I like that I can see real world mpg, however the info shared at Fuelly is incomplete. Unless the user is bright enough to add a description other than "My Red Civic", I have no idea if their car is manual or automatic or what engine - which affects mpg.
Fuelly lumps the Honda Civic HX with other Civics whereas the HX gets much better mpg.
FuelEconomy.gov allows you to compare mpg of known models.
There are 4 choices for a 2001 Honda Civic & a separate list for the HX.

Doing used car research I went out of my way to find a 2001 4 speed automatic Chevy Prizm with overdrive. Most are 3 speed automatics.
Was it worth the effort? Looking at shared data w/Fuelly, I can't tell if it mattered.
