Hi
My 2.0 TDi Sportback does around 40mpg+ in urban driving, and 50-60 on cruising, speed dependent. I have driven the 1.9 on a loan car and its quite a low power engine (105bhp?) - I noticed that I was having to work the engine quite a bit to get reasonable performance out of it, the same experience I had with a 1.6 auto. Would this account for your figures? Perhaps seems unlikely if you got 50 odd from a Civic. At 7500miles though, I would suggest the car is barely run in. Do you get better figures at steady cruising?
