Honda Civic Fuel Mileage

Apr 26, 2006 8 Replies

A friend recently purchased a new Honda Civic coupe (not the SI) with an automatic transmission and is getting only 31 mpg. The car has 7000 miles so should be providing closer to the advertised 40 mpg. The car is a commuter car that travels about 70 miles per day on the freeway.



Are other owners of the new Civic getting better gasoline mileage?



Thanks,

Perhaps your friend's foot is heavier than he's letting on to you .

I get better highway mileage with my 2001 V6 Accord, than he's getting now.

Wow! I have a 98 HX and I think it's been to 3000 less than 15 times.

3,000 is something like 75 - 80 mph for me. I admit to extreme fuel-economy driving, but I get about 54 mpg in summer.

This tank I'm up to 604 miles and will probably fill up tomorrow or Friday.

Civic Sedan, 5 speed. About 350 miles so far, mixed highway and city.

34 mpg on my first tank.

I've never received over 34 mpg in my 04 hybrid civic - really pathetic, especially the dealer's attitude to it ie: "well, what mileage would you expect anyway" == if they advertise

48 I would expect at least 40

(80% city, 20% freeway)
