"weekend trip...70 miles with tires at ~20psi. the rest with tires at 33 psi. 80% highway, 10% stop-and-go, 10% aggressive city.
I'm running black steel wheels right now; I'm looking into getting some moon hubcaps or Honda Insight wheels. Also planning to remove the decklid spoiler, replace 2 tires, and replace the air filter.
Shooting for 38-40mpg with these mods." |
