I have a '95 EX Sedan 5 speed that I've been driving since early
Summer. I average 35-41 mpg in driving that is about 3/4 highway, 1/4
city. The precious owner, who I assume spent some time in stopped
traffic, averaged about 32. If you are driving a hatchback you probably
have a different engine (mine is the 1.6 VTEC) and may get different
results. My gas guage is also off: it reads about 1/4 tank too low. I
feel comfortable going 300 miles between fillups.

   BTW, do you find that your car is geared too high, that the jump
from secong to third is way too large...?

I just bought a 95 Honda Civic EX. Vtec with 5speed manual
transmission.

The gas gauge does not work. The previous owner told me "to be safe"
fill the tank every 200 miles. When I do this, It usually takes about
5.5 gallons.

I was wondering if other civic owners can tell me what their average
total miles per tank full they get (based on the 5speed). I drive
mostly highways @ 65mph & I usually shift at 2.5 on the tach.

I drive 100 miles everyday, and it sucks filling up every two days. I
plan on getting the gauge fixed, but with my work schedule I wont have
time for about a month.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jesse
