Hybrid gives *great* economy - 45 mpg is normal. Except for the bad transmission, this little car runs like the proverbial Swiss watch. see full Honda Civic review

With the things it gave up to the Prius (cargo utility, rear space), it should surpass the Prius in mileage but actually came up short (as did the Insight). see full Honda Civic review
