How much does the Civic weigh and how much torque does it have? There lies your answer. I get 45 mpg in my Jetta in combined city/highway driving and I don't even try that hard. And it has plenty of torque to go over the mountains at 10,000 ft. The new Jettas get slightly worse mileage, but they have even more torque and weigh a little more.
