Honda Civic Type R Mileage 

The sporty and race-inspired Honda Civic Type R has flashier and sleeker appearance compared to the sedan to give it a more athletic feel. However, when it comes to fuel economy, the Civic Type R still maintains an impressive fuel-consumption rate. This motorsport-inspired car lets you have it all in terms of performance and efficiency.

The 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine outputs a strong 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This impressive kick doesn’t come at the cost of fuel economy, however. The Honda Civic Type R has an EPA-estimated 22 city/28 highway MPG. ² As you can see, this powerful car maintains the quality of Honda engineering.

Eco Assist™ System

No matter which body style and powertrain you decide to drive home, the 2021 Honda Civic can help you preserve fuel. Each model comes equipped with an Eco Assist™ System, which uses color-coded bars on the instrument panel to let you know how your driving style is impacting your fuel economy: 

• Green means you’re driving in a fuel-efficient manner.
• Light green means you’re driving moderately, with some room for improvement.
• White means you’re aggressively accelerating and decelerating, which decreases fuel economy.

You’ll also find an ECON button located to the right of your shift lever. Press this button to activate subtle eco-friendly settings in your Civic, which will help to improve fuel economy. For instance, changing the climate control to a more moderate setting can boost the fuel efficiency. Other fuel-enhancing settings include adjusting the engine performance to use less fuel and altering the shift points.

When you drive with this system activated, you’ll notice an improvement in the fuel economy you get out of your Honda Civic. However, if you want to free up more power to get up a big hill or accelerate quickly on the highway, you’ll want to turn this feature off.

How Can I Improve my Mileage?

Every driver wants to get the most efficient mileage out of their car, and we’re here to help. We have tips that you can practice and keep in mind during your drives, so you can make each drop of fuel count.

First, it’s good to stick to evenly paved surfaces. The flat pavement gives your tires a solid grip without any obstacles in the way. On the flipside, gravel and dirt roads provide a bit of a challenge to your car, requiring more fuel to drive over. Stick to main roads when possible to ensure a smooth and fuel-conscious drive.

Weight plays a major role in your overall fuel economy. Simply put, the more your car weighs, the more gas it will need to get moving. As you fill the spacious cabin with friends and family, such as the 97.2 cubic feet of passenger volume in the Civic Hatchback, you’ll inevitably need to use more of your gas. When you’re driving solo, make sure you leave your big and bulky stuff at home if you don’t need it.
