Replying to: thegraduate (May 02, 2007 5:50 pm) 22/29. the manual gets 22/30 (which is funny, cause thats what my rabbit used to epa for.) quite a differance between the civc and mazda. in the mazdas favor though, the 2.0 gets 23/31, the manual achieving 24/32. the number for the 2.0 i's mpg is interesting, as it dropped 4 mpg in the city. (from 28-24.) suddenly the civics 5mpg drop isn't such a huge crime. the same can be said of the 2.3, which in manual guise, dropped 4mpg as well. (from 26 to 22.) |

Replying to: eldaino (May 04, 2007 6:45 am) A 4mpg drop in the city is not as significant at a 5mpg drop on the highway. Vehicles are supposed to be more economical on the highway, and not as much in the city, unless you are a hybrid. |

I got 32.67 MPG mixed driving, a couple of childish runs of high throttling against a Rabbit, Altima, and an A4 1.8T, all of course smoked revving my pre-break-in just up to 7200RPMs or so.... Just my $.02

Replying to: aviboy97 (May 05, 2007 7:55 am) true, but a 5mpg advantage for the civic, even with the new epa numbers, can hardly classify it as un-econimical. imho, its more impressive for it to take such a hit, and still be way on top.
