling up. Still worth it though. It is fun to drive and uses a real 10 speed automatic. If the 1.5T had the same transmission would have given it more consideration.
What’s difference in the touring and the 2.0T sport ?
@@jayc774 electronic features mostly, also different interior materials and enhancements.
2.0t best overall. No cvt option aswell. Better reliability. Love ours. That 10spd makes it pic up real hard and helps it destroy vehicles most would think it can't . And our mpg we average 25.6 in our 2.0t
Agree 100%
I commute a lot for the job that I do & I had a 5.0 V8 f150 4x4 believe it or not that thing was averaging 22 mpg. But the fill ups were killing me at $80 a tank. I traded it for the 1.5 sport accord $30 fill ups 34 mpg average lately cannot complain about the mpg. The ride is kinda bumpy definitely a big difference from a truck to a car for my daily lol. anything I can do to improve the comfort of the ride? It came with Goodyear tires.
Budget wise the 2018 LX 1.5 works for me, I'm not looking to race a Lamborghini at a stop sign, just need the boost to get by the essential NJ drivers.😅Although the trim is basic you learn to appreciate life and the safety of others 🙏🏽
Nice. I agree. The lx is the best bang for your buck for
Sure. Plenty of passing power and a lot of standard features as well
I find my Accord Hybrid Touring plenty fast with lots of quiet, smooth, low end electric torque, faster than the 1.5 to 60. Glad I chose it. Gets 35-45 mpg. Avgs 39. My previous car was an Acura 6 speed coupe, got maybe 18-25 mpg. Drove the 2.0 Touring, it was fast but I didn't need that in a big sedan.
I have a 2.0L and wish I went hybrid. I am glad you love the car
Also, I believe that the transmission is the main reason for the economy loss in the 2.0
The main reason other than the bigger motor was avoiding the CVT Transmission. They are junk. Expensive to repair when the warranty ends and it’s still an evolving technology. I’ll probably never buy a CVT model unless i’m absolutely forced to if Honda stops producing standard automatic transmissions in their cars.
CVT or oil dilution take your pick.
Thanks for the information on fuel economy. I have a 120 mile commute each day and the difference would be felt in my wallet.
For sure. The 1.5 is far superior in mpg. While the performance isn’t there, it has plenty for most people.
With a mix of Highway/City and Econ Mode, my 2020 1.5 gives me a little bit above 35mpg. I sometimes think I should have gone with the Sport instead of the Base model, but it looks great, performs great, and has great gas mileage. It’s a great car.
That’s great mpg. I wish I could get that 😆
Only difference between base and sport model is literally just exhuast tips, fog lights and sport button not worth paying an extra 4k for when u could jst install the fog lights and sport tips for around 300 bucks. Still has sport mode but instead of a button it's in the shifter
I have a 2.0t in normal driving mode and I’m averaging 27.9 in Kansas City !
I'm fortunate (?) enough to have a 30 minute commute to work, mostly highway. My '21 2.0 Sport is averaging 32-33 mpg. My '00 LX 5-spd (with 330K) averages 30-31 mpg. Getting almost the same mpg with an Accord that's 400lbs heavier with 100 more hp is pretty awesome.
Nice. That’s great. I also don’t drive far but mine is all city so not that great
I also drive 27.5 miles one way to work and it’s all highway. I can easily achieve 33-36 mpg on my way to work. One time I was really babying it (65mph max) and got 39.5. This car is amazing. However, when I drive around town I am lucky if I can achieve 20mph 😂.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for the feedback. I know. It’s definitely worth it. I was just shocked at how low it is around town for a 4 cylinder.
I heard the 1.5t has problems with the motor is that true debating which one I should get
I hve the 2020 EX-L 1.5. I prefer it over the 2.0. I am in my 40s. I love fast cars, but I also love keeping money in my pocket. Lol. And with gas prices as high as they are here in the SF Bay area (I live in Fairfield. Gas is currently $4.45 average here), every gallon of gas matters. I recently drove from the SF Bay area to Seattle with this Accord. Managed to get about 38.9 on that road trip. I don't mind the CVT. It shifts seamlessy. The 2.0 really wasn't that impressive to me anyway, coming away from my 2014 V6 Touring. But the 1.5 will do for now.
