05 Civic HX successful start

Second tank success story. Applying more driving techniques from ecomodder I was able to jump from 42 mpg on my first tank to 53 on my second tank. Starting to be able to tell when I am in lean burn, and caring less and less about the minivans blowing past me on the highway.

Minivans blowing past you=drafting opportunities and talking advantage of the "corridor effect".
Like having them give you free gas .
