The redesigned 2012 Honda Civic debuts today, with evolutionary styling and an eye toward higher EPA fuel-economy ratings in an era of soaring gasoline prices. Even though the EPA has yet to weigh in, Honda says all Civic models get higher EPA fuel-economy ratings versus the 2011 Civic — and there's a new Civic HF that gets an estimated 41 mpg on the highway. The magic mark is 40 mpg in this segment, something that is achieved by the 2011 Hyundai Elantra. The 2012 Civic sedan and coupe get an estimated 39 mpg on the highway, says Honda, falling just shy of that benchmark.
