Default FYI - Gas mileage - 06 w/ Automatic

The car is an automatic. On a recent trip which consisted mainly of intersate miles running 70 mph I averaged 45mpg. Commuting to work which is a mix of city and highway I averaged 38mpg. Not to shabby.

I averaged my mileage over the first 3000 miles and it is a hair of 37mpg. It's an '06 LX 5MT sedan with about half highway mileage.

2006 Civic, LX sedan, automatic.

Have 3,200 miles on odometer. All "city" driving, which in my case means commuting on two-lane roads, and "in town" driving at speeds usually not exceeding 50 MPH. (Have no significant highway mileage to report on as of this date.)

Early April 'til now, all-time average is 30.8 MPG, from driving as described above.

Best tank to date: 32.8 MPG (411.x miles on 12.x gallons), again driving as above.

Regards,
Glenn in CT

Wow, not bad! I'm glad to see real world numbers for highway vs. city driving.

My daughter had--she totalled it Thursday--a 2003 Civic EX with an automatic transmission. I drove it for a month before she took it over, and got 32 in mixed driving and 37+ on highway cruises. Not too shabby. The 2006 is bigger and heavier, I think, so it's good to see the mpg is hanging in there (even if you drive like a madman!).
