84-87 Honda CRX mileage

I am trying to find out which year and exactly the gas mileage of the CRX that
got the great 60? mpg mileage in the middle 80s. Also a place to get mileage
info of other cars would be good too.

You may be thinking of the Civic Coupe HF.

These would be the venerable 1984 Civic CRX 1.3 liter, which did an EPA
rated 51/67 MPG city/Hwy, or the 1984 Civic CRX 1.5 liter, which did
52/57. (I think both were 5-speed manuals). Sad to see Honda touting
~50 mpg Civic Hybrids more than 2 decades later........

Exactly. Its ridiculous. Why pay $25000 for a new hybrid when you could buy a
used CRX for 2500 or less. And of course they should be way farther ahead than
they are now.

Thanks, I checked that. They don't have the early CRXs listed. Why is that?

Dunno. Guess they only tested certain models, and maybe the old CRX didn't
sell in high enough volume to warrant the expenditure.

Hmm.... never thought of that. I thought they tested them as soon as they were
available.

....and before that there was the Honda Civic FE in 1982 and '83. I have
an '83 that averages 45 mpg in mixed driving.

How about Honda's first attempt at building a car for the US market:
the 1972 600 Sedan and Coupe? They claimed 54mpg highway, as I recall.
I owned one briefly in 1977. Zero to 60 in about five minutes. )