I have an 18 Touring 2.0 with 65k miles on it. Never have I had below 26mpg on a tank. My average for the 65k is almost 28mpg.
I could drive in sport mode with my foot in it all day, which i do sometimes, and not get those numbers.
Hey Jon, hope you’re well! Another great vid w/ useful info. I opted for the 2.0t as well & it does guzzle gas. LOL! 😳 But, I love the pick-up when I need it!
P.S.: That issue w/ my screen being stuck on the “Update Successful” screen is resolved. I just came out one day, started the car, & it was gone. So weird that it stayed up for over a week. Oh well, take care & stay safe! 🤙🏼
Thanks bro. Hope you are good too. Same here. The power is worth it for sure.
Also on Econ mode with the cruise set at 70MPH I got 40MPG. Tested with actual fuel used and mileage. This was over a 70 mile range.
Got 45 with a/c at 74 degrees, 91 octane gas for a 85 miles trip at 60 mph.
My 2018 1.5L Sport gets right around 30 mpg in town standard setting, 37 hwy using premium no ethanol fuel. I have driven a 2.0 and while it feels really nice, I think I'll stick with what I have. Plenty zippy as is
That’s awesome. I do miss that kind of mpg.
I was told the turbo goes got on the 1.5 a lot and the 2.0 hardly ever
Hey Honda Jon how’s it going!?…wanted to ask you what you think about that new Sonic grey pearl color?….and also wanted to ask do you think the 2023 new body style accord will be better than the 2018-2022 accord body style?
It’s great. Hope you are doing well. I like it. Just not sure how it looks on the Accord. It looks amazing on the civic but I sometimes feel the Accord is too big for that color to flow. But it is a nice color.
I’m curious myself on the new body style. It seems like Honda is going in a more simple direction looking at the civic. Not sure how I feel about that. I always like more buttons in a more futuristic cockpit myself
@jonathangraham I got that color. i got a lot of compliments on it. Looks pretty good!
I hope the '23 top of the line Accord will be even faster than the current 2.0T. If not, I probably will look elsewhere. I am real curious to see what Acura has planned for the reintroduction of the Integra and specifically the Integra Type S.
I'm getting around 26-27 mpg in my 2020 EXL 2.0, mixed driving, normal unspirited conditions. Never considered the 1.5, I wanted the power and CVT was a deal breaker.
Will never drive a CVT. It's such a dehumanizing experience.
@@OGJeff685 That's a bit dramatic
@@OGJeff685 No not really lol.
Have a 18 1.5 averaging 35.mpg it has pleanty of power once the turbo kicks in..But Jon ,I traded in my 15.Accord because of the lousy rock hard and gittery ride that it had..Once i got into the 18..i could not beleive the difference in ride I have had 6 Accords.Only my 92 came close to this car..supprised no one mentioned this.
I was thinking of adding a remote start to my 1.5 sport 2018 since there’s a software way of doing it even if the 1.5 doesn’t have it. Any thoughts on that? Engine wise or even wear and tare? I live in Illinois so I need that for the winter too.
I’d definitely get it. It’s great and very useful. Not need to
Worry about added wear. This engines are designed for that
@@HondaJon yeah apparently all that i need is a software to download and a locksmith to pair up the keyfob and in set to go.
Exactly. It’s really easy. Best thing to do.
2020 1.5 with 25k miles. i drive in econo mode most of the time in city and maintain 30 plus mpg consistently. I can hit 38mpg on the highway.
That’s great. I do miss that kind of mpg.
I mostly do city driving sometimes long commute if I have to go but mine 1.5 is around 24.7mpg I’m still considering upgrading to 2021 2.0t with flex fuel but for 2.0 I might do long commute and city driving since with college too.
My 1.5 accord in FL gets 33 mpg. Not too much traffic there. In NY my 1.5 civic gets 29 mpg and I see way more traffic in downstate NY.
Off topic but please give me your thoughts. On 2020 Honda Accord, there's an NFC chip on dash. Up until the last system update, my Samsung Galaxy S20 had Android Beam, which NFC needs to function. Google replaced AB with Nearby Share and I can't get my phone's NFC to pair with vehicle any more. Any thoughts?
