I just got a 2010 Civic EX Coupe and I haven't had a chance to run a full tank through it yet to check pump vs SGII but I just did my best trip (per my SGII) since I got it last Monday. This was 45 miles from Exton, PA to Deptford, NJ via RT 202 > 76 > 42.

Mods:

Tire pressure @ 44psi
a really really light foot on the gas

So light that my foot is actually killing me from keeping the pedal just barely pressed. I try to keep my TPS reading under 18 at all times even if that means accelerating slower. I manage to keep it in 5th (this is an auto) as much as possible with the techniques I've read on this forum and others. My speed is correct on my speedometer, SGII and confirmed via GPS.

And this is the result.. which honestly I can't believe is correct. I have my fuel cut off set to 16 (idle = 12 + 4 per manual) and engine set to 1.8 liters, everything else set to defaults. 52.4 MPG. I have a photo of my SG but I can't post it until I hit 5.

Is there any way possible this is actually correct?
