The Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC has once again proved its impressive fuel economy by claiming the 2015 Honest John Award for the Best Real MPG Performer.

The Best Real MPG Performer award is new for 2015 and demonstrates the rising trend among consumers for increased efficiency and fuel economy as a priority in the decision making process when buying a new car. The award is based on real world fuel consumption data submitted by thousands of drivers.
