Woo,
LaFawnduh!!
Exactly the same as my old Honda. Except mine was called Fred.
'89 Accord EX 5-speed (LX with power windows & locks
), which I sold ~5 years ago, and found out this week that it was just retired by the guy I sold it to because someone gave him a free Acura. Well, he's keeping Fred for one more year for winter beater duty. 440,000 km / 273,000 mi.
FYI, in summertime
highway driving, I regularly got 40 mpg US (5.9 L/100km, or 48 mpg IMP). Just by keeping the speed down to 90-95 km/h (about 55 mph).
The EPA vs the EX (and the V8): beating the ratings - MetroMPG.com
My only real efficiency mod was the VX wheels. And their weight advantage in stop/go driving was probably cancelled out by the horrible aerodynamics (vs. the stock wheel covers) at highway speeds.
PS - welcome to the forum.
