Let’s look at it another way. My Acura Integra (24 city/30 hiway) routinely returns 28-33 mpg. It’s specs are virtually identical to the new Civic but the mileage is 26 city/35 hiway. Now that’s an improvement. Don’t compare apples to oranges, it gives the wrong impression. What’s the point? The new Civic has the space and amenities to serve as a family car, the old Civic could not. The HF and Si were two seaters and a 3-dr. Saturn? The real immediate future is diesel and diesel hybrids where, in small cars, 60-80 mpg is not out of the question.

I agree Tace, it is quite silly.

I wrote about this exact issue recently. Our 1994 Civic 4 door gets 35-40 mpg. It’s ridiculous what is being touted as “good gas mileage” these days. I’m glad to find someone else speaking up about this.
