Brucepick, now keep a running tally of when or how long it will be before the hypermiling of the Civic alone will pay for the Civic! It'll take me about a decade. But I have already had the car for a decade...

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
