EPA estimates, which Honda used in their advertising at the time, were 49/51. I average 39 mpg, with my highest tank netting 42 mpg. I now have 30k+ miles on the car. I have taken it to five (5) Honda dealerships and basically get, "that's too bad". Same with Honda corporate. I even had Honda personnel drive with me to verify my driving habits (conservative, I've always exceeded mpg estimates on ALL my other cars). On Honda Service test drives, they reportedly got 51 mpg and 45 mpg. I would be happy getting 45 mpg. On a random review of five other random Honda Civic owners (various years), I've been told they get from 42 to 55 mpg, but I cannot speak to these driver's habits. That said, I like this car very much, but would really like to have it fixed so that I receive the mpg as advertised.

I have been to the dealership at least 7 times the past year, and no one can tell me why my miles per gallon is 22-35... when the car is supposed to get 62+!!! It has been a real nightmare. I have been given a loaner vehicle on 4 occasions, and finally the corporate office has got involved, and told the dealership, what to adjust, tune, trim, they ram state of the art tests and now finally, everything seems to be ok. It has been a year of sheer hell. First, replacement of faulty wheel bearings, recalls, computer upgrades, tire adjustments. Time will tell if I will get anywhere near what Honda tells me the car is now getting... 72 mpg's!!! Can't wait.
