Joe has reached a million miles in his Accord!

Joe LoCicero, from Norway, Maine, drove his 1990 Honda Accord to one million miles. Congrats Joe!

Driving a Honda for a million miles is an extraordinary feat. So how did Joe do it? For starters, he's read and followed his owner's manual and maintenance schedule to the letter. He's also a stickler for fluids, he checked them weekly, switching them seasonally (10W-30 in summer and 5W-30 in winter), and changed them every 5,000 miles. He's been loyal to the same brand of oil and never let it go below a quart low.

You know how most people let their fuel go to almost empty? Joe never did. He's also a creature of habit, using only Honda air, oil and fuel filters. Joe never rode heavy on the brakes, and changed the fluid every few years. He's also replaced the fuel pump, both cooling fans and the radiator twice.

Besides his fastidious maintenance, Joe's Accord made it to one million miles because he's loved it. He's treated it with respect and always drove it responsibly. In fact, Joe has only gotten one speeding ticket in a million miles—that must be some kind of record. When it comes to driving, Joe's the man.

Honda Announces 2012 Civic Natural Gas Pricing

by Honda in the News

Designed with the same attention to detail and customer satisfaction found in the rest of the 2012 Honda Civic family, the Civic Natural Gas—formerly known as the Civic GX—is now easier for drivers to enjoy than ever. Not only does it offer affordability, with an MSRP of just $26,155, but it’s also currently on sale at 200 dealerships in 35 states across the country; the 2011 version was sold only in California, New York, Utah and Oklahoma.

 

That makes the car a strong alternative for drivers who want to dramatically reduce their carbon footprints without dramatically reducing their bank balances. Consider: Just by running on clean-burning compressed natural gas, the vehicle is able to reduce CO2 emissions by some 25 percent as compared to one with a traditional gasoline-powered engine. In fact, the Civic Natural Gas is the cleanest internal-combustion vehicle certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is so eco-friendly that it qualifies for single-occupant access in the “carpool” lanes in California and other states.

Further, Honda engineers also worked diligently to get more mileage out of the car’s fuel source. The 2012 Civic Natural Gas owns EPA ratings of 27 mpg city/38 mpg highway/31 mpg combined, representing improvements of 12.5 percent in city mileage, 5.5 percent in highway driving and 10.7 percent in combined fuel-economy performance. The car incorporates Honda’s latest ECO Assist technologies as well, allowing drivers to get the most out of these increased capabilities with a selectable driving mode specifically tuned for enhanced efficiency and a suite of feedback resources that “coach” more economical driving.

The Honda Civic Natural Gas is still the only dedicated natural gas-powered passenger vehicle manufactured and sold in the U.S.
