I concur that the steering doesn't need any boost. Half my driving is without power steering because of EOC. On many other cars it's different but these Civics are ok.

Does the mpguino have instant mpg? Aim for 25-30 mpg while accelerating and you'll be close.

HX drivers would do well with the mpguino since OBD readers (Scangauge and Ultragauge) can't calculate lean-burn mpg correctly.
