|---|---|---|---|
| Full | 18.5 | 574 | 407 |

| 1/4 | 4.6 | 143 | 102 |
| 1/8 | 2.3 | 72 | 51 |
Over 15,000 miles a year (the EPA's yearly estimate) this configuration uses about 600 gallons, roughly 32 full tanks.
In real driving: owners who log fill-ups at fueleconomy.gov average 24.6 MPG in the Accord (114 drivers), about 455 miles on a full 18.5-gallon tank.
