This one appears to have some mods I'd wanna chack out carefully... to my knowledge no DX came with a moon roof. And I'm pretty sure the EPA Ffuel economy numbers the add quotes are for the HX. The DX is more like 27 city, 30 combined, and 34 highway, using the post 2008 EPA ratings.

When you search the fueleconomy.gov site from the home page you see the various FE estimates: Fuel Economy of 1997 Honda Civic

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
