While generally speaking that is true (that mileage ratings are exaggerated), for whatever reason it appears that Honda understated the mileage of the Accord LX, at least the one I drive: fueleconomy.gov I get 25.5 mpg in city driving, with AC on and primarily stop and go conditions. I guess the operating philosophy (with Honda) is "underpromise, overdeliver"....though I know they sell hybrids and have heard they don't come close to the "official" standards. I think there's pretty wide driver-to-driver variability, too.....
