I recently purchased a 2011 Civic LX 5-speed auto and it has no problem achieving 40-44 MPG highway at 65-70 MPH, even with the A/C running. I just recently picked up a SGII for it and I've been seeing 50 MPG on highway trips through the hills of Pennsylvania so long as I keep the A/C to a minimum and keep the speed to around 60 MPH.
