    Great car for the MPGs. tuned right and driven properly you could get near or just over 40MPG.

    My daily driver is a '91 Prelude that I bought 5 years ago with 150000 km on it (about 100000 miles). I'm not sure exactly what mileage I'm getting, but it's been the most fun, reliable, all around great car I've ever owned. I'm trying real hard to keep this all-original / no-rust car in as close to new condition as possible. It's a challenge because now it has 307000 km on it and I have to drive it in the winter too. So far, it's a bit dull (red), but everything works and it has less then a square inch of scale on the whole car.
    Love my Prelude. Good luck with your Civic. Should be a very similar experience for you too I would expect. John B

    yeah mine is red and has around 250xxx miles, i think it was t boned in the front end because there is a black fender, OEM bumper, and replacement hood. My grandpa helped me clean and shine it yesterday and fix the leak in the passenger side, so far i love it!
