Did you say whether yours has the AT or the MT? I thought it was MT. If it is MT look up a car on this site (now retired) called the "PaleCivic." It is a 1996 Civic DX ... the owner of the car (still active here) did almost no mods but if you look at the fuel log for it you'll see he routinely pulled 70s and even 90s n MPG in it. He had almost ideal conditions, but it still proves what devoted hypermiling alone can do. He drives a Fit now and gets 60s MPG out of it (it's heavier and has shorter gearing).

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.
