Hello everyone. Had a quick question for you guys to see if you can help me out. My wife has a 2006 Honda Civic Ex. It is an automatic. Usually she gets about 34 mpg. Since we have moved, it has shortened her drive to work about 15 miles. But now, she is only getting about 25 or 26 mpg. No check engine light. I don't know what is going on. If you guys could help that would be great. Thanks

 

thats because she now has to drive farther to get to her boyfriend's house before work!

no, but i would say that maybe her car isnt getting as warm with the shorter trip? thus, working harder? i would have to think about that one.

 

Does the new drive happen to include a higher percentage of city of driving?

 

No, same city, about 1 or two miles less highway

 

Hmmm. Not sure that this answer fits with 15 miles less per commute?

Calculate percentage of city miles for her previous versus current commute.

Here's the formula:

City miles/total miles X 100 = percentage city miles