Unfortunately I don’t because I have an iPhone so never could use it anyway. I would try and delete your phone and restart the pairing process again.
I'm getting around the same MPG as you too in my 20 Touring. I do use sport mode occasionally but I was actually expecting better MPG though. I had a 1.5 Sport before and yes the gas is better but it was lacking features and not so much power for me.
I know Honda got rid of the 1.5T Touring in 2019 but I think that would've been the best of both worlds, good gas with the most features possible. I would've still gotten my 2.0T of course haha. Once you go 2.0T you can't go back.
I do miss the sound of a V6 though but that's why we have exhaust kits along with a cold air intake. Both of these mods are on my wishlist of course. Next mod is getting some eibach sports springs! I want to keep my active dampers so just a 1" drop should be nice enough for me. Then I wanna get some 20" rims. That should fill up the wheel well better. Happy modding everyone!
A much better more popular mod would be a 370z, Corvette or Mopar.
I live in the city and just use my car to commute. More power is nice, I’ve had a fast car before, but honestly I like the cheaper insurance and gas since I live in Cali
I feel ya. Yeah gas is getting ridiculous. It’s over $5 where I am already
@@HondaJon Yeah an extra 60 Horsepower just isn’t enough for me to justify the gas. If they had AWD with a 2.0T I might’ve done it
I agree with that. It’s the same platform. Like you said awd would make a big difference
My 2.0 is 3 years old. I usually get about 26 on fairly short in town driving.
Only reason I want the 2.0 is the style and the sunroof. The 1.5 should come with a sun roof in my opinion
I agree. Should be standard.
Yeah it's not even an option like how it is for the Camry SE. This is how Honda gets you to spend more money then you want. Look at the new 21 Sport SE, they added a couple of nice things but not a sunroof smh. I rather trade leather seats for a sunroof if I'm going for a lower trim. That Sports SE would've been perfect for a lot of people if Honda had did that.
Mine comes with sunroof self start heated seats all that and it’s the 1.5t lol
Hey Honda Jon I wish Honda came out with an All Wheel drive accord that would
Be pretty nice it’s time for one!! Lol
I agree. That’s why I’ve considered Acura. There’s no comparison to awd in cornering capabilities
Same with my Sonata 1.6T and 2.5T. Although the numbers are bigger lol
2.0 will give you less gas simply bc it's a 2.0 and it's the sports model. In my 1.5 I get min 29 mpg, coming off the highway from long driving, I've stayed at 30.5 mpg for the past two weeks.
its weird. in my 2020 Civic Sport with a 2.0 n/a engine, I got 40 miles to the gallon and Honda doesn't rate it at that, and it was cold using my winter tires. I guess Honda doesn't put up real numbers at times.
2019 2.0T EXL here. My average is around 21.5 with mostly city driving
I had the Civic SI 2019 tuned with k-tuner still got 10mpg better than my tuned Accord! Crazy thing is doesn't even make a difference if the car is tuned or not on ⛽ mileage! Maybe a little different because you're always going fast but the 1.5 in the Civic is way better than the Accord 2.0 on ⛽! Not even close imo
& when my SI was tuned my buddy got an accord before I did. Both cars completely stock both tuned with k-tuner & the SI n' the Accord were neck & neck from 10-115mph it literally went back & 4th. The Accord feels easier to drive, the Accord is the 10 speed fyi
I get between 35-37mpgs here in Orlando. Driving to Miami this weekend. Let's see what I get out her on the trip. -1.5t Sport. Looked at the menu on the screen like you did and my previous trip was 38.9mpg normal mode. Wow
It's because Florida is flat
@@ombmuzik871 True. Flat lands. Going to try to hit 40mpg this weekend haha
@@Henry.P drop in a K&N air filter and you'll hit it.
@@ombmuzik871 I got one in there. Using 89 gas as well. Added the upper torque mount as well.
