As I stated in my first response, I don't know the specific mpg for each of
the model years. I can tell you that my '88 Civic DX 4 dr typically gets
between 37 and 41 mpg with about 2/3 or so of my driving being freeway
miles. This mileage is typical of what other people have reported on this
newsgroup for this model (for example, search at groups.google.com for
Elle's old posts). Given this information, I would imagine that the CRX
HF's mileage would be even higher since practically the whole car has been
lightened to obtain H_igh F_uel efficiency. There's a trade off though.
One of the most noticeable to me when driving these cars is that the level
of road noise is much higher than other Civics due to there being less noise
insulation. However, if you're one of those people who always drive around
with the stereo on 11 than that might not matter much.

We have an '87 CRX. If you live anywhere that it gets cold, I wouldn't buy
one of those on a bet due to the fact that it's carbureted. Get one of the
fuel injected models. I haven't kept mileage numbers lately. I'd guess
it's getting in the low to mid-30s around town. It's been very reliable
with 144K on it now and no major maintenance.
We have the standard CRX in which performance is marginal. I would guess
the HF is really underpowered.
