I had some spare time to add up mileage logs from last year-
15156 miles on 456 gallons.
Summer is about 2 miles better, winter 2 miles lower.
Less highway driving in winter and 15% ethanol gasoline.
I suspect cold may be a factor too.

So what is the seceret of your excellent mileage? The car is only rated 18/26 by EPA and Consumer Reports only managed 30 mpg in their highway driving (there highway driving is at relatively slow speeds).

My 07 EX-L V6 6MT averaged 33 MPG on 6 trips from Louisiana to Florida between February 07 and May 07, which was a tad bit above sticker. Of course in October 07 it was declared a total loss and I wasn't about to pay sticker price and wait 3 months to take delivery of a 2008 EX-L V6 6MT coupe. Don't get me wrong, Honda makes a great car, but I NEVER pay sticker price for a vehicle. >> Stay informed about: 33 mpg 2004 Civic

I can't speak for "nullity", but I my secret is cruise control. My '01 EX-V6 that currently has 197,00 miles on it, in summer driving, consistently gets around 29MPG on my 170 mile round trip commute (mostly highway). From Fishkill, NY, I-84 west, I-87 south, NJ/RT-17 south, some back roads to NJ/RT-3 east to office in Secaucus, NJ. Reverse to get home. On I-87 cruise is set to ~72. On I-84 cruise is set to ~62. On NJ/RT-17 just going with traffic. No hard starts or stops, just take it easy. Tires inflated a bit on the highside. >> Stay informed about: 33 mpg 2004 Civic

My Civic is now 5 years old and since new is averaging 37 mpg (45mpg UK gallon). This local (rural not urban) and motorway use. Most important factors, light foot, keep speed to posted limits (70 mph motorway). At £1.03/litre (US$7.7/gallon) economy is paramount! >> Stay informed about: 33 mpg 2004 Civic

I found my original del sol window sticker it says 40mpg hwy but I've never logged it officially. I also removed the spare tired never been used and the jack to save a few pounds for extra mileage gains.I was considering getting a 350z but gas prices are high. I'll stick with my 93 civic del sol for now only 60k orig miles, this car still turns heads. Could be because I drive naked with a sign on my head that says stare at me. But I really think its my OEM wing.Yeah baby I don't get it either just go with it. >> Stay informed about: 33 mpg 2004 Civic
