There were a number of different engines used in the Civic that year:
D15B8: 70 HP, 1.5l 8 valve engine used in the CX hatchback D15Z1: 92 HP, 1.5l 16 valve VTEC-e used in the VX hatchback D16Z6: 125 HP, 1.6l 16 valve VTEC engine used in the Si hatchback, the EX sedan and the EX Coupe D15B7: 102 HP 1.5l 16 valve engine used in all other varieties.
The VX with the D15Z1 engine was the most fuel efficient one, rated at
47 / 56 city / highway. It had the fuel efficient engine, lighter alloy rims etc.The CX was rated 42 / 46 and the DX hatch manual was rated 34/40
Any idea what the mpg rating was for the 1.6L (106 hp)engine in the 98 civic dx? Thanks.
You can find that info on
I ended up buying a 1994 Civic LX 1.5L 16valve 4 door tonight - 176,000 miles for $150. needs head gasket and much body work, etc.
How close can I expect to be to DX hatch manual was rated 34/40
Should I just have the head tanked and reinstall if it passes a leak test or can I improve on the mileage with new technology by replacing the head?
