hard to beat a VX.
I've gotten into Hondas in a big way - one of my 16 year old, male, teenagers gets 44 mpg (miles divided by gallons) driving to and from highschool and zipping out for lunch and mostly city driving. He drives a 91 CRX DX with ac and power steering.
My other teenager male drives an 88 acura integra with multiport DX engine. He gets 42, but it is a 4 door, and his commute to and from work is better for mileage (averages 45 mph with timed lights along the way.)
A buddy drives a 93 Civic DX hatch and gets 48.
I guess my point is the DX Honda Civics don't get quite the mpg of a VX, but they are a LOT easier to find.
Weak points: need timing belts every 100k miles, and fuel pumps every 150k miles.
