I have just done my first fill up on a N reg 1.6 Honda Civic and it
shows a return of 27.5 MPG. This seemed a little low to me. I am sure
when I used to drive cars of a similar age I always managed a minimum
of 30 MPG and a little more on a motorway run.

I doubt there is anything wrong with the car and maybe it is me who has
got used to a diesel van that does over 40MPG for my normal motoring.

It really depends on the sort of driving conditions. My fairly large
petrol auto does mid 30s on a motorway but mid teens in heavy town traffic.
