Best fill yet: 75 mpg from lean burn CRX



This tank was a bit weird, since it was driving fast out to OH, then a bit of messing around low speed, then burdened with 600-700 pounds of junk in the car. It also included a broken rim and 100 miles with one blizzak and about 300 miles with the new insight wheels and potenza re92s.

Furthermore, my MPGuino was broken the whole time!

Needless to say, I'm pretty darn happy with the performance

I've noticed also that during highway DWL I do better if I don't have trip mpg up. Sometimes I try to hard not to lower the trip mpg and end up creating a lower overall mpg because I should've sacrificed a little bit earlier to gain more later. If you get my drift.

Way to go Ben.

I am envious of the lean burn. For the type of driving I do (predominantly driving with load at moderate speeds down rural highways) I'd be far better off with lean burn or a small diesel than my thirsty 1.0L regular gasser.

Hmmm... 1.5L Honda VX motor in a Firefly? You're putting one at the curb soon, aren't you?
