46 mpg city or highway, doesn't matter. So much room I can play racquetball inside. Dry as a bone on all seals and gaskets. Adequate acceleration even at 12 years old. Will definitely keep her for life. Thanks Honda!
46 mpg?
Even the new hybrids can't get that much.
Methinks this reviewer is, well, lying.
We have owned 3 of these, 93 S, 93 Si and 97 S all with manual transmissions and the best my boys and I ever got was 37 MPG. Somehow 46 MPG does not seem all that accurate.
46 mpg? The most I am ever able to get is 40 mpg, and that is only if they are all highway miles. Daily around the city I average about 36. All in all, still great mileage when gas is $2.60 a gallon!
Yes, I agree with other comments provided to this review.
There is absolutely no way that an unmodified Honda Civic del sol S with a 1.5 liter engine will get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway. Expect even less miles per gallon driving around town.
If you use your air-conditioner most of the time around town expect your mileage to drop down from around 29 to 30 miles per gallon to around 24 to 27 miles per gallon ...on the highway it might not be that noticable but there is no way that a stock 1.5 liter del sol model S will get more than 39 miles per gallon on the highway with your air-conditioner on.
With all respect to the original contributor of this article expect what he provided to be slightly more than exaggeration!
