2012 Civic MPG - share your current gas mileage

[bleustar]

Post up what kind of gas mileage you're getting in your 2012 civic.

38mpg on 2008 Civic Hybrid
32mpg on 2012 SI manual currently. I travel a lot for living so when I do drive, it's mostly freeway or in the evening.
etc...

"Driving at 70 mph I was averaging 34-35 mpg, 65 was like 37 mpg, and 60 you get closer to 40."

Great write up with a good example of a highway trip. Going with 10 gallons 70mph=340 ; 65mph=370 ; 60mph=400

I checked my tire pressure today and they were all at 26-27 >.> Good for the track but not for regular driving.
It's my mistake for not checking them out of the dealer but meh.

Should get a substantial bit better mpg now, inflated to 32 psi, will update after school

I'm a tyre pressure freak..... Some things I've found out for our 32lb'ers is checking it warm/hot 35 will put you close to 32 cold.
I check mine cold usually in the morning, I have two things, a bike pump, and an air compressor. I check my MC before every ride(almost), and the car about once a week. You can lose a pound every week or two.

Another thing is with front wheel drive it's more important to rotate tyres due to the frt getting all the wear from braking AND acceleration. I played with this(in this case by being easy on my 1st/2nd gear on my MC) and came away with a thousand+ better wear on my rear tyre. Only get about 8000 on the rear tyre on the mc(which varies from one bike to the other).

9.6 / 100 Km which I think it is around 30 mpg.

9.6 liters = 2.54 gallons
100km = 62 miles
24.4mpg conversion

Absolutely right, Forgot to mention it is 95% city driving with lots of stop and go.

Forgot to update the other day with the inflated tires.
Got 2-3 mpg better for the most part. Was able to average 38 MPG going to school 75/25 with no traffic. But i always seem to mess things up when heading back home since i want to hear the engine roar XD

Actually, there is, most is lost during idling &/or acceleration, being smooth and using cruise-control, drifting slowly up to a stop/line of cars timing it to get there about the time the last one in line is taking off again, that way you have a consistent gas feed. The less you stop & start the better, and you don't get there any faster anyway.

econ mode would benefit as well as what monk stated above

 

[tsumaku]

Got 43.9 mpg today going 26 miles at 40-55 mph on the way to JFK from Staten Island. I had just put in 1.6 gallons of gas, 89 at $4.25 at Mobil, which reset the trip computer. Was exciting! I was driving slow cuz my legs are hurting.

 

[webby]

Great result on a short trip

 

[tsumaku]

just wondering, how do you know your mpg for the days trip? my cars always 23.5

 

[webby]

resetting your trip meter to zero after filling up should reset your gas mileage for your next tank.

thanks haha
