daily commute is fairly easy about half city half freeway and 12 miles. I have many opportunities for coasting with engine off.

After getting involved in this I am really regretting my decision to sell the civic years ago. Though at the time I wanted fast cars...

You all are right, 50mpg will be tough. I'm thinking of getting a used tranny and engine from the bone yard. Rebuild them to tip top shape then drop in the pair. Then go through and replace/repack wheel bearings. yadda yadda. We'll see. This site is full of idea's for mods.