@@Henry.P niiiice
Still rocking my 1.5t, but I might end up switching to a 2022 Civic (If the Si is out by December) or a 2021 2.0T Touring
I'm able to get a solid 29 mpg on normal drives and around 35 for highway
Inventory everywhere is a bitch so I opted for a 19" 2.0T. The proce was a deal that I couldn't pass up either
Nice. The new civics are nice.
I have 43,000 on my 18 Accord 2.0t. My overall fuel economy is 29.1. I have a 44 mile daily commute. My freeway mileage on level ground is 35.4mpg. EX-L.
That’s awesome. Freeway is where this engine excels.
which one I have to buy in accord 1.5T or 2.0T????
@@dipakgoswami9679 mine is the 2.0 and I love it. Good fuel economy and amazing power if you need/want it.
Mines is also heavily modded so I barely press the gas for it to go
Sent you some emails great Vid Jon I can’t speak for others but my Hybrid average is 45 HYW/ CITY Take care bro
Wow
I Do run Premium and use Chevron Techron every 5 K The fuel treatment and the brand I use was in my maintenance book when I owned my 08 but I have been using it a long time before then I don’t know if it makes a difference but I can tell the idle is even smoother than without it but the accords idle very smoothly anyway as long as you take good care of them
Great to know. I should use some of that too
I knew the 28 MPG was not fully what you would get day to day. EPA estimates are for the EPA, not really for the daily driver. I have the 9th gen 2.4 liter CVT and get on average 26 MPG, so I knew the 2.0t isn't going to get 28 MPG even on a good day in and around the city.
I have struggled with either getting the 1.5t or the 2.0t. I have had a 7th gen v6 and a 9th gen 4 banger CVT. I cannot say I totally miss the v6 on daily driving. I can tell it the 2.4l CVT doesn't have the get up and go of the v6. But once you are moving the CVT is just as speedy on the highway as the v6. I am really torn on the 10th gen which one I will get. I wish Honda would have kept the 2.0t and added the Hybrid system over the 1.5t, but I get why with the 41-46 MPG on the 11th gen Hybrids.
I'm getting 23.6 mpg in my 2020 accord 2.0 sport. I work in real estate so a lot of City miles in the Houston area. This thing flies and I always hit the gap 😎 I drive fast and the turbo gets used alot lol you must be putting the pedal to the metal to only get 20 MPG! I'm sure if I was more conservative I could get about 27 or 28 MPG
I hear ya. Yeah I don’t drive crazy but I drive very short distances. When my wife Borrows it, she gets about 27.
@@HondaJon yeah that makes sense, if you're not going too far and you're constantly braking and accelerating then that would result in a lower MPG. On another note, thank you for posting these videos! Anytime I want to learn something about my car I come to your channel! Thanks for always keeping it real and for actually replying to your crowd bro👍🏼💪🏽 🔥🙏🏼
Thanks bro. I appreciate that and love hearing from everyone. It’s great to help eachother out
Screw the gas mileage!!! It worth every bit of it
I do agree with that. Definitely puts a smile on your face.
I try not to lead foot mine but I was still only getting around 17-18 mpg. I thought I was doing OK until I let my mom use it for a few hours. When she brought it back it was at 24 mpg. Sometimes I wish my foot didn't weigh so much.
Does the 1.5 have ventilated seats thanks
That screen on my car reads 28.1. I'm retired and only drive about 9,000 miles a year. A mix of city/hiway, but few distant trips. 2.0T Touring 10 speed. So I'd probably get mid 30's in a 1.5. Thats in standard mode, not eco. (occasional Sport Mode).
That’s some great mileage. I feel anything over 26 for the 2.0 is great.
I just purchased a 2022 2.0T Touring and I’m getting 15.6 mpg. I wonder why I’m getting so little? I’m not sure if there is an issue with the car. I usually drive i in sport mode.
The 2.0 is not efficient. Especially in sport mode I was getting similar mileage
I love my 2.0T. Would never under any circumstances get a 1.5 lol
The power is definitely worth it.
I feel you bro
Lol , pay more for expensive gas
@@albazeuro lol still worth it.
