Good luck with the Eco Civic, any other plans?

@ 98 octane petrol, €1,83 per liter makes for $9,11 dollar per gallon in the States! True story!

This latest round of price risings is changing my mind about selling my smallest motorcycle!
Sad but anything can sometimes help

Congratulations on the nice Civic. Yeah bringing it back to stock will definitely help out with mileage. I'm no Civic expert though, but we have a few here that know quite a bit about them and can probably help out.
That would be great

Very common in the Netherlands. I found a website where one can see what kind of car they have affaileble for parts. But the USDM Civic EG has been sold very bare-stock. No alloy wheels here.

Would be interesting to find out if the USDM one has magnesium wheels?
