Any idea why they put leather and nav system but NO moonroof??? Ever Honda I have owned since my 79 Prelude had a great big moon roof. Of course my Element’s in the back. This is a deal breaker for me. :+(

@Mike – The folks at http://www.cleanmpg.com/ might have some ideas for you … they’re the champs at getting the maximum mileage out of the Civic Hybrid.

I’ve had my 2009 Civic Hybrid about a month. I’ve employed the hypermiling tactics, and my dash gauges all indicate that I should be consistently getting 40+ mpg. Yet when I gas up I’m averaging 25 MPG. Not at all impressed.

@jalice – I had no problem getting the advertised mileage out of the Civic.

When you have a chance, please take a look at this article.

It’s as easy as learning when to take your foot completely off the gas pedal.

Once you learn this simple driving technique, your MPG numbers will get back to where they should be.

That having been said, because of the difference in the design of the hybrid systems, the Prius is more economical in town then the Civic Hybrid … when driven properly.

I have had a civic hybrid for about a month – on the fourth tank of gas and have driven 955 miles – I drive between 5 and 40 miles a day mostly in the city – I am disgusted – if driving this car takes a genius to get the advertised mileage Honda should have put that in the literature – today my MPG dropped to 24.3 – why pay extra for a hybrid . I say if you want 40 mpg buy a Prius.

I have a 2008 Civic hybrid. 8000 miles now. When new it got about 34mpg to 39mpg. After 3000 miles I took it on a long trip about 200 mi each way. It then got 46mpg and has averaged about 47mpg city/hwy ever since. I love it. My only wish is a plug in option.

Update on gas mileage.I have learned to drive the car for better gas mileage and have improved to 51mpg city.I use the cruise control a lot.Especially on hills.Finally was able to get the car to glide.Figured out how to get the car to shut the injectors off and glide in electric.Car is awesome!!

I’ve owned the 08 Civic Hybrid for 3 weeks. I enjoy it everytime and never once regret. I have been getting 45.7mpg mixed driving. I love the looks especially its interior arrangement and ergonomic. the ride is quiet, nimble, and fun.
