Re: '06 Civic Mileage
I'll know by the end of the week.
I bought a grey sedan (4-door) EX over the weekend, and it's now under a half tank at about 225 miles. I'll fill it Friday and calculate. higgledy wrote: > Anyone with a new Civic willing to share real-world gas mileage? BTW, I > really love the look of this gen Civic.

Mixed driving, lots of rural steady-speed stuff, 55 - 60 mph with cruise control set.

In an earlier post I recall reading where an 06 Civic owner was getting in the mid or low 20s which was dismissed because the car was not broken in -- after 4,000 miles. The mileage quoted here is what I would expect even on new cars.

Re: '06 Civic Mileage
I had a loaner 1.8L with 200 miles on it and I got 30mpg in mixed driving.
it's not broken in yet. Rocky "higgledy" <higgledy@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1139424068.096820.162250@g14g2000cwa.googlegr oups.com... > Anyone with a new Civic willing to share real-world gas mileage? BTW, I > really love the look of this gen Civic. Not an "economy" car anymore. >

Re: '06 Civic Mileage
Low to mid 20's??? I think it impossible to get those numbers unless
the guy was running in low gear!!! The auto trans sedan has a final gear ratio in 5th of 2.33:1!! That figures to about 2600 rpm at about 79/80. It is just designed from the ground up to get good mileage,,,

I live in PA and weather has turned cold not sure if this is a factor. My old cadillac got same mileage in mixed driving. Im thinking I should have got the accord.
