Long time Lurker and semi-hypermiler...

And like the title says, I've been looking at this site for over the past year. I've never had to register because I never had any other questions, except until now...

Ever since gas hit over $4 a gallon down here in Houston, I sold my 22+mpg getting 1985 Crown Vic, why? I just couldn't squeeze any more MPG out of her. That's when I bought my CRX HF. Now, at the time when I bought this little rocket of fun, it had (still does) the entire Si driveline. I didn't know jack about Honda's and I probably would have waited for another CRX (perhaps with the HF engine and trans), but I'm glad I didn't as this car is super clean, and I have yet to find another one like it. Now on to the equipment...

The engine in the CRX is actually a ZC (d16a6) with the Si trans (3500 @ 70mph), however I am still convinced that I can get 50mpg out of this car. It has 2 1/4" exhaust (no cat), HKS Super sport exhaust. The car is actually extremely quiet, and does not sound ricey at all. It also has Neuspeed Race springs accompanied by Tokico Illumina 5-ways. A home-made fender well CAI and a Megan header are the only items under the hood.

So far, I have made some fog light block off plates, and I made an under the front bumper pan to block air from being trapped in there. I made it like the one on the Prius or whatever Japanese car they were testing it on.

Any who, my question is since I have an HF, but it has the Si driveline, what should I list my car as in the Eco-garage? Thanks guys for all the help in the past as well as the future!!
