I've got the '06 LX AT sedan with just over 1,000 miles. So far I got 3 fill-ups averaging around 32-33 mpg. I drive mostly highway so was expecting to get something better, maybe at least 35 mpg or better. My last Civic (a 2001 LX manual) used to average around 37 mpg doing mostly highway. I do recall when I first got that car, the gas mileage wasn't on the high end but it did get better after putting more miles on it. The manual says the break-in period is supposed to be after 600 miles so I was hoping this last fill-up at 1000 miles was going to improve even slightly but it hasn't.

I guess I will wait a bit longer and see what happens.
