What is the actual fuel consumption of the Accord?

Honda Accord Hybrid's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 2 liters lower than the gasoline version. The main reason for the hybrid's lower fuel consumption is the electric motor drive and energy recovery system. The 2018 Accord tested in ECO mode showed a fuel consumption of 7.07 liters per 100 kilometers, while the hybrid version consumed 5.1 liters per 100 kilometers. The following three bad driving habits will increase the car's fuel consumption: 1. Sudden acceleration: Many car owners enjoy the feeling of being pushed back in their seats, but excessive acceleration will increase fuel consumption. 2. High-speed driving in low gear: The most economical speed is actually between 80-90km/h, and driving at a constant speed is more fuel-efficient. 3. Frequent braking: The energy generated by fuel is used to drive the vehicle, and excessive braking will increase fuel consumption.
As a long-time Accord owner, the real fuel consumption is not constant. In congested city traffic, it can rise to 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers, especially during peak hours with stop-and-go driving. On highways, it's much more economical, easily maintained around 6 liters with efficient cruising. My experience shows an average of about 7.5 liters, but many factors influence this: driving gently with light throttle keeps it at 7 liters, while aggressive acceleration or braking immediately pushes it to 8.5 liters. Vehicle condition matters too—regular oil changes and proper tire pressure help stabilize fuel economy. A full tank can cover over 500 kilometers in city driving. Overall, the Accord's 1.5T engine is quite efficient; real-world figures are slightly higher than the official 6.5L/100km rating, but very reasonable considering actual usage.