Got the 1.5 and put a tune, airintake, oil bypass and it's really fun it's my 1st Honda and I'm happy with it. And most of my life I've had cummins diesels and f150s all well above 500hp " still got my 12 valve cummins with 750 hp and I find myself driving the Honda more often now lol
Any suggestions on a bluetooth cd player for these 10th gen Accords
I’m sure you could use any as long as it’s compatible with Bluetooth. I don’t have any cds so I can’t say for certain.
I went from a 2006 Acura CSX (K20Z3?), I get about the same mileage in my 2018 2.0T 6MT. Not horrible considering the addition size and almost twice the power on tap. It's crazy how much less it uses cruising at speed on the highway in comparison to city though.
For sure. It’s great on the highway. City is subpar
@@HondaJon I wouldn't call it subpar. Allow me to go into more detail. I drove the same route for 2yrs+ with my old CSX and its naturally aspirated K20 5MT. I averaged 9L/100km (canadian eh) calculated manually using the trip meter pretty consistently. My Accord is 400-500lbs heavier, makes just shy (~10) of twice the torque, and the guage shows 8.8L/100 at the moment still making the same trips. Essentially a match if not ever so slightly worse despite carrying more weight and having double the torque. That is pretty impressive to me. On the highway I believe its even better than my old car, but I never did the numbers regularly for that.
Have the 1.5T in a non-Si Civic CVT and it of course is crazy better in the city, but doesn't see a massive benefit on the highway like the 2.0T does. It also sounds like crap IMO and the CVT "gears down" for the slightest headwind. Just my 2 cents.
@iVTECInside true. I just feel the 2.0 doesn’t get what someone would expect a 4 cylinder to achieve. Most people of driving just city get in the high teens. That is similar to v6 and v8 engines. The 1.5 I had got mid 20’s in the city. The 2.0 is great for power from a 4 cylinder whereas the 1.5 is for mpg. I agree with you on the cvt sound. I can’t get over the way it sounds/feels when accelerating
@@HondaJon something I had forgotten until you made the comparison to V6s. Recall that the 1.5T was intended to replace the 2.4LNA and the 2.0T was meant to replace the J35. I believe in that sense the 2.0T is a win all around, with exception of the sound and immediate torque delivery of the V6.
Yup same to me , mpg on 2.0 not very good but we get a performance, thats why i got 2.0
Same here.
@@HondaJon Are you filling up gas every week or 2 weeks Jon
I go every two weeks. 👍🏻
@@HondaJon May i ask how many miles you drive for a day ? i ask because i think there is something wrong with my 2.0t , it drinking gas so bad that i have to fill it up every week and i drive like 30 miles everyday city , please let me know
Thanks a lot Jon
I don’t drive much at all. I put about 10 miles a day on it. The 2.0 engine is t the best. I was shocked too after driving awhile and seeing the numbers
mine 2022 accord 1.5 gives me 29 in city and around 38 on hwy . more than enough power for city driving.
Do all supercharger motors need to be left on before shutting it off for the turbo to kick off?
No. Its best to drive it easy until they warm up though.
@@HondaJon thank you. I purchased a 22 Honda accord 2.0t and it has supercharger I just didn’t know if I needed to leave the car on for the supercharger to turn off then turn the car off
@kidgerman435 nice. Congratulations. It’s a turbocharger though and your good to just turn it off.
How is the 2022 honda accord sport in the winter?
For me it was fine but it doesn’t snow where I live. It does great in the wet weather
Dang, my 2.0L na Corolla gets 32.5 in mostly city driving, and I have the less efficient 6 spd manual hatch. I do live in FL (super flat, warm, and sea-level). That probably helps.
Yeah the 2.0 turbo is not great on gas that’s for sure. It makes good power but at the cost of mpg.
I get average of 35 mpg highway and combo of city and hwy about 30 mpg in the hills of East Tennessee evidently you have a heavy foot
Does anyone know if insurance is significantly more than the 1.5?
A lot of factors but mine was a couple dollars a month. Nothing really.
@@HondaJon ok! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jon, wondering what grade of gas do you put in your 2.0?
I use regular
I would personally recommend Premium 93 Octane if you can find it.. I used to put 87 and 93 definitely makes a difference in terms of smoothness and performance. No substantial gains in terms of acceleration times, but definitely a difference
@@krishpatel4086 Thanks. Only 91 here in the area and been using it since day one. Thinking about switching to regular since the gas price has gone up too much.
