Poor mileage in 2008 EX
I purchased a new 2008 EX 4dr in august.
I traded in my 2006 BMW X3 in an effort to be more environmentally friendly.
I was getting 20mpg average in mixed driving in the X3
I am doing the same type of driving in the Civic and I am only averaging 22mpg.
I appreciate not buying premium gas, but otherwise I am a little peeved.
The Civic is just fine, but for an measly 2 mpg I would much rather be driving my X3
What gives? Do I have a bum Civic? Sticker said 26-35
Thanks in advance for any opinions

The range is 21-41...but I cannot imagine that the way I drive is toward the lower end of the spectrum. I drove my X3 the same way and got at least the average that that site lists for that car
Is there anything I should have checked on the car?
Thanks a lot

I am probably 70/30 hwy/city
I did drive 100% highway about 1100mi roundtrip, but forgot to calculate it out.
I guess I am just baffled that I have been getting just slightly better mileage than my last car that weighed twice as much and had twice the engine power!

a lot has to do with the speed your driving , an example is say if u drive the max speed on a civic and then go that speed in a BMW , the BMW will give u better avg lol , in civics 110 km/h is the speed that gets you the best millage , when u start going pass 125 your basically doing worse than city , try that out and see how your results are.
