Realistic MPG?

[JaredK]

Looking for a commuter car and the crx hf was on my list for obvious reasons for the mpg. Found this one on craigslist but don't know much about the engine that he says he has in there but what is the realistic mpg I could expect out of this car with this engine. Thank you! http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/3534480000.html

Don't know about the engine but the price looks way to high to me. I wouldn't pay more than $1000 for one even in good condition. It's an 88 ffs.

That's a clean CRX but the price tag is a little high. I'd pay around 1,800 assuming it doesn't have a billion miles on it

Considering you're in southern california where gas pumps are your worst nightmare, if it's in great condition functionally and has a decent amount of miles, i'd pay $2000 for that max. and no you won't get 50 miles per gallon out of a car made in 1988 more realistically like 35 on average with city and freeway driving around fontana. I bought my 99 civic dx in october for $1900. 11 years newer and $500 cheaper. i'd hold out for a better deal.
