Now these are the responses that I have been trying to get. This helps me and probably a lot of others to realize and understand.

I also was thinking I was accelerating to slow and dragging out the gear to long rather then getting to the desired speed and then pulse and glide or coast.

I have been shutting off the a/c when I am pulling a hill or needing to speed up like getting on the freeway. And it helps.

My last civic was the same year make model and I remember getting 280-320 to the tank averaging 32-38 mpg and that was just driving however now I have this civic and I am trying to get the best gas mileage and I get the same as I would with the old civic without trying. Haha
