Honda Civic Hybrid Has Best Gas-Mileage

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the Honda Civic Hybrid beats out the Toyota Prius for best gas-mileage (61 mpg city/66 mpg highway versus 60/51). The non-hybrid Civic is the best gasonline-only vehicle with 36/44.

In my driving experience with my manual-transmission 2004 Honda Civic LX, I usually get between 32 and 37 mpg, and that’s mostly highway miles. Honda has information about their 2005 Civic Hybrid.

I have a 2001 Civic EX that’s a manual and I get 40 MPG (combination highway/city) on a fairly regular basis. It’s amazing because I am not in any way a conservative driver!

That’s excellent mileage. I’ve been counting my gas-mileage using a Palm application on my Handpsring Visor, but I’m not sure how accurate it is.

My 91 Honda Civic (167 000 miles) gets between 32 and 36 mpg, real drive time, not the EPA “flawed” version.
