Holy crap cbxtc6, that is a huge commute! I thought mine was bad, but you are, without a doubt getting your moneys worth from the Civic. I like the mileage that your are posting too. The one thing about my drive is that there is a bunch of 30-50mph driving, and I am trying to coast more than before. I'm trying to figure out the best acceleration method. Any pointers? I'm using the cruise where I can, but its tough in this traffic. I'm still getting getting the hang of driving a bit slower. It feels strange getting past up, or watching someone weaving traffic behind me. Nerve racking.

With your average, it seems you can get about 4 days out of a tank? That is incredible. 800 miles per week is an out-house full of driving. Speaking of that, the seats are pretty good in the Civic.

The best seats of our vehicles are in our truck. My wife loves our 4 door Dodge Dakota. Great for our almost 2 year old. Easy to get in and out, but not a minivan. It is a 2wd, but has the 4.7 V8, and good torque.
Mileage is not so good. I'd guess around 16mpg.

I'd have to say though, if someone is a bit on the plump side, the Civic seats might be a tight fit. May be that extra umph needed to get into the gym.
