I think that in general, the 8th gen manual Civics do better in the city, whereas the automatics have a taller final gear which gives them the advantage on the highway.

My current 33.9 is my average since purchasing the car which only has 3k miles on it right now. In addition, I have yet to log any tanks with the use of my new SGII yet. Right now, my tank average is about 38 MPG which has been over my daily commute (mix of 70% hilly highway [2-mile long, 5% grades] and 30% windy, hilly country roads with some city).
