Hi, some of you will recognise me from gassavers.org. I have a 94 civic VX, with grill block, synthetic fluids, and 124k. After a year with this car I am really starting to like it. At first I had to get used to the really tall gearing and fix the lean burn, but now it is a joy. I live up a dirt road in the mountains, which kills my fe especially in the winter because the sun never hits my car. I use it as a daily driver, family car, and even do farm errands with it, picking up chicken feed, etc. In the winter I get 45-48 MPG and in the summer it is around 57 MPG. I still have high rolling resistance 175/70/13 tires...am waiting for them to wear out. Other than that I am thinking of some smooth hubcaps soon, and maybe even a short boattail (nothing basjoos style yet).
