Hide Tide at Honda
Sorry if repost - I don't visit much any more...
Good read. Civic being top selling vehicle was news to me - but I always suspect caveats when journalists print "facts."
Excerpt:
"So while the Detroit Three plus Toyota were getting hammered on the showroom floor in May, with sales down anywhere from 4.3% for Toyota to 27.5% for General Motors (GM, Fortune 500), Honda posed a stunning 15.6% sales increase. That was enough to vault it ahead of Chrysler for the month and put it in fourth place in North American sales.
Adding injury to insult, the Honda Civic became the best selling vehicle in America - car or truck - and both it and the Honda Accord outsold the once-invincible Ford F-150 pickup trucks."

I wonder why this is so? 
PS...my Civic Si fully loaded down with me and 4 passengers and a trunk full luggage, got 31 mpg back and forth from NYC to Montreal...with the AC on and me doing 75-85.

I bought one in April and my wife is getting 30 mpg in mixed driving and 38-40 mpg on the highway. Great little car overall. We're running A/C all the time in it (Texas heat) and she does a lot of short trips and it still gets great gas mileage.

this is exactly why I don't rock a civic...I get 25 mpg in my s... maybe I just don't get on the gas as much as some people...but man, 5 mpg isn't much of a reward for trading down from an s to a civic.
