Otherwise, the Civic was just not much fun to drive. The majority of my driving was done with the air on “economy,” and if it wasn’t, I would have averaged less than 38.3 mpg. With the Civic, the “economy” setting on the air conditioning lets the engine shut down at a stop, but on the regular setting, it won’t. The fan keeps blowing, and for maybe 30 seconds, the air is cool, but after that, it only gets warmer. Of course, in Florida, in August, it might be a bit warmish, but anything to save a gallon.Īctually, I have been in contact with some hybrid owners who did not realize that when you pull up to a stop sign, and the engine stops, the air conditioning does, too. I don’t think there was any way to get 48 mpg in the Civic, but I know I could have done better if I turned off the air conditioner, which, I understand, some True Believers are willing to do. This is considerably less than the EPA ratings of 47 mpg in the city, 48 mpg on the highway, but still, 38.3 mpg is pretty good. Which was my average over about 380 miles. In the Civic Hybrid, you get a certain amount of pleasure from looking down at your running fuel-mileage total and seeing that you are getting 38.3 miles per gallon. Here’s how: You know that with, say, a sports car, you get a certain amount of pleasure from the acceleration, the swoopy styling, and the cornering? No one has yet amortized the cost of developing such an innovative product.Īs I spent a week in a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid, I tried very hard to enjoy the experience, and ultimately I did. I like hybrids and admire what the manufacturers have done, both mechanically and with regard to their public-spiritedness, because at this point, none of them is making money from hybrids, regardless of what they tell their shareholders. The resulting data is purely informative, our website cannot be held responsible.I have yet to join the True Believers who insist that hybrid vehicles are, flaws and all, the answer to our problems of oil dependency, global warming, pollution and the heartbreak of psoriasis. The average statistics of the data submitted by usersĮstimated data may vary compared to its real (actual) values.algorithm recalculates the real consumption values according to coefficients of statistics and factors below: Although there is no certainty of the content, it is for informational purposes only. Estimated fuel consumption data, depends on the users driving style, environmental conditions and may vary depending on many factors. Therefore, the estimated fuel consumption data may vary compared to the actual real fuel consumption data. Our improved algorithm coefficients were calculated for each model particularly. The estimated fuel consumption is calculated by the statistical information acquired as a result of hundreds of submitted user’s data, and driving by professionals including the vehicle's engine class, vehicle weight, fuel type, transmission type, depending on factors such as road conditions. While reviewing vehicles, the actual data should be considered as real fuel consumption. These data were compiled from sources published by the official and nonofficial websites and catalogues of brands and companies. Actual fuel consumption for vehicles is specified in 'Factory data' table.
