CRX HF envy. I has it. Post a pic or 2!

As for tires, I'd say: keep the 14 inch rims and get some gen. 1 Insight tires - 165/65/14 Bridgestone Potenza RE92's. Ben (SVOboy) put them on his CRX and was amazed at how nicely they roll.

Did you account for the larger tire size (if they actually are.. just guessing here) throwing off your odometer reading? It would have caused it to under-report, making your calculated MPG lower than actual.

And - welcome to the forum.
