I'm new to the forum and am planning to start a bit of a new adventure.

I'm not new to hypermiling. My previous commuter was a '91 Civic DX and one of my first cars was a CRX. Getting 40+ mpg is basically an *expectation* I've always had. My '91 was getting a little long in the tooth at 250k miles, though still pretty good shape overall. I have managed to hit 50 mpg a couple of times with some consistency with it.

I've traded that in for a 120k miles '95 CX that appears to be in great shape. My commute is 35 miles, so 70 miles per day. 95% of which is freeway/highway. 75 mph limit for about half and 60 mph limit for the other half. I think this makes me a good candidate for aero mods, following in the footsteps of those before me.

I think I'll start out slow, I want to get a baseline of where the CX is performing before I start making changes.

Anyway, good to be here amongst like minded folks.
