MPG in my Civic EX
The mpg seems to be coming up in the 06 EX Civic. I did a 346 mile round trip in it yesterday and got a 42 mpg tank. I drove the speed limits or under. More than my share of coasting with ice off. Speed limits where from 25 mph to 75 mph. Yes theres some 75 mph road work on that tank. I hope they keep going up. I dont think 45 mpg is out of the question on this same trip at 5k miles on the car. It seems to have started to brake in very nice at 3k miles. :) :shade:

Wow, that's pretty good. Imagine what you could get in a Hybrid?!?

Very good-CR showed a drop in city mpg.
psyshack-very good.I was a little disappointed in CR's city loop numbers on the 2006.They showed 18 city and 43 hy for the 2006 auto-the 2005 was 22 city and 40 hy for the auto.Maybe it was winter testing,or just a fluke-but it was hard to believe that Honda would produce a Civic that got barely better city mpg than the Accord(or the Focus ).
Do you have anyway to check your city mpg-Scanguage?Thanks.Charlie |

I've got a 2006 EX automatic and was rather horrified at the mileage I was getting with it (initial tanks were 29MPG - 32MPG). I have no highway driving in my trips, most of it is 40-50mph traffic light broken stuff. I've got about 1000 miles on her now and got 36mpg on the last tank, thats with very easy driving (just creaping the speed up and letting it coast way in advance of red lights). My previous experience driving Honda's had me thinking it would be no problem to beat the highway MPG for my average MPG as I always had with 2 previous Honda's. This is not the case for me, at least so far, for the 06 Civic Auto. |
