Replying to: eldaino (Aug 09, 2007 7:22 am) Gas stations in my area can be a long ways apart, so it is necessary to have a good idea how far you can go before you run out of gas. So yes, miles per tank is a very useful idea. |

Replying to: eldaino (Aug 09, 2007 7:22 am) The calculated average MPG over several fillups is the best measure of how efficiently her vehicle is perfoming.

Replying to: blane (Aug 09, 2007 1:23 pm) no one is disputing how to calculate mileage...but since she didn't point out how she is filling up (like you said) then we can't rule it out either. so if anything, its even more relevant than we thought. |

Need some help here. I am going to buy a new honda civic lx sedan 4drs, but has difficulty to decide which color to go for. I am thinking about either Silver or Galaxy Gray. Any suggestions?

I chose this color over the Atomic Blue, as my dealer had both colors lined up next to each other. The Silver was nice to, but the last car was silver and the wife's 3s is also silver so I wanted a change. I also added rims from a '05 Civic Si, EP3's I think, and got another compliment in a parking lot from a lady driving a 3. She passed and said "Nice Car". Put a smile on my face. Truthfully, you can't go wrong with any color on a Civic. The light brown is nice also, but it does have the ivory interior...a deal breaker for me, as I prefer a darker interior. The Sandman

| I bought this car 3 weeks ago and with 500 miles on the car am not getting anywhere near the 30 mpg city that it is supposed to get. I have been told I need to wait a couple of thousand miles for the car to break in, which I find difficult to believe. If you have this model, are you getting the 30 mpg in the city? | |
| EPA ratings are taken on rollers so there is no wind resistance. That skews the numbers. They are also taken at the lightest throttle setting possible. If you see your tach touching 4k rpm you are burning more fuel and if you are seeing higher rpm regularly you are really going to drop below the EPA numbers. Are your tires at 32psi cold? Anything less than that will lower mpg as well. Do you have a bunch of stuff in it? Added weight equals lower mpg. Bigger tires with heavier unsprung weight? Another hit. Lots of variables that can affect it. | |

Hi, I purchased a new civic coupe ex back in April of this yr. I now have about 5,ooo miles on the car. I have not gotten nearly the mileage was led to expect. Most of my driving is highway driving, and I am averaging just 26 mpg. It has been as low as 22, and never been more than 27.5. That is with about 70% highway driving, average speed 55-75. Over Memorial Day I drove to the beach, just a straight shot on the expressway for 55 miles, no traffic, only one passenger, and the ac only used one way. I got 25 mpg. My regular route to work was just two lights, then on the expressway for 15 miles, and right off into my place of work. Sometimes I didn't stop the entire way. My driving habits have been quite moderate - no lead foot, speeding etc. Tire pressures are all 32. I am not hauling anything around with me. I do use the Air Conditioning. Does anyone have any ideas about this, or have others experienced similar mileage? I took the car back to the dealer - service looked at it and said they checked the fuel injectors - they were 90 and 94 out of 100. They said no error codes were showing, and that there was nothing they could do. I am very disappointed, as fuel economy was the primary reason I purchased this car over another. I do not expect to get what the estimates say, but I thought 30+ on the highway would be reasonable to expect. Any Ideas?
