Who has a HX and CX model civic here?
I had a CX before I put a DX motor in it. It's still a 1.5L. Kept the CX transmission. I get about 33mpg/city, and 40/hwy on average... but my highway record is 44mpg. I went 80mph from gas station to gas station for 438 miles without even stopping to pee. CX's have a 10 gallon tank.
I have a cx but its a 96 which has the dx engine 1.6 from factory and i do 50% highway driving and city driving late night to go home and only getting 33 mPG this sucks expected ebtter mileage for having 50% highway driving i do go 75MPH on highway and I shift at 2000-2500RPM i don't step on it. the 96 has 11.9 gallon tanks

Very few Honda models actually have 10 gallon tanks. All the 5g CX and VX models do. I think the CRX HF and DX did as well. I guess you don't need to carry more around than you're going to use.
I don't think ANY civics past '96 have a 10 gallon tank, do they? :dunno: The end of the 1.5L was '95... I guess the 1.6L's need an extra 2 gallons.
What's the biggest gas tank in a Honda? and WTF am I doing up and thread-jackin' about gas tanks? G-night. :sleep:
Edit: And WTF did my warning points go? :wtc: :joshers:
i have a 90 crx dx 1.5 and yesit has 10 gallons. I fell like takign my engine and throwing in a hx so i can get the low to high 40's MPG even 50's especially my hatch is like 200 pound slighter than that coupes which the hx engine are in.
