I availed myself of Ecomodder's Garage to log the fill-ups of my 2008 Civic EX (manual transmission) called "CuteNiceButNotTheSame".

On its 100th fill-up: 46.11mpg.

The little beastie has had a few 45+mpg fill-ups over the past few weeks. But usually it's in the low 40's, which isn't bad. This fill-up may have been helped by recent maintenance service (including an oil change).

No mods...Just the usual modding of the driver when bludgeoned with the stark reality of a ScanGaugeII. Plus the summer weather helps. It seems to be doing slightly better on gas this summer than last. Maybe it's finally broken in after 40,000 miles? :-)
