I've found watching the current MPG readings to be a huge help in adjusting the nut. Too bad the 95 Civic didn't come with that. I have a 95 Civic EX that I'm trying to sell or I'd get an MPGuino for it. Mine has the auto trans, and it's harder to control than the auto in my minivan, but it gets much better mileage anyway. I'm not a fan of EOC with an automatic because you can't do a kick start, but the van has DFOC and that helps me when I do what I call "pulse and glide lite" with the engine on and tranny in gear. I don't know if the Civic has DFOC.

Take pix of the mods and share!

You'll get that 500 mile tank, and many more!
