I got 53 mpg over 137.2 miles, driving it home to CT from NH. I'm pleased!
Kudos!!!

You musta got a 'good' one!

BTW, you'll figure this out on your own, but...

You should start looking for a gas station @ around 400-425 miles (trip meter)...

The reason I mention this is, Honda CiViCs come with a 'low level fuel indicator', but they seldom work after a couple of years. It a well documented design flaw, sooo... don't try to run it down until 'the light' comes on, or you'll be walking!

My theory is, the 'low level' sensor gets coated with deposits and quits working...
