2003 EX coupe auto
45k
regular 87 octane
mostly highway, I drive kinda fast but not a hard accelerator - 80'ish mph avg. almost always use a/c
get about 330 until the low fuel light on most fuels, get 340-360 on bp fuel. If it's 100% highway I expect 360 out of it.
Stock everything mechanical.
Oil changed at dealer, whatever stock oil type is.

Rep Power: 0 Some of you guys get really good mileage! Dang.. my car has been well maintained, and I'm the only owner.. it's clean, nicely driven, always changed oil.. wonder why I am not getting the milage of the others. Must be the occasional road rage/more aggressive driving style? I am jelous of these 03's getting over 400 miles on one tank.. I don't even dream of that, 360 makes my day a happy one! hehe

the only way to get hi mileage is with constant freeway driving, not alot of accessories on, using cruise, around 65mph or 55. In the city, I only get around 20-24mpg.

33-34 for entire 8,000 miles that are on it mostly 50-50 driving.
5w-20 Mobil 1 after breakin period.
Doesn't seem to matter what I do I always get the same mileage.
I haven't been on any long trips to see what it will get on all highway but I would hope it would get closer to 40.

I went on a little drive and gassed up at an interstate Mobil station this past weekend.
I drove all the miles in one day, and it was 95% on the highway, about 5% on back country roads around 45-50mph with few stops. Somehow I pulled 407.8 miles out of one tank of regular before the low fuel light came on. I stopped very soon to fill up after seeing the light and the car would only take 9.28gal. I think the gas I refilled with was foaming up, and there was open space that could not be filled in the tank. If the tank were actually full, I would have gotten 43.94mpg on that trip!
It is the BEST I've ever seen out of the civic as far as mileage goes. I know a lot is attributed to constant driving without the acceleration, the weather probably helped.. and who knows.. maybe fluke gasoline that was extra good? Previously 360mi was about the best I could hope for, now I have seen it go beyond +40 miles of what I thought was the best it could do.
I'm not saying yet that Mobil gas is greatest, but I am certainly going to try it again and see if my mileage stays high. I was shocked when it hit 400 and even more when it kept going past 400. It's a good thing, especially now.. last week it was $3.59 for regular here.. today it's 2.99 in a lot of stations. I guess that is somthing to be happy about? sad, eh?

Rep Power: 0 first tank of gas i got 33mpg
second tank of gas i got 26mpg
still on the third, its a hair above half and i've only gone 110 miles or so
i'm still trying to figure out why my mileage sucks ***. i like the car but i've been pretty dissappointed with the mpg. the ****ing sticker says 32 city. i get 26 city/highway. wtf. i'm about to try going to another gas station.
-what vehicle is it? (include year, make, model, auto/manual?)
2005 civic LX-se 5 speed, 1000 miles on the odometer
-what grade gasoline? (IE: 87 reg, 89 plus, etc)
exxon 87 reg
-how are your driving habits? (granny, tracking, fairly hard, highway, city, include details)
daily is about 10 miles city 10 miles highway
i keep it between 2.5-4k mostly
a/c on and off
i get on the throttle if i need to
-what are your mods (only state the mods that could affect mileage IE: intake, exhaust, wheels, etc)
bone stock, se package
-what grade motor oil was used when this record of mileage was counted? (IE: 5w-20/5w-30/etc)
