Great News for the 2012 Honda Civic! Turns out USA Today and Cars.com have teamed to evaluate five cars, each seating five passengers and costing under $20,000. Each of these getting over 35 MPG highway. In a series of tests, including a mileage verification test. Reportedly this test spanned a course of over 161 miles. The course was mixed city and highway. We like that!
Not surprising to us, rumor has it the 2012 Civic won, hands down with an average of 36.8 mpg. The Honda Civic bested the 2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS by 2.3 mpg...even though the Elantra has an EPA rating of 33 mpg combined city/highway versus the Civic's 32 mpg.
Those that followed included the 2012 Ford Focus and the 2011 Chevy Cruze and the 2011 Kia Forte.
Cars.com will publish these figures on Monday....for the overall prize as the best high mileage car for under $20,000.
I know who I'm betting on!
