33 mpg last tank on 05 civic ex. good?
5 speed manual, city/highway mix. Shift at 3k rpms. I feel like I should be getting at least 35 with a city/highway mix though I did use the AC quite frequently this tank.

probably just a difference in driving styles. i tend to be fairly conservative. no point wasting gas. i also run premium (have to have it for when i run nitrous) which for me has made a difference. mine is a 5 speed which can make a difference. tire pressure. lots of things can effect gas milage

45 highway is very good. i do mostly highway, pretty conservative, always below 70mph and my best was 38. i guess nyc highway is like city driving compared to where you live since theres always traffic.
