Default Best gas mileage in your 08 civic coupe Ex-L?

What has your gas mileage been in your 2008 Civic Coupe EX-L?
So far my best has been 31.8 (with less than 1,000 miles on the car total)....and that's city/hwy driving combined, and I have a lead foot.

Also, if you have any cheap gas places you go around Norwalk, CT let me know! I've checked out gasbuddy.com but if there's any besides Citgo on rt. 7 (which is now $3.76) let me know!

My 08' has about 7k on it. I get about 32-33 mpg on highway now. (It didn't go up very much after the break in period )

I have an 08 Civic coupe that is 2 weeks old and on it's first tank of gas it clocking in at 29.4 mpg. I will admit that I was expecting low 30's but since it is a new engine and I am not sure of how full the tank was when leaving the dealership, I will gauge it on my next tank of gas, which I should fill up this afternoon andhaveanother mpg calculation. Most of my driving is in the city so 29.4 may be a pretty good average.

Update: Just filled up again and this time I got 32.99 mpg. I did have a few HWY miles vs City on it this time so that may be the only differnce. Coming from a 2001 Ford Mustang Cobra that was getting 18 mpg on Premium unleaded, needless to say I am very happy with the Civic's MPG

I'm still on the first tank of my 2008 LX Coupe. I picked it up eight days ago and still have about a quarter tank left. I'll know after I tank up three times and average it out.

I'm coming from a 1999 Mercedes Benz C280 (2.8L 6) that averaged 22.7 mpg. Mon-Fri I put on about 60 miles (75% hwy) per day.

I like the gas milage, but I need to get used to less power. This is the first 4-cyl (non-turbo) car I've owned/driven since 1988.

Update (10-13-2008): Refilled tank for first time yesterday...30.1 mpg.
