Just another civic
Bought a 96 civic dx to be my dd. My mazdaspeed 3 is lucky to get 15+ when I'm hard on it. Over 400whp never lends itself to responsible driving to get the best gas mileage.
The civic had 250k on it when I bought it, and a few thousand miles later was misfiring to hell. Was getting like <30mpg at that point.
Compression across cylinders was 145-70-85-145. So instead of trying to repair the engine that leaked oil from every orifice the exhaust, i found a newer one with 42k miles on it.
So hopefully it now lasts with a owner who will take care of it.
