| I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I have my new civic for about
1300 miles now and i am averaging 20 miles city driving and 30 highway.
mixed driving 25-27mpg. I am to bring the car back to the dealer to get it
checked. The car doesnt coast well. It actually slows down on slight
declines in road. Very disturbing since i purchased this car for the
mileage. My 2 cents.

YOU'RE NOT EVEN BROKEN IN YET! Quit yer bellyachin'.
Give it at *LEAST* 5K, and even better, *10K* before you see your REAL
mileage.
As far as the coasting, it probably has to do with the EPA-encouraged
computerized tranny. Give it some time to learn your driving habits.

I feel like a broken record. 
Your mileage should improve after about 5000 miles.
Check your tire pressures. Under-inflated tires will increase your fuel
consumption.
If you are a lead-foot driver, that will also increase consumption. >> Stay informed about: 2006 Civic EX |

Another factor: If the weather is becoming colder where you are, that will
also increase your fuel consumption. >> Stay informed about: 2006 Civic EX |

My Integra got 19mpg in its first 5K. That improved to about 27 by 10K.
