Anecdotal, but my highway driving with Eco and all the Sensing smarts on pretty much matches the blue curve. Really remarkable how the 1.5T is sporty when you want it to be, frugal with the push of a button.

That's amazing, love it.
The GDI turbo engine can dump its max torque at low RPM similar to a diesel. This gen X civic is a fantastic car and holds the road so well at higher speeds.

I think we discussed this when this article came out in 2016.
