Default Miles Per Gallon

With 900 miles on my car, the last two tanks have yeilded 26 and 27 MPG. I'm very pleased with that. Is this normal for you?

Wow! I don't think I've ever gone above 14 or 15 MPG. VTEC loves gas!

I've got 40,000 and still get 28 mpg on road trips. Of course in town I get like 10 cause I keep her screaming the whole time.

The most that I've gotten was 18. Then again that was with the cruise control set at 125 MPH / 200 KmH.

17 or 18 is also the best i have ever seen. I do drive like a bat out of hell though...hell, if i wanted good gas mileage, i would have gotten a civic...I wish i was getting 25+ MPG...that would ease my gas buying pains.

I almost always get 30, sometimes a bit over. Most of my driving is open road and I don't do a lot of VTEC driving. I was not expecting that kind of mileage. I suspect it will go down soon - will install SC when mileage gets to 3500

I get 26 to 27 in town and around 24 on the road........Hard to figure the differential here as it is counterintuitive but it is very consistent! No complaints either way however!!!

Most of my driving is in the city, on surface streets - the car has been pretty consistent - between 22 and 23 mpg. On the rare highway trips, I've maxed out at a little less than 31 mpg for one tankful, with an average of 27-28 mpg. I don't drive like a granny, but I spend most of my time on the low rpm cam. There's just no place around here to use the fun cam without attracting unwanted attention.
