1st 89 Honda Civic hatchback 4 speed manual
EPA 31(?)/36 (?)
My ave 36mpg (85% freeway), max. 39mpg (99% freeway)
The first car I buy it with my own pocket money (not driving the car from family) 4 speed is kind of noisy in freeway (still much better than Ford Festiva), but has good acceleration. My brother took it and ended up in junk yard.
2nd 91 Honda Civic DX hatchback 5 speed manual
EPA 31/36
My ave 36mpg.
Love it. I own it when I was in U. Buy it $2700, sell it $2500 after 40K driving. Not bad.
3rd 97 Honda Civic CX hatchback 5 speed manual
EPA 34/38
My ave 36mpg, max 40mpg
I love this car a lot. Save a lot of gas. I knew nothing about hypermiling, just cruise at 70mph and pass 40 mark. The only bad thing is no AC. Too hot in the summer.....
4th 04 Scion XB 5door 5 speed manual
EPA 27/32 (2008 standard)
My ave 32mpg (before gas price goes up), 38mpg (current) max 39mpg
This is the best car I ever own. It has all powered equipments (power door, window, lock, steering, ABS, traction control and the most important, A/C) I didn't have in any previous cars. And also, is the most spacious car I ever sit, very practical when the seat is folded down (good help for moving, it fits a twin size mattress).
