Default Whats your gas mileage like?

I get about 185 miles to a full tank (which takes about $16 to fill). Does this seem low to anyone? My rides a 95 Civic EX.

Also, how many miles can you get to a full tank? Thanks.

I get a whopping 24mpg. That's approx 280 miles per tank. Our civic sees "mom" duty only.

Long distance trip, we averaged 31mpg.

97 civic lx stock (except tires, oil, etc.)

My 99 chevy 4x4 extended cab gets about 19mpg in town with an engine that is 3 times the size of the civic engine and a weight 2.5 times that of the civic. What's up with that?

I guess I've been pushing my VTEC a bit hard then, my MPG really sucks. How big is the gas tank on a 95 EX anyway? 10 gallons or so?

I usually get about 30-35mpg in the city, but I've gotten close to 50mpg on the highway in my HX.

Got over 37 mpg on my last tank. This is in a turbo y7 (all highway miles though) and I do boost quite often!!! I usually go about 300-325 miles before my fuel pump starts making the sucking noise.

About 31 MPG on my '92 CX with a slightly blown headgasket and flooring it too often because it's so slow.

Wow, very low. If I go to E then it's about 320 miles for 10 gallons. If I go about 3/4 of the way down it's about 280 miles for 8.5-9 gallons. I average around 32 mpg in city/freeway and 34-36 mpg with lots of freeway. This is a '97 D16Y8 Civic with 66000 miles.
