It looks like the 2006 is gonna be rated 50/55 mpg compared to 46/51 for the "Civic 1" MT or 48/47 for the CVT. I think it should have its own bar. What cha think?

I beleive Jason said it was going to get its own entry.

Hi Lakedude:

___Jason will definitely have to add an HCH-II specific section to the RHMDB.

___In regards to 50/55 city/highway, I am seeing Honda advertisements all over stating 50/50? Do you have a link?

___Good Luck

Yes, it will definitely be separated. Once I see there are 2006 Civics in the database, I'll make room for it. It doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 2006's are included.

Visit my newly-acquired website, Volconvo Debate Forums!

i thought it was 50/50 too


edit:
civic hybrid epa mileage specs

Actaully the Honda website's spec's say 49/51. Here is the link

I saw a review on Automobile .com (http://car-reviews.automobile.com/Ho...ad-test/1516/2) the other day that listed the 50/55 number I lakedude listed

2006 Honda Civic Hybrid Road Test

To answer the second part, how it performs from a fuel consumption and environmental perspective, I dont think youll be disappointed either. Where the conventionally-powered Civic achieves an impressive 30 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway, the new Civic Hybrid delivers a stunning 50 mpg city and 55 mpg highway rating, allowing it a maximum driving range of about 600 miles per tank-full. Whats more, the Civic Hybrid manages Advanced-Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) certification.

I saw a Honda commerical the other day claiming that the HCH-II gets 50/50 (they actually enumerated city and highway). The Honda specs available on the website say 49/51. Of course, we all know exactly how accurate the EPA estimates really are. The true empirical test will come when the new Civic gets a sizeable cohort in our RHMDB. I can't wait!

They also say on page 2:

Whoops, doesn't happen. Did they actually take it for a test drive? I'm pleased that they were so impressed by it, but it looks like someone didn't do their research.
