Replying to: cuyseco (Nov 14, 2008 7:38 am) I"m sorry to tell you but I have two friends who bought 08's. Their millage is just about what yours is. My 07 gets 41 hwy loaded with the air on. I asked the salesman why that is and he told me the gov't just changed how they rate the MPG's on new cars. That doesn't explain the actual numbers you and I are coming up with on the road.

Replying to: cuyseco (Nov 14, 2008 7:38 am) Considering the fact that you didn't give any details on your driving style, and where you drive, its really hard to say how good that is. Assuming a mix of city and highway, I'd say that sounds great (considering the car is rated for mid-20s in town and mid-30s highway), you're beating the estimates.

Replying to: cuyseco (Nov 14, 2008 7:38 am) I have an '07 Civic EX. I use it in a mixed mode for city and highway travel. Dependent upon the weather (AC on or extremely cold) the mileage runs as low as 33 mpg and as high as 37. The car has about 12,000 miles on it and I've owned it since Feb. this year. In most cases I see 35 mpg as my norm.   Jack
#315 of 345 Honda Civic 2009, LX, gas millage - BAD by Batta011 Nov 27, 2008 (7:53 pm)
I have Honda Civic, LX, model 2009 Gas millage of this car is overall a DISASTER: 260 miles so far, 20.8 MPG, city ride mostly. I was not pushing the gas pedal to hard, neither was accelerating to fast, never went over 2300 RPM. With my old Honda Civic 1994 I managed to get 32-35 MPG pure city drive and 41 MPG mostly highway. I understand that the car is new I that the MPG might get better after couple hundred or thousands miles, but I don’t believe it’s going to get so much better than this. If I was not careful enough I am quite sure the millage would be 18 MPG or lest, which is the millage of a middle size SUV. Did you have any experience like this with your brand new car or you had good millage straight from the dealer's lot.

Replying to: Batta011 (Nov 27, 2008 7:53 pm) The 41 plus MPG highway that I am getting on my 2007 Civic is the same now at 35,000 miles as it was last year with ten miles on it. ?????

Replying to: nsteevo (Nov 28, 2008 9:06 am) I hope it's gonna improve ones I get to 10K milles, but I hate this car already. Even if that happens I am going to get rid of it. Damn liers from Honda. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Nov 30, 2008 10:52 pm) Batta011 (Dec 01, 2008 10:35 am)

Replying to: Batta011 (Nov 28, 2008 4:04 pm) Hey buddy, would you mind telling us what kind of driving (where you live, your commute distance, etc) you do?   Also, I'm not sure where your comment about Honda's "liars," but if it is with regards to advertised fuel economy, take note that the EPA is the one with the testing procedures - not Honda.   Best of luck, and keep us posted!

Replying to: thegraduate (Nov 30, 2008 10:52 pm) Thanks a lot for your reply, I am sorry for my typos or spelling/grammar mistakes, I hope you'll understand what I want to say. In my understanding, EPA assigns the regulations, does not perform tests, but I might be wrong. I live in Pittsburgh, PA the area is far from being flat (don't know if you are familiar with this part of the States), but still I think I am far bellow what I was supposed to get of a gallon of gas. As I said, I always try to get as much as possible from the gallon, I do not accelerate a lot, never went over 2300 rpm. I am now at my second tank of gas, so I'll keep you informed if the gpm is going to improve over next couple hundred miles Again, thanks a lot for finding time to reply on my post. Cheers
