Fuel Economy

I'm curious as to what kind of fuel economy you're getting out of the 06s. I'm on my 5th fill-up and avg. about 34.5 mpg. Definately an improvement from the 19.5 I was getting in my Liberty. Just curious to see what others are getting.




Forgot to add, I have an EX Coupe AT

My first tank yielded 30.11 mpg, which is pretty good for mixed city and highway driving on an automatic.

34-35 mpg average. "Spirited" driving and 85-90% is highway miles.

Question

I know this may be a dumb question, but how do you calculate your gas mileage accurately? I still don't know all the functions.

take how many miles youve driven, and then divide that by how many galons your tank took at the pump.

My first fill up today. 394 miles and took 11.32 gallons which is equal to 34.79 mpg.
That is roughly 11 mpg more than my 02 Acura TL-S I traded in.

I got this Civic for gas money savings and I am very pleased now.

I average 36-38 mpg. Mostly rural driving. Definately spirited driving habits. However, I have noticed that the mpg has been decreasing as the oil life percentage is decreasing. Bery, Bery interesting!

I have an 06 Civic EX coupe with automatic. Very pleased with the mileage. Just got back from a trip to the mountains, round trip a little over 600 miles of driving. Car has about 1300 miles on it now - back roads, not over 65, kept tach under 3K most of the time. Round trip avg was 39.25. On the way home, 200 miles after leaving the stop and go of the mountains and small cities, averaged just below 43 mpg. Neat little car.
