I recently purchased a 92 Civic VX, the forerunner of the Insight. Needing an expensize long distance commuter, I remembered the VX caused quite a stir when it came out, with it's new at the time lean burn engine. It's EPA rating was 44 city / 55 hwy - pretty amazing for the day.
I'm disappointed to find that the car is "only" getting 35-37 mpg on the highway at 70-75mph. I've done a tune-up, and checked tire pressures. It has 134k miles. Nothing seems wrong, but the mileage is way down from what I'd expect, even at the higher speeds than what the EPA probably based their estimates on 10 years ago.
Any chance someone here is familiar with the 92-95 VX hatchback and can tell me what kind of mileage you used to see?
Thanks!
