[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3156096, member: 15054"] 1974 civic got 53 MPG with spirited driving with me or the girlfriend behind the wheel. NO way new civics get that. Up into the 80's they still turned out some good cars that pulled 50+ MPG. [URL]https://www.mpgomatic.com/2011/12/30/honda-civic-gas-mileage-high-mpg-standouts/[/URL] They were light though. and really not that slow.like low 18's in the 1/4 for the 74 civic 2013 EX civic turns 16.9 in the 1/4 claimed 28 city 39 highway. My 95 corolla has 317,000 miles on it and still going fine. 33 mpg most of the time using the right synthetic oil I have got 38 MPG on the highway a few times and 39.4 was best. I have also got 30 MPG when running 95+ MPH down the highway. I vote used..Or if you are going to spend a lot of money like more than 10 grand I would buy a classic. You never lose money on that. Unless you can't work on cars that is. [/QUOTE]
