2006 Civic Fuel Mileage
Anyone have any real world numbers for their 2006 Civic fuel mileage?
The brochure says 8.2L/100km city and 5.7L/100km highway. I'm averaging 9.2 ('06 Civic LX - A/T). I even changed my driving habits to try and conserve fuel. What's everyone else getting? Steve |
Re: 2006 Civic Fuel Mileage
Just made a 7000 mile trip from Los Angeles to Michigan via I-70 and
I-80, 2006 Civic EX 5 speed manual transmission and 9000 miles on engine at 70 -75 mph. The gas mileage was between 36 and 40 mpg. In city driving before the trip I got 36 mpg.

Re: 2006 Civic Fuel Mileage
36mpg is 6.5L/100km. Maybe there is something wrong with my car.

Re: 2006 Civic Fuel Mileage
It might also depend on where you live and how you drive. We own 3 cars and
the best one, a '97 Toyota Corolla DX 1.8 auto, gets approximately 9.5L/100km city and around 7L/100km highway (at 120-140 km/h). <stevemackie@gmail.com> wrote in news: 1149083442.532494.202650@u72g2000cwu.googlegroups. com... > 36mpg is 6.5L/100km.

Also, there is 1500km on my car. I live on the coast. Have to let it break

Re: 2006 Civic Fuel Mileage
I have never been so disappointed in a car as I am with my brand new Civic
06 EX. I had owned two Accords prior to this one and took the chance at going a step down to the Civic in order to try and combat the local $3.35 gas prices here in Southern California. Well, the only time I get the stated mileage is when I am in open freeway with no air conditioning on. At that time I get about 40mpg. Turn the air on though and my mileage drops to about 28mpg. Combine that with stop and go traffic and I am lucky to get 26. So, essentially I am averaging about the same as I was with the Accord. With the Accords I have owned I consistently got between 28 and 33 no matter what kind of conditions, air on or not. Whatsmore, the air conditioning on the Civic leaves a lot to be desired and the AM radio sounds like people are talking into a wet rag. I do like the design of the Civic, I do like the slightly smaller build, it IS a rather peppy car for its engine size, and I just love the navigation system, but I have never regretted a car purchase in all my 45 years of driving until this one.
