I had 2018 Honda Civic LX sedan with the K20C2 and the six speed manual. An under powered engine with ECO mode active is a bad mix. The dumbed down throttle response and the steep hilly roads killed my fuel economy. It takes longer for my vehicle to get up to speed when I drove spiritedly with ECO mode on. These reasons are why I turned ECO mode off. I even drove with the A/C on and off in the mix to see how my vehicle operated. ECO mode is not effective unless you are maintaining a speed of 35 MPH for a very long time.
Econ dulls throttle response and increases the AC compressor cycle length. At full throttle (which this video was done with) the throttle valve is opened all the way and the AC compressor is switched off anyway. Eco mode makes no difference on this car.

How u getting 57MPG bro
Mostly luck. Hot weather combined with long trips at the speed limit and few interruptions.
@Grafyte is that the hybrid version or 2024 regular sport.
@@pero456peromahy It's not a hybrid.
@@Grafyte that's amazing. I only get around 33 mpg avg. In cali and the speed limit
ECON Mode too?! LMAO

thats pretty bad but i guess it really isnt supposed to be a fast car though.
High elevation, slightly uphill, wrong fuel, short shifting, soft launch/shifting ... could definitely shave 1.5-2 seconds under better conditions.
