Honda Civic, 1978

EPA mileage estimates explained.

  1. So "all estimates are lower in California and high altitude areas" - I understand high altitude areas but why California? Because being parked while on a highway uses more gas? Driving 2 miles an hour for hours isn't effective? I think it's also interesting that the ad says "the CiviC 1200 is NOT AVAILABLE in California or high altitude areas". I don't know that I've ever seen one either, here in Arkansas.

  2. We bought one new in 1978 (in Canada). Great little car — loved that it had a manual choke knob on the dash.

  3. Graysailor comment, I think they had different emission systems? Why would that car need a choke knob, i wonder?
