Just picked up a 97 4 dr lx civic 5 speed. I got 30.9 mpg around the city (and up the mountain) and 39.95 mpg with most of the driving in fifth gear. Its amazing how much money it saves me from having to drive my Mustang (85 GT 5.0) which gets about 13-15 the way I drive it. The Civic does not have the "put a smile on my face" factor and cant pull hills like the five o, but DAMN i love the gas mileage.
