I recently got a 2003 Honda accord LX V6, with 85000 miles, but I get poor gas mileage out of it. 15.5 MPG.
I know my driving pattern is not ideal for MPG. I drive to work which is around 2 miles away in the morning and drive back home at night. The car doesn't even get warmed up when I get to work. I live in a small town, so my average speed is 30 miles.
All these said, only 15.5 MPG?!!!

Well you should put some either platinum spark plus or some E3 spark plus something that says best fuel efficient spark plugs, and well you should change the oil to fully synthetic...

You need to maintain your car, not just add gas and change the oil. try a full tune up. fuel and air filters, spark plugs and wires, cap and rotor, and add fuel system cleaner to the tank. it will cost you about $80 to do this but you'll sav that much in 6 months just in gas. Plus your car will last longer

Sounds good to me, a little over a gallon for gas to drive to work all week, most people use a gallons a day. Get bicyle and leave the car at home.

That is pretty bad. Are you really lead-footing it?
There's no CEL or anything? No sensors or filter bad or anything like that? You're current on service? Good tire pressure?
