'06 Civic Mileage
 

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
 

2006 Civic Ex. manual transmission 32 mpg. on first tank City and
highway driving. In Los Angeles..

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.

Just filled mine, first tank, and it was 36 mpg. Mostly highway (80%)
and running about 80 mph most of the time.

Very first tank (filled by the dealership at delivery -- unsure how
'topped up' -- yields 29.8 mpg. Mixed driving, lots of rural
steady-speed stuff, 55 - 60 mph with cruise control set.

Interesting answers for this post. 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.

I had a loaner 1.8L with 200 miles on it and I got 30mpg in mixed driving.
it's not broken in yet.

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,,,

Thats my car and I am closing in on 5k now and last fill up mixed
driving mostly highway and i averaged 26mpg. 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.

Thought I had seen your post -- gives some perspective. Puzzling though,
new cars getting 36mpg. Perhaps weather and the type of gas are factors.
Still think you should be getting better mileage. I get that on an 01
Prelude running 80 on the highway and running it up into the VTEC. But,
then I have use premium.

Re: '06 Civic Mileage
 

Gas mileage can varry a lot from car to car. My Brother and my mom both had
99 tercels. Back in 99 when the cars were both new, they went to a gas
station both filled up, and hit the road. My moms was down to a quarter
tank of gas left, and my brother still had half a tank? go figure
