Replying to: bamacar (Mar 07, 2007 5:52 pm) Went from 30 to 25 making it a 5 mpg difference. Looked up several of my previous cars/trucks/suvs I had in the past few years and the differences only range from 1 - 2 mpg less. City mpg: 2007 Civic EX AT sedan from 30 - 25 (averaging 22-24 lately) 2006 Odyssey from 19 to 17 (we get 15 - 16 mpg on average) 2005 F150 w/ 5.4 4x4 from 14 to 13 (I got 16 mpg on average) 2000 Maxima auto from 20 to 18 (got 19 - 20 mpg on average) 1999 Tahoe 4x4 from 12 to 11 (about 10 mpg on average)

Replying to: ajbcho (Mar 07, 2007 7:01 pm) How so? I didn't get screwed. There are plenty of 'larger' cars that would average 25, but the 25 mph that the epa states for the civic is not the 'average' overall, its the 'average' you can expect in the city. I 'averaged' 28 in my civic in the city. And 38 on the highway. No, i didn't get screwed. There are so many variables as far as mileage goes its impossible to listen to any poor mileage story without being completly sure that nothing adverse was left out!

Replying to: eldaino (Mar 08, 2007 10:48 am) To outline my reasoning: Current estimate is 30 now down to 25. A net loss of 5. My other cars net loss was within a few mpg. In fact, do look-ups on various cars and you'll realize that the Civic's adjusted mpg is rather bad. Not only that, I'm still averaging in the low 20's. I'm not going to go into detail as I've posted my mileages on the Civic mileage board (with alot of detail) and as a Civic owner I did get screwed. You and a few others in the minority seem to be getting good mileage, but most here on Edmunds are not. Why did you buy your Civic? Not for the luxury. It was for economy. My #1 reason for buying a Civic was for fuel economy, I'm guessing this is near the top of the list of priorities for many Civic owners when purchased. I know I wouldn't be driving a Civic knowing it got the mileage of larger cars.

Reread your window stickers guys...the figures are only ESTIMATES...nothing more, nothing less. Why is this so hard for people to understand. It shows a range of possible mileage figures that could be attained...it never said every "Civic" will get this exact mileage. In the long run, does it really matter? Over 50k miles, will the additional $ on gas really be that large? If so, then you might need to get a manual bare bones car. Really, time to let this dead horse go guys. You're making yourselves miserable over this, and how often can you go on complaining and complaining about the same thing...sheesh! Just my $.02 here. If you're that unhappy, sell the darn thing and move up in size to that "larger car" you keep talking about!!! The Sandman

You bet I'll use that towards my kids college funds or savings. If you don't like this topic just move on. Just don't read them. As I do with your postings of what wheels will look good on the Civic. Don't care about what wheels you think look good on the Civic. Have absolutely zero interest in it so I filter through those. You can care less about my mileage complaints. I think the NIMBY virus is making its round through these parts. |

You can care less about my mileage complaints. I think the NIMBY virus is making its round through these parts. Totally uncalled for. Wheels on a civic that are different than the norm = interesting. Hearing you gripe about your mileage about a car that is suppossed to get great mileage= old, repetative and deserves a nice 'get over it'. I have checked on other cars to see how much they have dropped. The corollas did a similar thing as did a lot of other compacts. Just becasue the civic dropped 1 or 2 mpg more really doesn't merit all this 'my kids can't go to college becasue my civic is a guzzler' junk. Puh-lease. What is one mpg? Nothing. There are lot of car out there aside from the civic that do decently as far as mileage goes. The new civic (and the new si) have attracted a large number of first time honda buyers and people who bought the car for the wrong reasons. You could have gotten a corolla with similar mileage, why go for the civic? Obviously there are more things to find attractive in a vehicle than fuel ecomomy and 'luxury' as you so pointed that the civic is not. Whatev man. |
