no disrespect...but you need to drive faster. It has nothing to do with owning a civic, you just need to drive faster LOL

I drove my civic 1250 miles from Kentucky to Colorado drafting the Uhaul with a 2007 mustang being pulled behind it, first stop was 32.61 MPG, second 39 MPG, 3rd 40.54 MPG, 4th 41.08 MPG, and then the last fill was after all the uphill climbing @ 36.42 MPG... All I have to say about that trip is that Kansas is the worst state to drive through... We stopped 5 times because the uhaul drank gas... it was getting 6mpg the whole time. Most of the drive was @ 75 mph

Even though I have a manual, it was full of crap for the whole trip...

I was still really impressed with the gas mileage though, made me happy

Used to a POS 3.8L V6 getting 14-18.

its hard to drive fast when the limit is 55 and you see a popo every 5 minutes and uhaul sucks a big one, we drove one in town a total of 10 miles and it got 2 mpg lol. i cant imagine driving one on the interstate it already wanted to fall apart going 35mph.

i hear that i just got a ticket for $350 for doing 72 in a 65.

[gearbox]

lol thats crazy! 350 isnt that for going 25+ over the limit? around here its maybe 150 for 10 over.

[sk8nbmxr411]

I got pulled over for doing 72 in 65! The cop said it smelt like i had been smoking, which i had not done in long time . Soo he got his dog (with my consent because i hardly ever smoke in my car) and burried way under my seat was a small joint roach that he said i was smoking while he pulled me over so i got a DUI. Long story short i had to pay about $800 i tickets just for going 7 miles over the speed limit. Lessons learned:1 Don't speed 2 Don't do drugs... in your car and 3 NEVER EVER give consent to a search big mistake!

[gearbox]

that sucks man, but unfortunately if you said no to the search, he wouldve brought the dog anyway. and if dog signals that there are drugs, he is allowed to search. always keep the car clean! esp inbetween the seat cushions. i found all sorts of money when i went cleaning the seats and floors.

[sk8nbmxr411]

This was in my Sentra and i keep my cars pretty clean it just happened to get its way deep down in there. Bad luck or something. But that is just my winter beater now and l would never smoke in the civic.Pretty close to problem solved haha.

and i get like 35mpg with my civic its amazing!!

[jgg204]

i have a 2003 honda civic lx coupe AT and the highest i ever got was 34.2 mpg
