EPA estimates for new vehicles from fueleconomy.gov (U.S. EPA and U.S. DOE), data retrieved November 12, 2026. Your mileage will vary with how and where you drive. EPA data on this site starts with the 2010 model year.

Accord gas tank size and range

Honda shrank the Accord’s tank with every generation as mileage improved: 18.5, 17.2, then 14.8 gallons. The Hybrid’s smaller 12.8-gallon tank still gives it the longest range of the lineup. Range here is tank size times the EPA combined rating, so expect less in winter or at highway speeds over 70 mph. Plan a drive with the trip gas cost calculator.

Accord tire size and pressure

Accord pressures went up over the years. A 2008–2012 Accord takes 30 or 32 psi, the 2013–2022 cars take 32 or 33 psi, and the 2026 manual lists 35 psi front and 33 psi rear on 17-inch tires and 38/36 psi on 19-inch tires. The higher numbers on the new car are not a typo; follow the label on your own driver’s door jamb. If the warning light comes on, see tire pressure light.

Accord towing capacity

The 2008–2017 Accord sedan is rated to tow 1,000 lb. For 2018–2022, only the 2.0-liter turbo keeps that 1,000-lb rating; Honda says the 1.5-liter and the Hybrid are not designed to tow. The 2026 manual says the same for the whole 11th-generation lineup.

  • 11th generation (2023–2026): not rated for towing11
  • 10th generation (2018–2022): Check your owner’s manual
  • 9th generation (2013–2017): up to 1,000 lb4
  • 8th generation (2008–2012): up to 1,000 lb3

Recalls: check by VIN

Recalls follow the VIN, not just the model year. Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see anything open on your Accord. The VIN is visible through the lower driver’s-side windshield and printed on your registration and insurance card. A Honda dealer fixes open recalls for free.

What to record in your log

  • Each fill-up: date, odometer, and gallons, so you can see your real MPG next to the EPA number. The MPG calculator does the math.
  • Each Maintenance Minder service with its code, such as B12 or B14.
  • On a V6 Accord, the date and mileage of the timing belt job. It is the most expensive item on the car, and the next owner will ask.
  • On the Hybrid, your mileage in winter and in summer. The seasonal gap is larger than on a gas Accord, and a log shows whether a drop is the weather or a problem.

A car maintenance log keeps it all together.
