The Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla are like the Hatfields and McCoys. They are sworn rivals, and the two vehicles seem to revel at going head to head at every opportunity. Of course, when you have two rivals, one has to come out on top. That’s true with every competition, including fuel economy. Let’s see how the two stack up so you’ll know which is the better option for tooling around Clifton, New Jersey.
City and Highway MPG
Let’s say one person takes a Corolla to Sharky’s East in Clifton and another takes a Civic. Who will burn the most gas? Well, let’s just say the guy in the Corolla should have asked for a ride in the Civic. Not only would the guy in the Corolla get someone to watch the game with, but he would also stop wasting fuel. The Honda Civic gets 32 mpg in the city and 42 mpg on the highway, while the Corolla lags behind with 28 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.

The Engines
If you’re looking at fuel economy, you have to think about the engine, too. Since the Honda has better fuel economy, you probably assume the engine is weaker, but that’s not the case. The Corolla comes with a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 132 horsepower. The Civic comes standard with a more powerful 2-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 158 horsepower. You can also go with a turbocharged engine if you want even more horsepower. That extra horsepower will make those trips to Paterson Great Falls National Historic Park and other area attractions a lot more enjoyable.
