The first generation of the Honda Civic released in early 70’s with a two door body type. Then after months a three door hatchback option released.

The Fuel Consumption of the Honda Civic

It’s time to make some conversation about the fuel consumption of the Honda Civic. To understand this subject, we need to check out the engine types of the Civic. It has four engine option which are; 1.0 Turbo, 1.5 Turbo, 1.5 and 2.0 TypeR. We are going to focus on the Most Economical Engine and the Most Powerful Engine to provide you a clear perspective about the engine types and their fuel consumptions. Let’s start with the Most Economical One which is; 1.0 Turbo S SVT. It is a three cylindered, 988 cm3 sized, petrol type engine which produces 129 Horsepower and 5500 RPM Torque. According to the official factory data 1.0 Turbo has a 5.5lt/100km (which refers to 51 MPG in UK) fuel consumption rate in Urban usage. However, this rate decreasing to 4.2lt/100km (which refers to 67 MPG in UK) in Extra Urban usage such as; Highway or Long Distance Trip. When we combine these two data we get a 4.7lt/100km (which refers to 60 MPG in UK) average fuel consumption performance for 1.0 Turbo S SVT. It’s 2.0 TypeR’s turn now. This performance monster is a four cylindered, 1996 cm3 sized, Petrol type engine which produces 320 Horsepower and 6500 RPM Torque which is huge when we compare with a standard Civic engine. 2.0 TypeR has got a 9.0lt/100km (which refers to 31 MPG in UK) MPG Rate when you use TypeR in Urban. On the other hand, this rate decreasing to 6.0lt/100km (which refers to 47 MPG in UK) at the Extra Urban usage. When we combine these two official factory data we get 7.0lt/100km (which refers to 40 MPG in UK) average MPG data which means bad news for your wallet.

Does it Suits You?

I think this question deserves an answer such as; maybe. If you are looking for an economical vehicle I can say that in Compact Sized Car Industry, Honda Civic can find a place among economical compact cars. But I cannot say the same thing for TypeR model. If you are looking for adrenaline and performance, it fits perfectly to you. However, if you are looking for a fuel efficient performance car, I advise you to compare TypeR with other brands.
