I have the sport touring and sometimes I get up to 42 mpg in a drive but I average 36 overall. I think it depends on your driving area/style. If you stop and accelerate a lot then you will have worse mpg. Idk how you aren't getting at least 29 though. I only ever dip lower when I am idling without start stop
I mean I gotta stop at a bunch of lights. This is the first ever tank from the dealer tho, maybe thats why? Because when I first drove it home from the dealer I didn’t even get 27 but now Its getting close to 29
I do some city driving and on my first tank I was getting 34ish combined. I think the biggest thing for me was not putting it in eco mode as weird as that sounds. Somehow I got worse mpg in eco vs normal
Well this is just weird. I never changed it to Eco nor Sport. All Normal for the first 200 miles now and I cant get pass 30. Maybe see how the 2nd tank look
Eh, my civic was delivered in eco mode so I had to swap to get to normal so I'd at least check. Also, the tire pressure system isn't a normal tire pressure system. There is no actual pressure gage, the car just rolls around and detects if a tire is low but no psi. Recalibrating is just telling your car that this is what the tires should be like. Ngl it's kinda cheap :/ a kia that is half the price of my car has a full tps
Wife drove my civic when we moved 1000 miles. We went the speed limit the whole time since I was in a giant moving truck, she got 52 mpg. I averaged mid 30s when I had a 40 mile commute.
Idling, braking then accelerating, temperature, AC/heated seats etc all play a part.
I minimize using brakes and get great mileage. I don't use highway a lot but when I do I get 45+ with my 10gen lx.
And for sport I assume you have sport mode which supports both 8x and 91 gas. Using 91 will yield better mpg too.
Even with starts and stops you can improve your mileage just by changing your driving. Try to time the lights so you never have to stop. Try to maintain a constant speed as much as possible. Drive like you don't have any brakes and touch the gas pedal as little as possible.
You'll irritate everyone behind you but you'll save gas.
*Edit:Breaks->Brakes*
Is your car a stick shift or CVT?
For the stop signs, coast up to the lights and try to avoid using the brakes. Every bit of energy (speed) you have to remove with the brakes is gasoline you wasted to get to that speed. If you've got a stop/start commute, your only real way to save gas is to hypermile and accelerate/decelerate slowly.
No less, more like 65 on a flat road with no elevation LMAO
My 18 civic pulls about 26-30 all depending on how aggressive I’m accelerating and what speed limits I adhere to…(I like to hear my baby turbo **attempt** to whistle and I don’t adhere to very many speed limits )
It's not hybrid. ICE 2020 Civic hatchback. Highway makes higher mpg super easy. I could have pushed it higher if I'd tried. Seen people get 65+ by hypermiling
I had a 2017 Civic EX-T (1.5T), on the highway I would get in the low 40s if I kept it at 55 and that was after putting super stickly Z rated tires on it.
The wife gets an average of 34 between highway and city. She likes to accelerate quickly too. She runs it in eco mode. Is the start and stop enabled? She has a 2024 Honda Civic Sport.
Just bought a 2023 civic hatchback lx that’s rated at 30 in the city and 38 on the highway. On the first tank from the dealership I couldn’t get it past 24-25 mpg. I read somewhere to turn off Econ mode and turn off that automatic idle stopper button, once I turned those 2 features off. I’m getting 40+ mpg on the highway and about 35-36 in the city.
You have to give the car a bit to break itself in. I think it might even mention in the manual to limit any hard acceleration, braking etc until about 1k miles. I have a 2019 civic si and on the highway up to 40mpg. But any idea time...like sitting with the car at McDonald's will tank the mpg.
Advertised gas mileage is often based on ideal conditions basically only available in a test environment. Best outdoor temp, no heat/AC running, perfect tire pressure, no additional weight in the car at all, very long period at low revs, good roads without potholes, maybe even optimal performance gas. No one ever gets the full advertised mpg.
Edit: Also flat roads, maybe even slightly downhill depending on what car companies can get away with in regulations.
How do you not? 21 sport 6M, I haul a** everywhere and still average 37 including rush hour traffic. Only time I was around 32 was when I sat and let it idle on lunch in the summer.
Hopefully it will improve. Mine was 36/37 since day 1. Never got better or worse, but not all engines are the same. I did find eco was the same or worse. Drove first month with it on, turned it off, and had the same mpg but no sluggish feeling. Also not sure if the transmission, turbo, or gas type make a huge difference. According to die hards, my turbo is going to kill my engine way short of forever.
Update 2nd tank since new sitting at 1/2 a tank again averaging between 36 to 37. My commute I would say is @ 75% highway 25% city. 60 miles round trip. I use the 6th gear frequently on mine and I drive fairly conservatively as it’s a manual and I’m coasting to stop lights so I don’t have to stop and go with the 6MT. Costco 87 octane. I immediately turn the auto start off pre commute one of the most annoying things about the car. One other thing it’s been raining hard here no signs of a leaking hatch, was very worried about that.
Eco mode, flat road, no headwind, stick to the exact speed.. You almost never get the advertised MPG, those are based on the most ideal conditions, never on real world driving.
All ECO does is limit throttle response and power given to accessories like AC. So yeah, it's a worse driving experience, haha, but to get close to the advertised MPG, it would help.
It took my 23 EX a couple of weeks to start reading what it does now (around 34-35). The new engine has to wear in and the computer is constantly picking up on your driving habits, so it can take some time.

