    I just bought a used 1999 honda accord ex v6(50,000 mile). I got
    average 20 mpg.

    1).Some accord v6 owner said they got average 28 mpg. I'm wondering if
    there is anything wrong with my car.

    2).The idle speed is a little above 1000rpm , but the dealer said it
    is normal.
    The manual said it should be 750

    3).The rpm for 60 m/h is 3000, 80m/h 4000 , I'am wondering if it is
    too high.

    4).The car is running fine as far as I can see.
