Hey all! I'm Joe. Stumbled across this site when I was describing my driving style to a buddy to explain how I was getting well over EPA rating for my Civic when he brought up the term hypermiling. I had never heard of it until last weekend but so far I'm digging this site. A lot of helpful info and this last fill up I did was my highest yet and I hadn't even learned some tricks from here til halfway through a tank. Hoping for 40+ !

Anyways my car is a 2007 civic Si. Only mods I have are ones I did a long time ago and probably not the best for MPG but it doesn't seem to be hurting too much:

Injen Short Ram Intake
GReddy Sport RS 60mm Exhaust system
16" OZ Superleggara rims

The rims I like they are definitely way lighter than the stock ones. As for future mods I plan to pretty much just keep it as it is, except I have ordered the Scangauge II.

Probably next spring I might look into seeing if I can find a mid 90s DX as a daily driver since it seems many are getting 50+ MPG out of those with little to no mods.

Anyways, glad I stumbled upon this website!
