Lean Burn License Plate - Honda VX results

Took a year to get this on my Honda VX, as Kansas has a slow system for personalized plates, but I now have the plate that I ordered a year ago.

The all-time mileage for my car, in a year and a half of ownership (about 18,000 miles) is just shy of 42 MPG City/Highway. AC sure brings it down, but oh well, it was a hot summer

I wouldn't give the state an extra cent for anything, but that's just me.

Get them something else to wreck up. It is a rare kid that does not abuse their first ride.
