I've only had my Civic for barely a month now. Have about 1K miles on it. The most miles I've gotten on a full tank of gas was 322 miles. And that was with the fuel light on. that's an avg of just about 30mpg. I'd say 80-90% of those miles are freeway miles. I thought I should be doing better than this! Is it becuz my car is new?? Anyone done any better? Post how many total miles you've gotten on a full tank of gas!!

id say thats pretty good considering the most I have gotten so far on my Mugen is about 290!

It will get better. I started out at 27mpg mixed city/highway in my 07 LX coupe, but at 12k miles I started getting 35 mixed city/highway. Now I get 39mpg highway and can easliy get 460miles per tank before I start worrying about running out of gas.

well the big thing is if you have an si or ex,lx. Cause i know my friend gets about 310miles in his si but i've gotten 430 on the highway. And usally about 360 every tank with normal driving.

That's good news! Thanks for the info bro. Makes me feel a lot better!! I have an EX, which is the exact same engine as the LX, so lookin forward to gettin that 400 miles + on a full tank of gas in the next year! BTW, are you using syntethic oil and do you have any engine mods done (ie - spark plugs, cool air-intake, etc.)? Maybe that could be the reason why also. Thanks again bro!

Thanks for the response bro. I have an EX. But I though the EX and LX have the same engine. Only the Si has the bigger one. What model do u have? If your getting near 360 miles on a full tank, that's not too bad. Any mods on the engine?

Rallye_Red08

On an SI!

My light comes on around 270 miles.... If I tried to go over 300, I know I would run out of gas....

I don't drive it that hard either.......

WTF!

i feel ya men most of the time its 265-280 when gas light comes on.

i-spit-hotfire

I barely hit 300 with very conservative driving, even when you calculate mpg i get 28 at best

geeman640

In my 06 Si I get at least 300 per tank. I average about 28.5mi/gal. This tank has A LOT of highway miles on it aned I'm going to get about 350 miles off this tank I think.

yuning83

my ex had 445 miles from last tank with 1 bar and fuel light on. 30/70 city/freeway.

iceboi714

Yea.....07 SI Sedan......usually get a light aroudn 270-280...most i gone up to with the light is 295...but then i was getting scared of running out of gas...lol

elementalpuck

Absolutely. I've got up to 40.3mpg in one stretch on a trip from Phoenix to Orlando. I get better mileage at 56,000 miles than when it was new. I average 33 in Phoenix, city driving with A/C blasting whole time. I assume my '06 EX is about the same as yours. I notice a BIG difference with the tire pressure. A few psi can make a few MILES per gallon difference.

Red4drLSintegra

ive gotten a little over 400 with mostly freeway driving and i have a new 08 4dr lx

dut

Just got my EX the other week and getting the same exact results as you. I hear MPG gets better over time.

JforJonathan

yeah i think mine averages 290-300

Dave421

07 Si Sedan and I've gotten 360 before the light came on with mostly highway. Typically I get around 300-310 before the light comes on with mixed city/highway. I drive fairly aggressively with at least a few redline shifts a day but I also drive in high gears. Normal driving, I'm in 6th gear if I'm doing 40+, I just accelerate quickly.

Dr. D-Series

06 manual lx sedan. 40k miles.

415 last week, a bit of it was highway.
Usually 360 + no matter what.

Mr. DB2

08 Si Sedan
City driving around 240.
With some hwy mixed about 275.
But I live in the mountains.

Mik3

Si: 330 half city/half highway

light throttle FTW
65mph max FTW

Same here, I can easily get over 300 just interstae driving

FG2-JOE

the most i got was 270 with mods...
most were all city driving

I used to get 20mpg cos I'd shift between 2.4-3.5k rpms driving regularly. However, I've been trying to be conservative and tried driving like a grandpa (shifting no higher than 2000 rpms... and to my amazement, I just went over 315 (with 3 bars left on my guage) on a full tank of gas. Driving like an old geezer may sound boring, and is pretty irritating when you have tail-gaiters, but it's worth testing out. I drive an 07 ASM 4dr Si btw with an Injen CAI, test-pipe, and ground wires. A dollar saved is a dollar earned!
