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

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.
 
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.

I have a 2006 Mazda 3i with manual transmission, and I regularly get over 35 mpg on the highway, with my average speed around 75 mph. I don't quite understanding how they formulate the new EPA numbers, as I regularly beat the old EPA estimates, particularly on the highway. On one road trip, I averaged 37mpg driving at a constant 75mph.

Never said the Civic was "uneconomical".

Well, every mfg took a hit, not just Honda

Hehe... it's my first Honda... and while I'm not exactly a spring chicken anymore, I thought it was funny, as this dork was revving it like some kind of Carrera or something, I just had to... I did say it was childish

who the guy in the rabbit? or one of the other ones?
 
i must say i would never do such a thing, seeing as how my rabbit is only slightly quicker than my old 06 ex,
 
...funny thing is, i've seen numbers for manual tranmission ex's and 4 door si's and they are not to far apart...
 
(7.7, 7.1) at least thats not HUGE to me...i dunno, have you ever timed yourself iomatic?
