Well, the answer to that really depends. I’d say yes, no, and maybe all at once. The Honda Civic Hybrid gets an amazing 50-MPG, which is about the same on both cities and highways.

Since the Honda Civic sedan gets between 30 and 40 MPG, which in itself is extremely good, I feel safer using the older yet more proven and more reliable gas technology. However, the Honda Civic Hybrid is certainly getting better each year, and I’m sure I’ll be reevaluating my thoughts on the idea of getting one soon.