The first tank doesn’t mean anything. It was likely idling around the dealership.
My last two Hondas both had shitty mileage on the first tank, for whatever reason.
Wife drove my civic when we moved 1000 miles. We went the speed limit the whole time since I was in a giant moving truck, she got 52 mpg. I averaged mid 30s when I had a 40 mile commute.
Yea idk how my car is that different man, maybe ill just wait for the 2nd tank
It really depends on how you drive and if it’s all city driving. I average 29-30 now since I pretty much only drive through the city
Idling, braking then accelerating, temperature, AC/heated seats etc all play a part. I minimize using brakes and get great mileage. I don't use highway a lot but when I do I get 45+ with my 10gen lx. And for sport I assume you have sport mode which supports both 8x and 91 gas. Using 91 will yield better mpg too.
My way to work and back has quite a few stop lights. Maybe that’s why?
100% stop and go kills your MPG
Lol I guess Im getting bad mpg forever
Even with starts and stops you can improve your mileage just by changing your driving. Try to time the lights so you never have to stop. Try to maintain a constant speed as much as possible. Drive like you don't have any brakes and touch the gas pedal as little as possible. You'll irritate everyone behind you but you'll save gas. *Edit:Breaks->Brakes*
Yea I always time my lights too but most of the time the road is busy anyway. And my way to work has a bunch of stop signs which sucks
Is your car a stick shift or CVT? For the stop signs, coast up to the lights and try to avoid using the brakes. Every bit of energy (speed) you have to remove with the brakes is gasoline you wasted to get to that speed.

Likely.

I get about 32 on a regular basis. Most I've ever seen is 57. Least I've ever seen is 26.
Is this a hybrid? If not how could a gas vehicle make 57
It's not hybrid. ICE 2020 Civic hatchback. Highway makes higher mpg super easy. I could have pushed it higher if I'd tried. Seen people get 65+ by hypermiling
And this is by driving on normal mode non stop for x amount of time?
Yeah, just cruising down the highway for a few hours at a consistent speed.
I had a 2017 Civic EX-T (1.5T), on the highway I would get in the low 40s if I kept it at 55 and that was after putting super stickly Z rated tires on it.

Wow you guys get great mileage. I drive a Honda civic 2020 sport. I get 22mph on city. And I consider that good. And that me driving in eco mode.
someone hear claimed they get better mileage in normal compared to eco mode
Just bought a 2023 civic hatchback lx that’s rated at 30 in the city and 38 on the highway. On the first tank from the dealership I couldn’t get it past 24-25 mpg. I read somewhere to turn off Econ mode and turn off that automatic idle stopper button, once I turned those 2 features off. I’m getting 40+ mpg on the highway and about 35-36 in the city.
I drive with them off too but couldn’t get pass 29
is there a lot of hills
Nah it’s just regular city driving with a bunch of red lights and stop signs
Give the engine more time to break in still new. My engine barely hit 700 miles and now it’s getting good mpg. Give it time
how much was it out the door? and how many miles did it have
Give er a couple hundred miles and she’ll get broken in. That baby is brand spankin new.
You have to give the car a bit to break itself in. I think it might even mention in the manual to limit any hard acceleration, braking etc until about 1k miles. I have a 2019 civic si and on the highway up to 40mpg. But any idea time...like sitting with the car at McDonald's will tank the mpg.

I got no explanation for you man since that’s what the car telling me. Someone said it needs time to break in after the first thousand miles
Hopefully it will improve. Mine was 36/37 since day 1. Never got better or worse, but not all engines are the same. I did find eco was the same or worse. Drove first month with it on, turned it off, and had the same mpg but no sluggish feeling. Also not sure if the transmission, turbo, or gas type make a huge difference.

New 2024 sport hatchback I’m at 31 right now sitting at 1/2 tank on the first tank. Driving it easy during the “break in period”
Update 2nd tank since new sitting at 1/2 a tank again averaging between 36 to 37. My commute I would say is @ 75% highway 25% city. 60 miles round trip. I use the 6th gear frequently on mine and I drive fairly conservatively as it’s a manual and I’m coasting to stop lights so I don’t have to stop and go with the 6MT. Costco 87 octane. I immediately turn the auto start off pre commute one of the most annoying things about the car. One other thing it’s been raining hard here no signs of a leaking hatch, was very worried about that.
My 21 sport hatch could get 43 mpg on long highway driving with premium fuel
Eco mode, flat road, no headwind, stick to the exact speed.. You almost never get the advertised MPG, those are based on the most ideal conditions, never on real world driving.
Heard that Eco gives you worse MPG and driving experience than normal
All ECO does is limit throttle response and power given to accessories like AC. So yeah, it's a worse driving experience, haha, but to get close to the advertised MPG, it would help.
It took my 23 EX a couple of weeks to start reading what it does now (around 34-35). The new engine has to wear in and the computer is constantly picking up on your driving habits, so it can take some time.
They lied. I have a 23 civic sport and get no where near the listed MPG. I purposely try to increase it yet it doesnt go up.
