I had the same problem. I complained to Honda about the reduced mileage since the update. They did something and the mileage was better for a while and dropped again. I received a letter about a week ago saying there is a recall on the 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid’s IMA system for certain VIN numbers and that I would have to take it in to see if mine is one that is recalled. I plan to take it on my next service to Honda to complain about the reduced MPG again and the posssible recall on my vehicle. It is frustrating when you buy a vehicle to save money on fuel and it does not get what promised. So, again I will be pleading my case to Honday about the reduced MPG again and hopefully get results.

You are CORRECT! If you're set on a hybrid, nothing matches a Prius for mileage. When I traded in my older Acura for a new Prius, my Toyota dealer gave me $2000 more for my Acura than the Honda dealer was willing to give me for a new car there. It was a no brainer, and I am happy with my new red Prius. If I allow anyone else to jump into my vehicle such as a car wash or valet parking attendant, I check to make sure that the person is familiar with hybrid technology and will know how to start, stop, and park the vehicle. Right now with a 2011 Prius you get 2 years of maintenance services FREE, and my dealership also provides FREE car washes for as long as I own the vehicle and bring it there for a wash. The electric motor is warranited for 8 years /100,000 miles, so I will probably trade the car in around that time if not sooner. I am just not one to keep any car too much longer. Life is short---I like NEWER lol

We've had a Civic Hybrid since 2007. As the article stated, the recall software reboot, "to save the batteries" reduced our gas mileage to below 38mpg. THAT is very unpalatable to us, since they advertised the car as getting 48mpg and the EPA sticker numbers said that as well.

The car looks good, but it does not perform well. If we had to do it over again, we would buy the Toyota Prius because that car actually does get about 48mpg.

I drive my Honda Civic hybrid 5,000 miles a month advertising my company through a Car wrap. I chose the Civic because I prefer the looks and saving extra money. Being able to depend on my car means everything to me and besides it is fun to drive and easy to handle. That says it all doesn't it.

I just got a used Civic hybrid and I'm very happy with it so far. I just moved to Ann Arbor for grad school and had good luck shopping for cars at Ann Arbor Used Cars
This is my first hybrid.. so far so good!

So how many gallons does 2011 Honda Civic Hybrid hold? How many gallons of gas would I save annually if I bought the 2011 Honda Civic Hybrid? I am thinking of buying this vehicle…..

Good move Honda -- why change something when it is not broken? The reason the Civic has been such a huge American (and International) seller is because of reliability and consistency. GM should bring in some Honda consultants lol.
