according to the actual sticker, a brand new HX will get 39city to 45 highway..

the realistic mileage is 33 city to 41 highway.
your facts are a little skewed foo!
my civic said it was suppose to do 38 mpg on highway but on my trip back from texas i was geting about 43 so you cant trust the sticker
