Anyone with a new Civic willing to share real-world gas mileage? BTW, I
really love the look of this gen Civic. Not an "economy" car anymore.

 

2006 Civic Ex. manual transmission 32 mpg. on first tank City and
highway driving. In Los Angeles..

 

I'll know by the end of the week.

I bought a grey sedan (4-door) EX over the weekend, and it's now under a
half tank at about 225 miles. I'll fill it Friday and calculate.

Just filled mine, first tank, and it was 36 mpg. Mostly highway (80%)
and running about 80 mph most of the time.

 

First tank 80% highway running about 80...36mpg Las Vegas NV

Very first tank (filled by the dealership at delivery -- unsure how
'topped up' -- yields 29.8 mpg. Mixed driving, lots of rural
steady-speed stuff, 55 - 60 mph with cruise control set.

Interesting answers for this post. In an earlier post I recall reading
where an 06 Civic owner was getting in the mid or low 20s which was
dismissed because the car was not broken in -- after 4,000 miles. The
mileage quoted here is what I would expect even on new cars.

 

I had a loaner 1.8L with 200 miles on it and I got 30mpg in mixed driving.
it's not broken in yet.

Low to mid 20's??? I think it impossible to get those numbers unless
the guy was running in low gear!!! The auto trans sedan has a final
gear ratio in 5th of 2.33:1!! That figures to about 2600 rpm at about
79/80. It is just designed from the ground up to get good mileage,,,

Thats my car and I am closing in on 5k now and last fill up mixed
driving mostly highway and i averaged 26mpg. I live in PA and weather
has turned cold not sure if this is a factor. My old cadillac got same
mileage in mixed driving. Im thinking I should have got the accord.

Thought I had seen your post -- gives some perspective. Puzzling though,
new cars getting 36mpg. Perhaps weather and the type of gas are factors.
Still think you should be getting better mileage. I get that on an 01
Prelude running 80 on the highway and running it up into the VTEC. But,
then I have use premium.

 

Gas mileage can varry a lot from car to car. My Brother and my mom both had
99 tercels. Back in 99 when the cars were both new, they went to a gas
station both filled up, and hit the road. My moms was down to a quarter
tank of gas left, and my brother still had half a tank? go figure
