+1 Especially considering 55 is porbably not the most economical speed for that civic.

 

no im serious i really can get 65miles on 1st gallon..u know how you can fill the crap out of it and the needle is above the actual full mark on the gas gauge. well thats how and the fact that i never drive my car fast and chill thru town in 5th gear going 30-40mph at like 12-1800 rpm's w/me barely if not touching the gas pedal

 

my 97 4drgets 33-36 in town and 40 on the highway. my worn outoil burning hatch get 30 in town withover 230,000 miles never been

any distance on highwaypros to the parents tell them its a slow car they should love that and it rides good, drives great, factory size tires are cheap, they run forever.

 

so your going by the gas gauge? or filling up exactly one gallon after your 65miles?
sorry man i still dont believe it...

if anything youd get more milage with the last gallon in your gas tank... think about it... ALOT less weight!!!!!!!

 

no im saying ill fill it up all the way (needle past gas gauge) now keep in mind this is just for the 1st gallon and i reset my trip. and noticed on 65miles a difference on the gas gauge needle its gone down to the actual line for full on the gas gauge so i just assume that was my 1st gallon gone b/c thats how bout far the needle goes down for each gallon after that. And true i probably get alot more on my last gallon b/c i can stay on red line (empty) for like 2 weeks.

 

^ um, you are completely wrong about everything you just said, sorry

 

ya... dont go by that needle position!
from my experience the needle hardly moves when its above 3/4 tank... but after it gets to about 1/4 it starts to drop quickly....

you need to try it again... fill up and wait till your needle is where you THINK the first gallon is gone... and then fill up again and take that milage divided by the milage you drove and thats your milage....

not trying to call ya a lier... but i wouldnt want people to ASUME that they should be geting that much MPG and it be alot less.LOL and then they think somethings jacked up with thier civic....

test your milage that way and be POSITIVE... cause if you get 65miles before the line touches full again then your actualy burnen more than 1gallon!
cause driving slowly and more fuel comsumtion can get you a good milage increase BUT not doubling! best ive done is ruffly 5MPG more than just lead footing it..
