I just googled something to try and figure out what kind of gas mileage I get on my 1998 honda civic so I can properly budget my money for this upcoming school year living off campus. I like how you explain everything and made charts that can be easily compared. You just present a clear thought process, and I appreciate that. Have a nice day! This is really cool..

I've driven a CR-V for about 18 months and, although they listed the mileage as 24 city/28 hwy (or something close to that), I'm getting 21 or so mpg in mixed driving. So rounding the highway mileage down by 2 mpg isn't nearly enough for real-world driving. I bet she'll be lucky to get into the 18-20 mpg range in reality. And why in the world would your wife need a 265 hp vehicle if a Civic has been suiting her needs? Your estimates on the Edge are likely high.
