That is quite interesting considering the similarities between the two cars:

Mirage and Civic have similar engine size (1.2 vs 1.3)
Mirage and Civic have CVT transmissions
Mirage and Civic have similar CDA figures (5.93 vx 5.60)

The only big difference is weight where the Civic comes in at 2875 lbs and the Mirage comes in at 2194.

Yet, that is a pretty sizable difference in mileage.