@@HondaJon Thanks. I’ve been thinking switching from 91 to 87.
That’s weird I always see people saying 20 mpg with their 2.0 but I’ve had my car for a year and I daily drive about 15-20 miles per day and my average is 27 mpg. With seeing these numbers I think people are getting on the throttle a lot more than they need. This is my second 2.0 that averaged 27. You must live in a congested area stop and go traffic.
Yeah I don’t drive much and it’s all stop and go. On the freeway it does get mid 20’s. So it definitely depends on where you live.
yeah there is a big deference. but like u Said it worth it that 2.0 stock. move. fast.
I get 28 avg. most trips are 30-35. 😮 I don’t drive slow either.
I get about 22 average in the city on my 2021 1.5t
I love my 2.0! I rarely use Sport Mode, but with my upgrades and pro-tune (runs rich) I definitely see a noticeable decrease in fuel economy by virtue of more fuel demand. But, WHO CARES, lol! A consistent low 12 sec Accord w/ more than 470 hp?!? Who knew 🤷🏾♂️😁
Big plus - I can truly gap V8’s!
😮
Why can't Honda build 1.5l based on 2 liter engine for the sake of dependability?
I had a 1.5 LX (which has lighter wheels and gets 1 mpg better than the sport) and I averaged 36 or 37 in town. You must drive in a really bad area with really bad roads or weather to get 26. My 06 Ridgeline gets 19/20 mpg. Have you tried a different gas station? I think you are getting bad gas. My 9th gen V6 Accord gets 27-29 mpg on average in town and its a manual without VCM. Again, must be bad gas in your area.
I don’t drive far at all which is part of the issue. I don’t even get on any freeways 🤷🏻♂️
@@HondaJon What kind of mileage does your Pilot get?
About the same lol
I drive uber 2.0t accord. ... avg240 miles a shift at 26mpg
Do not buy the 1.5l! it has engine dilution problems that Honda wont fix it. The 2.0T is a good engine, stock it can beat a lot of cars on the road, its crazy quick and fun to drive.
They say that the 1.5t has an oil dilution problem and the 2.0t.
Im getting 25 to 26 combined in my 2021 touring consistently and it has 20k miles on the od
That’s good. About what I’m seeing with the 2.0.
Lol I drive my car on sport mode like 24/7 and am heavy on the pedal, and I get around 17-19 mpg. 1.5t sport btw
Definitely decreases when you put your foot into it. That’s my problem 😆
My 2019 2.0T 10 spd sport was getting up to 32.6mpg but is mainly highway miles
That’s awesome.
@@HondaJon I'm the opposite from you, I drive with a light foot and try hypermiling most of the time. I'm all for efficiency but didn't want a CVT or stick that comes with the 1.5T
You guys that bought Hondas pre pandemic what prices did you pay?
I'm picking mine up next week.. took awhile to find one, 41,200 out the door , Accord Touring
I average 38-40 highway with my 1.5 new Acura INTEGRA
Anyone having oil dilution problems on the 1.5t I’m thinking about buying one
2.0 makes the 1.5 slow...the MPG trade off is definitely worth it. Plus a CVT vs a real auto...no comparison.
I definitely agree with you there.
How much is it to fuel up the 2.0? And the price per gallon where you live ?
It can cost a lot. Where I live regular is $4.99 so it costs about $80 😮
@@HondaJon oh god . Where I live it’s 3.49 .
Tell me about it. Last week it was over $5. So thankful I don’t drive a lot.
@@HondaJon how long does the car last you fuel tank?
Ex driving it to work and back home everyday.
I can’t find it on my car to tell if it’s a 1.5 or 2.0 i got a silver Honda Accord sport 2021 I’m so lost I’d really luv to know
Just look at the engine. If it has a black plastic cover it’s a 2.0. Also if it has a sunroof it’s a 2.0
@@HondaJon I found out I got no sun roof sadly but I got 1.5 n I luv mine
That’s a sweet car. Plenty of power and phenomenal gas mileage. I miss those mpg’s
