TSX - 22(city) 31(highway)
Civic - 30(city) 40(highway)

Those numbers are based on automatic models, both 4 cylender. The civic is a 1.8L engine.

If you want killer gas mileage get a Toyota Yaris those things are pretty cool. And for how small they seem they are rather roomy inside. Plus they get as good or better mileage than the civic, and a new one is like 14 grand. Fairly cheap for ANY brandnew toyota.

theres a big missunderstanding with hybrids the only time a hybrid is better is when its mostly city driveing cause the constant brakeing charges up the electric motor and thats what it will mostly run on in the city causeing gas millage to be in a 50's+ - range and when u drive allot of highway you would only get about 35+ - so if u live in a city the hybrids the way to go but if u do a lot of highway driveing the civic is the way to go because i have talked to about 20 or so people and they all get at least 35 average miles/gallon but thats just my 2 cents

i have heard that the money you spend on a hybrid by the time you actually break even(i mean the money you saved on gas to the price of the car instead of a regular one) it will take a long time and by then the car wil have problems and will not be even worth having so its better to just get the regualr version and pay a little extra for gas

american cars suck on gas mileage....or they get good gas mileage, but you can't turn your heard around w/o bumping your nose on the back window. lol

if you want good gas mileage...and a dependable car...go with a Japanese car.:-)

it may sound bad, but it is the truth:-)

the only thing i would drive that is American is a truck with an american V8...even some of those have their problems. oh well...you can't beat em all.

Alan this is discussion on gas mileage not racing. If you want to talk about racing they did make a SVT focus. I don't like racing 4 cylinders anyway. Give me a stock 302 or 281, and I'll show you what racing is. I do agree import do get better gas mileage, but I love my Fords. Also, in the SUV market, the Ford Escape Hybrid is tops in gas mileage out of all SUV's. I have seen alot of broke down honda's around here though. Escorts keep on going haha. Sorry, but straight Ford man here. FORD= First On Race Day
