Woah, that is pretty bad. 12 gallons? What kind of year and model civic do you have? I'm assuming 2001 or newer dx or lx? Have you owned it since new? Has the gas mileage always been bad?

You guys have to stop pounding on the throttle. VTEC = less MPG

There aren't many 7th gens on this board yet. Try asking around at 2k1civic . See what the guys over there are getting in terms of gas mileage. Then, if you're still really low, go back to Honda and start demanding answers.
