Replying to: cuyseco (Nov 14, 2008 7:38 am) 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. |

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. Thanks

Replying to: thegraduate (Nov 30, 2008 10:52 pm) 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 |

Do any of you current owners have any experience to relate regarding how the Civic performs in snow? Are you happy with the handling and feel secure?
