| | Accord EX I-4, 1999 "6 Gen"
Trip Odometer 289.1
(highway only - 266 mi)
Moving Time 4 hr 20 min
Stopped Time 0 min 20 sec
Moving Average 61.2 mph
Max Speed: xx mph
Mpg: 36.5 mpg (taken at South Hill #8 Station, after 289.1 mi with 7.991 gal, 80 mi combined, then ~200 highway)
Premium at 3.499 USD/gal
Conditions: heavy traffic flowing until Richmond with a crash + 5 minutes of backup, then minimal traffic up to duke
Noticed a sudden slowdown in traffic pattern too late and had to apply brakes. Saw: 1. a red miata on the left shoulder. 2. a red front bumper much too large for a miata 3. a tractor trailer on the right 4. a red cr-v on the left 5. police and RV on the right.
The I-4 is indeed more "lively" with vibrations through the steering wheel and cabin. 2000 rpm gives me about 60 mph, with 2500 yielding ~64. The steering feels vaguer than in the V6, but the cable-controlled brake and throttle of the I4 are preferred. I-4 not low on passing power when accompanied by VTEC roar. Exhaust note is decidedly higher pitched and more metallic.
