Nice, huh?!

I'll agree with Old Tele Man (above). It certainly is possible. Long before ever ecomodding my 1998 Civic DX Coupe (exactly like your car), I once got 44 mpg across one whole tank by driving gingerly and only 55mph across a long freeway run. BTW, check out my car's page. Since we have the same car, maybe my mods will help you pick yours. I'm doing pretty well on the gas. And I have made mistakes I can help you avoid if you want to correspond. PM me. Good luck!

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.
