Accord V6 with VCM still no beating Aurion's FC?

I still running my first tank, combine with hwy and city drive, achieving 12.5L/100km so far and done 430km and still got 1/4 tank to go. I think it will achieve around 650km a tank as its first tank.

The Aurion has a 6 speed Auto while the new Accord has a 5 speed ... could there be a difference here? Plus the Aurion's 6 speed Auto uses "A.I" Artificial Intelligence to monitor revs ... road and driving condition and select the right and hold the gear. But I suppose you could say the same for the Accord as well coz the 5 speed Auto uses "grade logic" shift to select the right gear and hold gears - from uphill , downhill and the signals by the drive by wire gas pedal...

So there is no gear "hunting" which would hurt fuel economy... but comes down again to how you go about it... driving wise.

Any new Accord V6 owners out there able to report on fuel economy as yet?

Just did my first 1000k's and averaged 11.8 L/100klms.

With very gentle city driving (1/5 throttle) the best I could achieve was high 10's. With 1/2 throttle takeoff to speed limit I averaged around mid 12's.

Good job, EuroBro, I plan to do my first 1k service next week, and got smiliar result as u, hope it can getting better after run in.
