We recently took a road trip in our 2007 Honda Civic.

We travelled 1191 miles using approximately 29.966 gallons of gasoline. Based on the totals, the mileage we achieved was approximately 39.7 miles per gallon.

Here is a chart of our distance and gas usage that I recorded over several days.  Based on a linear regression, our best-fit mileage is 39.46 mpg.

This was almost all highway driving, but it still seems surprisingly good, considering the new Honda Civic is supposed to get 36mpg highway.

Here are the data that I recorded to measure our mileage. The Price and Gallons data from Ontario are converted from litres.

It's lucky I read this, because mom asked how many km I thought it was to NY, and I said 11-9 something back and forth because of your blog. And mom was like. It's gotta be more than that. And then I was like Maybe I'm remembering wrong and it was 19-hundred something and we both thought that sounded better. Then when I checked again I realized it was miles. Then again maybe it's not lucky I read this.

I just saw a commercial for the 2009 Chevy Malibu that said it got 48 mpg highway. That's a midsize I'm pretty sure. Maybe they're just lying.
