How do I find these cars? When I do searches online for the HX or the VX, I find one or two for sale at thousands of miles away... do people just not sell them since they are so good on MPG's and maintenance?

Anyone with this particular car (98 Civic EX) have a record of their fuel economy?

Could I purchase the EX and do a direct engine swap someday with one of the lean-burn engines? I heard on this forum that some racers want to swap engines for little or nothing since those engines are lousy for hot-rodding...

Thanks for all the advice!
