Andy.....if you go back to the beginning of this thread, it began because 8th generation civic owners felt that Honda were advertising fuel consumption figuers that were unrealistic and impossible to obtain in real world driving. I think the manual is advertised @ 6.9L/100 & the Auto is 7.2L/100. The majority of people living in cities have no chance of getting close to these advertised figures because of the conditions the vehicles are operated in. People seem to forget that the advertised figuers are averaged out. If people dig deep enough on overseas web sites they will find where different consumption figures are advertised for the same car....eg in England the civic is advertised @ 5.4 L/100 country & 8.9L/100 city. I do not know the criterea used to obtain those figures. Iether way, the civic is by far the most economical car in its class available in this country & given the RIGHT CONDITIONS the advertised ecconomy figuers are obtainable.
