the regular civic doesnt stomp all over the fit. it only has slightly higher grip and a better ride. gas mileage is better though.
but c'mon you guys, why bother trying to get 35mpg on a civic si that is made for high revs? you dump the economobile for a sport compact to drive more ecnomically? use it for what it was made for!
the reason the auto civic does better is because its a newer engine with different gearing. simple as that.
and the auto fit is rated much better than the civic si as far as mileage goes, the auto fits city mileage almost bests the si's highway mileage!
not to mention the si drinks PREMIUM.
