10 - 1973 Civic 1500
We could not have a Top 10 list on the Civic without starting with the beginning or is that ending with the beginning... Back in 1973, Honda introduced what was to become their halo bread & butter car. With a 50 hp 4-cylinder engine and an ultra-low curb weight, the Civic managed an easy 40 US mpg (5.9L / 100 km) 40 mpg doesn't sound so special now does it? Sweet car!
