my cousin is selling that car, but my parents dont want to buy it for me cuz it 'swallows' gas since its a 6.
and hes selling it to me for $3500 which i think its pretty damn good deal.
but i'm curious about the MPG.

The actual mpg you will get on a car varies according to how you drive it.

I think the current scheme for assigning mpg ratings is deceptive, because it tries to "take into account" inefficient driving styles.

I think this was unnecessary, and tends to soft pedal the difference between high and low efficiency cars. Which I suspect was probably the whole point of switching the method.

I preferred the old method, which used a more strictly standardized test.

Your Honda Accord's numbers are "18/25 mpg," for example.

But according to the old standard, the numbers are "20/28 mpg."

And from my experience I'd say you can very likely get something close to those old standard numbers, if not slightly better, if you drive efficiently.
