I have a d15z1 (Vx engine) in my Crx. The main thing you need to do to get the mileage that the Vx is known for is to keep it in lean burn as much as possible. The trick is to keep a light foot on the throttle, nice easy gradual acceleration when you can. I've been able to maintain lean burn up to about 70-75 mph sometimes on relatively flat roads. but its generally easier around 65. Obviously though driving slower will net better gas mileage. You'll get use to it after a while of driving it and you'll be able to feel it when it goes in and out of lean burn. You'l feel a "boost" of power.
