We got the Honda 2016 1.5 turning turbo in Dec 2015. As of 6-26-2017 60,000 mile, just change all four tires. SC state. This car likes it warm and just do speed limit. It is dam hard to keep 52-53.4 mpg. And some time it hard at 50mpg . Prius 53-58 mpg but it a hybrid. At 70 we might get 48-49 just depends on hills at that speed for us.

Looks like you used every drop of gas on your 'Current Drive'.

Holy crap is this like all highway driving?

I average about 38 but have seen 42 when driving conservatively and over 50 if it's 95% highway

I like to push it at least once a day to 5k+ rpm lol so 38 isn't bad for me but some of your guys mpg is crazy to keep it consistent like that at a full tank

My mileage is definitely not representative of an average driver. It is my 22 mile 55mph commute on straight roads with only a few traffic signals that allows this. I drive like grandpa. I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to match it without trying very hard, but even dogging the car my worst tank has been in the upper 30's. Doing 12 over the limit on long highway drives 77-82mph I average about 41-43mpg's. At 70 I get about 50mpg. Around town I can get anywhere from high 20's to low 50's depending on traffic and how hard I drive.

I'm one of those too. With a very routine 55mph commute of 45 miles. One way has only one stop sign on it.
Recently had to make several trips to Chicago Ohare. 275miles round trip with almost all interstate driving and no traffic jams. I was one of the faster drivers especially in the Chicago area. Got 46MPG on those trips.

I was actually wondering about this, since the car's only rated at--what--31/41 MPG (for an EX-T) and I've been pretty solidly getting between 40-42mpg pretty much since I've gotten the car. I figured that it was probably just being optimistic and so I was gonna do the math when I refueled this next time. I don't drive completely in the city, to be honest. I have about a 17-18 mile drive back and forth to work and I take country roads and in the city, I take a boulevard and except on city streets where I average about 35-45mph, I'm generally driving at 55-65mph all of the time. It's nice to see that it's not just some weird fluke.

It's a nice change from only getting 25mpg in my old Ford Focus.

The first time I filled up my new Civic the dashboard display's average said 33.1mpg but if I divided the mileage by the amount I pumped it was 32.6-something. So I guess in round numbers I'm getting 33mpg. That's about 1/3 Interstate and 2/3 mixed city and secondary road in a 2.0/CVT sedan.

That seems to be somewhere right around 30mpg in town and a bit over 40mpg on the highway so pretty close to the EPA numbers. I've always found my cars to get somewhere in the vicinity of their EPA ratings.

BTW, I do keep the "Eco" mode on when I'm driving.

I get at least 40 highway in my Si - cruising under 3k - but I have enough city commuting to drag the average back down to the 30s. My hand-calculated numbers at fillup haven't gone below 35, though. Hell, I think this thing's better on gas than my past two LX models.

Just returned from a vacation in the VA and WV mountains with a carload of 2 adults, 2 children and a very full trunk. Over the course of just over 500 miles and some very spirited driving on the back roads (my apologies to my passengers) I averaged 42.2mpg pump calculation (43.6 computer). Even full and with about half the life gone from the tires the EX-T handles really well in the turns and the 93 Octane gas (I ran a tank of 93 prior to the trip that had about 91 average in the tank - so this tank should be legit 93 or a shave under) gave me incredible power for passing up hills and throttling out of curves for such a small motor.

I LOVE this car!

Getting just over 40 on the interstate, cruising at 75, with A/C on. Just over 2000 miles on engine. Not sure what Honda's engineers were smoking when they designed the 1.5T mill, but I wish I had some!!
