The 2008 Civic only gets 35MPG.
The difference is that the '87 car weighs 1000 lbs less due to all the
extra
safety gear in the '08 car.

Oh, wait - I meant, he was quoted as saying, "I wouldn't want to get
in an
<accident in the '87 model."
They need to get rid of all that worthless heavy safety gear. Hell, I
had an 88 Civic and got into a head collision at 50mph. Crawled out
of the wreckage and walked away. Can't say as much for the two kids
that are now graveyard dead in the Toyota that hit me.
