killadi Rookie Author Toronto Posts:62 Points:13,410 Joined:Feb 2007	Message Posted: Feb 23, 2007 5:18:20 PM Ignore killadi Report Abuse I recently bought a second car which is a 2000 honda civic ex 4dr, and it keeps getting poor gas mileage. I usually get about 450km on 37litres of regular unleaded fuel (60% city, 40% hwy). Could anyone of you with the similar car post your mileage. thanks

My sons civic has gotten a high of 47.6 mpg with about 80% highway driving and I get over 40 regularly on my comute with my 04 lx sedan. If you have a heavy foot, run high rpms when you shift etc. mpg will suffer just like every car on the road.

CivicStud Rookie Author Minnesota Posts:46 Points:117,370 Joined:Jul 2006	Message Posted: Jul 25, 2007 10:47:59 AM Ignore CivicStud Report Abuse My son's car is a 2000 civic si with an hx motor and ex 5 speed transmission in it. He is currently getting anywhere from 39 to 43 mpg with it, depending on how he drives it. killadi, do you have a check engine light (cel or mil) on at all? Since you recently bought the car, check to make sure the previous owner didn't pull the CEL bulb becuase it was constantly on and didn't like to look at it. This sounds like the oxygen sensor and or catalytic converter are bad. If the computer senses sonthing is wrong (like o2 sensors) it will but the car in "limp" mode and enrich the air/fuel mixture to protect the engine.
