Some thing to keep in mind - the 2008 Honda Civic (5 speed automatic) is rated for 35 mpg Hwy and I routinely get 37 mpg during my daily commute (75% hwy and 25% city driving). Also the 2008 Civic is an ULV (ultra low vehicle emissions) vehicle that also includes 7 air bags - so it's a lot cleaner and safer than the 2002 model.
