Depends on the tires on the rwd car. Just like a fwd car......but your still riding in a pos civic.
And yes you would get stuck in the snow. I drive my car year round. My best mpg has been 29.1 and it's always better than 27 on the highway. Town mpg is 20-22.

Also back when I had my 99 6spd Camaro, I got just over 30 to the gallon on a road trip. Pretty damn good considering.

But it's still a civic.....nothing you can do to change that. I have another stock engine that can rectify my power deficit. But your probably not making 100 more on pump and from what I've seen you need to make 100 more just to keep up. Those things seem to have quite a bit of dyno queen in them.

id rather drive a mustang or camaro in the snow vs honda in the rain!!!! hondas ******* suck i remember the first eg hatch i totaled from hydroplain, they are goddam dangerous above 50mph in rain and thats coming from a guy that will run 60 in camaro in rain on et streets and 50mph in a mustang on et streets both are safe than honda in rain........ as for hiho's v6 comment if i did another honda it would be boosted j32a in ef.... look at those guys in NY those cars move out and have a little torque compared to the rest of the hondas. i think the j series could possibly 60ft decent just not cheap as b series but would way out perform properly built. then you guys could stop crying for your gay roll race
