They ran the original 1984 CRX HF at a steady 55 MPH and got 73 MPG. Don't remember which car mag it was but the car was new, so it had to be sometime in 83-84. Not hypermiling at 20 MPH averages, a steady 55 MPH. They started in California and drove it 735 miles on a 10 gallon tank without running out of fuel.
I bought a new 1984 CRX 1.5 because the HF's acceleration was about 13.5 seconds to 60 MPH while the 1.5 was right at 10 seconds. I averaged 44 in my 1.5 without even trying, but the speed limits back then were 55, so I stayed around 62-65.
That was for 50 k miles and I bought the car brand new. It was serial number 1018 made in July of 83.
