Duel of the Fuel: Honda Civic EX versus Honda Civic Hybrid

Friday July 4, 2008
Finally, we got a chance to do a real bona fide head-to-head fuel mileage testorama between a hybrid and its regular car sibling. We've been wanting to do this for a while now, and when the good folks at Honda gave us the green light (and more importantly, the cars) to do a straight-up fuel mileage duel, well, we could hardly wait.

Scott, having long had a "burr under his saddle" to do this kind of thingy, jumped at the chance and put his mind (and feet and hands) to the task of crankin' out a full-blown mileage test. Check out Scott's Honda Civic EX versus Honda Civic Hybrid Fuel Mileage Comparo to see how these little fuel misers stacked up against each other.
