My 2cents..

07 FD2 Sport auto, never really bothered to record the fuel consumption before however on my last tank (91 ULP) I got 9.1 L/100Klm and that was full city driving, and I mean bumper to bumper peak hour Melbourne traffic where about 10% of the tank would have been freeway driving.

Quite impressed with that as I didn't really try and drive that economically..I try to fill her up with BP Ultimate every 3-4 tanks.

One of my key concerns when choosing the Civic (I was keen in a Mark V Golf GTI DSG) was the fact that it took regular unleaded and running costs compared to the VW were quite low.. Have a friend who purchased a GTI a few weeks after I got the Sport (and yeh its quicker but so what) but the list of problems he has had is ridiculous..DSG megatronic unit needs replacing, air con faulty, drivers door would not shut properly, stuck sunroof and that's in the first 6 months of ownership..

I'm coming up to the 30k service and have had nothing but joy from the Civic I'm loving it. My first Honda and definitely not my last. So much more value that the Euro equivalents and better build quality (yes even the Thai built ones!)

Sorry, I have rambled on in the fuel economy thread
