Default What do you 8th Geners get for mileage?

Just curios. I'd really like to buy one but am a bit concerned on mileage?

I would probably be looking at a 4 door automatic for my wife

Also, how much you guys think I could get one for?

Matt

You can bank on about 28-38 for the Civic Sedan.

Of course, everyone is going to tell you that they get 65mpg+.

With mixed freeway/around town,the best I've got out of my Si is 33mpg average. So I'd imagine depending on how you drive you could get more with the R18.

^Damn I cant believe you get that good in the Si's??? I've always heard from people how terrible the mileage is in them.

But I'd assume the 1.8 would do better huh?

I don't get anywhere near that mileage on my Si. However I do like to drive above 2500rpm so that could be the case.

In your case that depends on the car you get, i'd have to assume the 1.8 is better than the 2.0 on miles and if you get a hybrid your mileage will be amazing.

I for one don't have any complaints on my mileage and I'm running a 2 door Si.

Same here. I cruise at about 4k. Probably only get about 220 miles per tank, but then again I only put about 180 miles on it per week.

A majority of the people here own SIs as opposed to regular civics.

I suppose that most SI owners generally tend to be more concerned with engine tech than most regular Civic owners.

I guess that does make sense.

I'm seeing decent numbers from some of these guys. I'd wager that a regular 1.8 civic would be much better then?

I consistantly get 29-30 mpg in the Si, thats about 2/3 miles highway and 1/3 miles city driving per tank. Sometimes Ill pull off a 31 or a 33 mpg tank, but thats an all highway tank.

I've been pulling similar numbers. The desert really takes away from your throttle response, while also having one's ac on 24/7 doesn't help mileage either.
