I did a search and it came back with way too many results and most were just "if I do this, will this happen to my gas mileage" kind of questions.

But I just want to know what is the average gas mileage on a '95 Honda Civic ex? My fuel gauge has been broken for 2 months so I've just been counting the miles and I thought I was getting about 24 mpg but today I only added 2 gallons before the tank filled up so I obviously get more. Anyone know the average miles?

You can keep a chart that watches what your gas mileage is compared to what it's "supposed" to be.

 

I would say roughly 250-300 miles per tank...

 

Thanks, one more question.
What gallon size tank does the civic I mentioned above come with? I heard it was a 10gallon or a 12gallon.

 

11.9

 

According to the government, this is what a '95 Civic EX should be getting:

4 cylinder, 1.6L, Manual 5-speed, (FFS), Regular
25 mpg city (old rating is 29 mpg)
32 mpg highway (old rating is 35 mpg)
28 mpg combined (old rating is 31 mpg)
297.5 miles per tank city / 380.8 miles per tank (333.2 miles per tank combined)

4 cylinder, 1.6L, Automatic 4-speed, (FFS), Regular
23 mpg city (old rating is 26 mpg)
31 mpg highway (old rating is 34 mpg)
26 mpg combined (old rating is 29 mpg)
273.7 miles per tank city / 368.9 miles per tank (309.4 miles per tank combined)

 

Thanks NOFX, thats exactly what I was looking for.

 

If anyone else wants to look anything up:

That's a very useful chart. I wonder if the old numbers were before the 10% ethanol?

According to his profile he's hypermiling.

It's very unsafe.

Look up information on how to be a hypermiler. You'll see what they do. There's been a few news stories here on it. Some are good ideas but some are very bad ideas.
