the more combustions you have in lower gears the more each piston goes back and forth. also, i dont know how ok and tx do inspections, but in nj you cant run obd1 in an obd2 car.

anyway bbgobie, you have the right idea, stay away from 18 wheeliers, the cost of a windsheild every year is not worth the extra couple highway mpg. out of curiosity do you have the type s or base?

Edit: Forgot, I got the premium, auto. I do over 100km a day, and a lot of it is in heavy traffic, and my leg is already a bit sore, so I dind't want 2 wounded legs.

sorry i should have clarified who i was talking to with each statement. the obd1 vs 2 comment was to kwtorbe, not to you. to the best of my knowledge the scan gauge should work fine in the rsx.

unfortunately since you do have the auto, accelerating slowly does save you more gas. either way, enjoy the ride and yes you are the first rsx in gassavers:)
