So if the new Accord is going to claim best gas mileage in class bragging rights it has to exceed the Altima. And in which case also the Fit and the Civic. The current Accord model claims 49mpg.
The Accord actually should be able to be better than the Altima - its engine will be DI and is more efficient and smaller in the first place. Both will have CVTs.
Is this even a problem...?
Regardless of the outcome, both of these cars have pretty amazing fuel mileage for their size!
