That car being a Honda, instead of chasing theoretical lost MPG that you're not sure is lost, it might be better to add something that can gain you MPG, for sure. Lots of cheap tuning solutions for Hondas, from ECU-swaps to chips to Hondata (pricey though) systems... just check for legality in your particular state...

again, I'm trying to understand how this post, while well intentioned, really pertains to the ops. How is he chasing 'theoretical lost mpg?"
Remembering he has the VX model.
And I have yet to see, ANYBODY telling me that they ABA tested their mods.....
come on......at least AB?????
