South Carolina boy here
Just joined this group after discovering it today. I drive a 92 Honda Civic CX with over 400,000 miles on it. My main commute is from Greenville, SC up the mountain to Asheville, NC and a secondary commute from Greenville, SC to Greenwood, SC. I drive the speed limit for the most part and do a lot of coasting, sometimes with the engine off. I used to keep my mileage database over at the Green Hybrid, but have transferred this past year's worth of MPG data over to this database. The car is called "Keeps on Rollin' on both databases.

Why did you decide to put
Why did you decide to put the DX engine in the car when the CX engine kicked out? Which transmission are you using now? How's the car doing for rust? What kinda speeds are we talking about? All highway?
That's a nice car, great numbers too. Sheesh, I heart Handa. |
Welcome to the group
Welcome to the group basjoos. Looks like you might have a thing or two to teach us. Very impressive mileage.
I'm just curious about a few things with your car. First, I'll second SVOBoy's question about you using the DX engine. Second, did you keep the CX Transmission when you went up to the DX engine? Third, what about the computer? Fourth, what are your secrets? |

What annoys me is the more
What annoys me is the more members we get the better the gas mileages of the log. Mine is nowhere near there. I can't wait to purchase a honda.

Was the cx built for fuel
Was the cx built for fuel economy. I just looked up the specs (Looks like it was). That is a big penalty for the auto tranny.

You sure got over your
You sure got over your sickness quickly, I still feel like crap, :p
But on an unrelated note I just found a washer in my basement that looks like what disco suggested would fix my fuel problem. |
