Default 44.5 mpg...is this common?

I recently bought a 2004 EX/AUTO/VTEC with 33k on it. I was expecting to get some good milage,this being my first honda....I was not sure what to expect. Right when I bought it I do what I do to all my cars/trucks...Oil, plugs and intake at the least.....I used Mobil 1 5w-20, NGK Iridium plugs...and a Kand N intake...I hit the highway and got 44.5 MPG from tampa to talli. 298mi/6.69 gallons...I thought that was amazing and was wondering if people get this good of milage often...likeI said, I am new to honda

Thanks
Tom

highway with light driving = good mileage
that gasmileage isn't exact since you don't know exactly how much fuel the car used

Just commuting to work everyday my civic gets about 38 mpg. I would imagine on a long freeway with no stops the mileage would go up to at least 41 or higher.

my 00 ex coupe 5-speedgot 45 mpg from buffalo, ny to atlanta ga.

i filled her up, cruised at 70 for 360 miles and put 8 gallons back in each fillup.

360/8 = 45mpg

That is very good gas mileage. My 97 EX auto averages 37 if I drive under 60.

All this good mileage is very interesting...I have a 93 EX coupe...1.6 VTEC and I usually get around 300-310 miles out of a tank on highway driving...around town maybe 270-290. Has brand new O2 sensor, air filter, fuel filter, plugs, wires and all that. Also just seafoamed the heck out of it and still the same mileage. Very weird!!
