Hello all -first post on the Honda forum. Got my eye on an 07 plate CTR in auto trader its a GT spec in black and looks the nuts(only 8 miles away).According to the ecconomy figures that auto trader give the car will do a combined figure of 31 mpg.Is this the sort of of figure any of you guys see on a daily basis with normal driving?
according to the economy figures for my old focus st it was meant to do 30mpg, i averaged 24mpg over 2 and a half years.
the civic type-r can be very juicy too when in the vtec as it will be a lot of the time, and my friends new type-r used to do a litre of oil every thousand miles where my ST did not use a drop.

Had my 07 CTRGT for 3 weeks. Did a 410 mile motorway run in it after the second day of ownership and managed 36 MPG at motorway speeds. 36 miles round trip to work - not much VTEC - and average about 30 MPG. If you VTEC every time you use it, don't worry about petrol consumption because you'll pick up that many speeding points you'll be banned!

I did 125,000 miles in one. It averaged about 30mpg doing 85mph motorway runs (used to calculate brim to brim rather than any on-board computer rubbish). Best ever was 46mpg doing a 170 mile, 60mph run. At full chat you'll be high teens to low twenties.
Aye I use to get better MPG in my EP3 as well, must be the less weight

As people have said, driven carefully and off vtec they can give good MPG and to be fiar, I drive like a granny day to day and then have fun when I want to.
So keeping it to 60 is no issue with me, as long as it would still blow my skirt up when needed

Go for it, I dont regret buying another one. As people have said, driven carefully and off vtec they can give good MPG and to be fiar, I drive like a granny day to day and then have fun when I want to.

I have a '57 FN2, and so far after doing 57k, have a lifetime reading of 32.8mpg
I drive her hard when approporiate (- it is hard not to!) and do a 30 mile round trip to work, consisting of mainly A roads, though there is a good mix of 30/40/50 limits. At the moment, the current tank mpg is about 34-35mpg. Overall it seems to have improved the looser the engine gets - it's very tight from new!
