Not to jack the thread, but since this is a "Civic Only" thread, i'm still having a hard time trying to figure out the whole "accelerate with 80% load" thing. How can I determine 80% with only an mpguino?
Oh btw, not to toot my own horn, but i took off my power steering belt and got my best tank ever of 48mpg! but now my girlfriend is back in town so I chauffeur her around every day so my daily commute is about 80% city.
Plus on top of that, my girlfriend got tired of all of the "strange looks/pointing and laughing" from random ppl on the streets so she forced me to take off my aero mods. Plus on top of that, California highway patrol finally pulled me over for driving too slow on the freeway (was doing 45 up a hill...so obviously i was dwl, if he gave me more time, i wouldve eventually sped up when i reached the other side of the hill. It was 2am anyways. I explained to him it was for better mpg. He was cool with it, but said its for my own safety in case drunk drivers crash into me from behind). Plus on top of that he says state law requires at least the driver side mirror, so i had to put that back on.
So now my new challenge is to get better mpg with pretty much city driving and none of my good aero mods. =(
