A San Diego Superior Court judge tentatively has approved a class-action settlement between Honda Motor Co. and Civic hybrid owners who claimed their cars did not get the gas mileage they were promised.

The settlement, which was reached last September and is expected to receive final approval today, provides Civic hybrid owners $100 to $200 each and rebate coupons toward another Honda purchase. The class-action attorneys will receive $8.5 million.
