The '94 Civic LX has an 11.9 gallon gas tank.

Highway miles for it should be (according to the EPA's new standards) 36mpg for a manual and 33mpg for an automatic. The old window stickers read 40 and 36 respectively though.

I've been getting 38 mpg pretty regularly. Actually got 41 on my last tank. I'd say it's about 60% highway, and little stop and go traffic.

I get better gas mileage just from tracking mine. It helps keep my driving form in check.

Well, you're not supposed to be getting 35 mpg though.

Even if you were getting 35 mpg, you'd probably fill up far before you got close to that.

When I get about 35mpg I still fill up around 8-9 gallons, so I end up around 300 miles or so on the odometer.
