[:@] So I bought a 07 4 dr civic ex. I'm not getting the best mileage at all! My question is, will my fuel mileage be better once its broken in? IF so what is consider broken in on a civic?

 

What mileage is consider broken in I mean't?

 

What are you getting. Usually you can expect pretty close to what the manufacter puts out but depends on your driving habits a lot.

 

If your driving all city and no highway, your gonna get lower mileage.

 

There are lots and lots of variables here. If your driving habits and style remains constant and if the percentage of highway vs. city driving remains about the same, you should see some improvement in gas mileage by the 5000 mile mark. However, it is important to remember that the most important factor with respect to good gas mileage is how you use your right foot.

 

I bought an 08 civic coupe a couple months ago. I get about 32 on the highway and 25-28 in stop/go. I was a little dissapointed, when compared to my gf's 01 civic sedan gets like 30 and 35-38 on highway. I am writing it off to the fact that each year they make the car sportier and bump up the performance and lower the milleage. Which is ok with me. 25-28 is better than a lot of cars anyway.(like an accord)

 

I have a 08 civic coupe LX. I am getting 31-32 mpg in everyday driving. Combo of stop/go, i have 6 stop signs to deal with getting through my neighborhood to get to a main roadand then crusing 45-50mph going to work. Honda says 29 adv mpg so i'm pretty happy. Car only has 1000 miles on it.

 

yeah they gave the 8th gens (06+) more power and scaled them up to make room for the Fit, so the civic's get worse mileage now

but luckily i have an 05

 

I have a 08 civic with the auto and was rated at 26 city and 36 hyway....I get 38 mixed city hyway and straight hyway cruise set at 70 mph I get 42 mpg...very happy

 

Seriously? I don't find your numbers credible. I find it very hard to believe you get 38 in the city and 42 at 70 mph? That's ludicrous. How do you check your numbers? miles/gallons plus 10? Does anyone else find this hard to believe? Do you have a coupe or sedan or what?
