Frankly I think 36 mpg is awesome for the 'fast' civic, especially when EPA was 29 mpg highway.

How'd you DO that? I recently made a round-trip of 630 miles, controlled-access highway all the way, averaged 74.3 mph. Got 31.8 mpg.
(I guess there was a little in-town driving at the destination, in there. 93 octane gas. I have about 7500 miles on the car, now.)
