Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 20052006 Civic EX
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I have my new civic for about 1300 miles now and i am averaging 20 miles city driving and 30 highway. mixed driving 25-27mpg. I am to bring the car back to the dealer to get it checked. The car doesnt coast well. It actually slows down on slight declines in road. Very disturbing since i purchased this car for the mileage. My 2 cents. > I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I have my new civic for about > 1300 miles now and i am averaging 20 miles city driving and 30 highway. > mixed driving 25-27mpg.

Under-inflated tires will increase your fuel consumption. If you are a lead-foot driver, that will also increase consumption. >> I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Another factor: If the weather is becoming colder where you are, that will also increase your fuel consumption. > I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Quit yer bellyachin'. Give it at *LEAST* 5K, and even better, *10K* before you see your REAL mileage. As far as the coasting, it probably has to do with the EPA-encouraged computerized tranny. Give it some time to learn your driving habits. SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ my '04, at *13,000* miles, is finally starting to get decent mileage. I just got almost 32 in mixed! >> I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
