A History of High MPG

Answer 1

Honda distinguishes itself among car makers by providing consistently high miles per gallon, or mpg, no matter what the make or model of its vehicles. The Honda hybrid sedans, and a newly retooled venture into extraordinarily high mileage scooters, offer the best gas mileage of any of its vehicles. However, the company has a long history of manufacturing standard vehicles that offer better mileage than any other type of vehicle.

The 2010 Elite scooter has a 107 mpg, which is an astonishing feat. This incredibly high mileage is due in part to the 108 cc engine, which is both liquid cooled and fuel injected. Although available for purchase in Europe, where it has already experienced a fairly high rate of success, the Elite scooter has been slower to catch in the U.S. This has been blamed on both a sour economy and the general perception that scooters are gas guzzlers.

Honda’s next highest mpg vehicle is the Civic Hybrid, which averages 45 mpg on the highway. Unlike the Elite Scooter, the hybrid allows for the comfortable seating of 4 or 5 passengers, and does not expose its occupants to the elements. The Civic Hybrid was not the first hybrid on the market, nor the most successful, a title so far held by Toyota’s Prius. However, Toyota has recently experienced a slew of bad press, giving Honda a chance to dominate the high mpg hybrid market. With a 4 cylinder engine, the Civic Hybrid provides enough power to make driving fun, without wasting tremendous quantities of gas.

As to other vehicles, including large cars, Honda consistently provides the best gas mileage in its class. The Accord has been ranked as having the best mpg of large cars, with a gas mileage on the highway of 31 mpg. Honda’s dedication to high mpg is not a recent trend, nor is it tied to a fleeting policy. Throughout the years, Honda has engineered its vehicles to provide the highest gas mileage possible while still respecting the comfort of its passengers and the reliability of its engine. Its Civic and Accord models have always garnered tremendous mpg over long periods of time. Honda’s dedication to building the most efficient vehicles possible has created a fleet of high performing, high mpg cars, trucks, and motorcycles. If this trend continues, Honda will continue to manufacture the most gas-conscious and cost-effective vehicles for every class of consumer.
