DavyZ Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I feel the same way. The Suburban takes over $100 in gas per fillup. I feel your pain. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confused Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Haha! That picture had me laughing to hard. I understand though. I daily drive a Honda Accord, and it takes over 35$ for me to fill it up. Talk about fuel efficient my ***. I only get 25mpg. So much for Honda.

Guest Battle Pope Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 25 mpg is still pretty good for a family car. You gotta get a civic if you're looking for a real gas miser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confused Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I know. I used to drive a 1993 Civic Hatch DX. I loved getting 30+mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone just bought roominess and cared less about economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 73TPIZ Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Yea, just sold my '91 HF 4 months ago. Makes me feel a little better knowing it was sold to a single mom driving a Bronco II 70 miles each way to work 5 days a week. Still wish i had it back though. What's crazy is the '87 was rated 52-57 (carb) and the '91 dropped to 49-52 (FI). But it was 200-300lbs heavier than the '87. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dp351zcar Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I have a 02 civic EX and my worst MPG was 34.5 and my best so far is 39.7. My goal is getting over 40 but so far I haven't been able to get there yet as I think I drive it kinda hard. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I had an early 90's civic 3-door that was a sub-base model. It had NO letters on the hatch...not DX or EX or SI. It had NOTHING but the basics. No intermittent wipers, no rear wiper, manual locks and windows, 4speed. Pleather seats, no center console...I could lift a rear tire off the ground by grabbing under the rear wheel well and I only weighed about 150. It had 60HP at the flywheel. I got 41mpg regularly. I want it back!!!! Im going shopping. Love the skinny pig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwheeler Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 [img']http://www.users.qwest.net/~linfoot/pig.jpg[/img] Dave, I didn't know there was another HybridZ around these parts. My 500Z (Mustang 5.0, 240Z) gets 30MPG highway, 25 city. Better than my 2003 Protege5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
