Hello Everyone,

I have owned my civic for almost 2 weeks now, and am wondering what others get for gas mileage.

I know it will get better but I thought i'd be doing alot better than what i am doing now.

I do alot of driving in one day for my work and need an economical vehicle, i have heard good things about the civic and their gas mileage.


Thank you.

My gas mileage has improved over the 5000 miles I have on the car. I just don't know how much but it's noticeable.

Thank you both of you.

I figured that my car gets about 480 km's on a tank so not great at all but i hope it will change soon. My sunfire gets about 615 km's on one tank same tank size. That took about a year to get that way though i am not sure how much it used to start with.

Not a really bad thing since it is a little better than the vehicle i replaced. i had a 98 Chevy Blazer and it just drank the gas. 450 km's per 60 litre tank.

Other than that I just love the car.

I always get a consistent 36 to 38.5 mpg's. My driving consists of about 70% highway, 30% in town. I usually drive 425 miles before filing up. Its a 5 speed manual Civic LX.

Always remember that an engine still breaks in after what they call "breakin".

I read an article a few years back stating an engine truely breaks in after 20,000 miles where it reaches it full potential.
