Honda Civic is surprising
Anytime the price of gasoline rises significantly, many prospective car
buyers think maybe they should veer away from the big chug-a-luggers
and buy something that sips the increasingly precious fuel.

But, most people around here in mid GA drive full-sized pickups or XL

The guy's driving an EX, and he mentions the disk front / drum rear

take a look at the rear wheel?

Probably not that well versed with Hondas to notice that the EX for 06 has
rear discs. He sounded like a Ford man.
