I rarely ever test the same vehicle more than once in a calendar year. However, I made an exception for the 2025 Honda Civic because my initial week-long testing earlier this year didn’t yield the results I was hoping for.
Being a hybrid, the Civic was supposed to get a combined fuel economy of 49 mpg. Instead, it came up way short at a disappointing 36.2 mpg — so that’s why I decided to borrow it again to see if a change in scenery could make a difference.
