Welll here it is!!!! My gassaver project...

Here is what it looks like...
1993 Honda Civic LX Sedan
5spd
d15b7

First drive:
9.082 Gallon = 334.8 miles so 36.831 mpg

Grille Block Mod
 
Grille block has been done...i will do some calculation this weekend becuase im driving down to florida....a 1500 miles trip....with the grille block and a gas leak...a drop ever sec....so with my calculation every droplet is .00251ml and 60 sec x 60 min x 24hr= 86400 drops x .00251ml = 216.864ML x .0002641 [1mil = .0002641 gallon] = .057 gallon....i dont know if i did my calculation right lol.
so hopefully that make me get more mpg when i calculate it.

Oooh! i'm quite jealous of your gas mileage / mph !!!

I am a long time reader on this forum and first time poster. I currently have a 2000 Civic auto that I try to drive for max mpg. I am interested in following your mods and mpg gain as well. I am looking at a grill block for mine.

I would be interested in seeing just how much mileage you could get at say 65 mph and with no cargo and really focusing on max mpg. It might even go mid/high 40's. Good luck to you and keep us posted.
