450 mpg car

[DierwulfBL]

for the record the CRX HF came with a 1.5l SOHC MPFI (4 injectors) and i think they claimed like 42mpg highway. With my current setup I believe the very best gas mileage I've recorded was right near 50mpg. Although now that I'm doing far less highway driving and more city driving I rarely see over 39mpg and have seen as low as 36mpg. This is where the hybrids really excel. My girlfriend has a civic hybrid (believe the curb weight is over 5k lbs o.O) and she rarely sees under 40mpg even with all city driving. But then again my CRX would stomp her car in a race :-D ROFL

First of all, I didn't realize there was someone else on the forum with a crx?!?! I forgot about the d15b6 too :oops: And how are you getting 50mpg with an si transmission?

I'm only guessing it's an si transmission(was also told it was an si tranny), I tach around 3k @ 70mph in 5th gear and I think thats what my buddies si tachd at that speed. When I saw the 50-52mpgs it was 100% highway (40psi in tyres), so the only acceleration I did was from the gas station back onto the interstate. Also, I drive like a granny and shift around 3k when im driving normally because thats the real reason I have this car is for the stellar gas mileage. The d15b combined with the lightweight doesnt require much throttle to get goin and I use as little as possible. Its been 40k+ since I've changed the plugs and I've never changed the wires so the best highway mileage i've seen in the past month was around 45mpg. My plans for this car are to make it track ready once I have a real DD, and I think the d15b will have to go, but I havent decided on a powerplant yet, and only know that I want something with LSD but cage/seats/harnesses will be first
