  • Similarly, Honda's fleet average CO2 emissions was 307 grams/mile, an improvement of 22 grams/mile from 2014 results and 49 grams/mile lower (better) than the industry average for the 2019 model year.
  • The EPA's very first ranking of America's most fuel efficient vehicles in 1976 had the Honda Civic ranked number one, and subsequent reports have consistently shown Honda among the leaders in EPA's annual fuel efficiency measurements.
  • That means that for more than 40 years, Honda has made fuel efficiency a priority in its products.
