Which of the Canadian civics have lean burn? There are some half decent 1996-1998 civics around me these days. But which one would I get if I want to get in the 50+ MPG zone? There doesn't seem to be a such thing as a Civic VX here, and there sure isn't anything called an HX either.

When I was in high school I had a 1993 Civic LX 4 door sedan. I recall that my summer time figures hovered around 15km/L, which was my measurement at the time. That converts to 35MPGUS, which was great because I was 17 and drove the *** off that car. Hypermiling hadn't been invented at that time. That car had a 1.5L D15Z engine, or something like that, and I assume it had lean burn?

That engine did not have vtec. Are the non-vtec engines the one I should be looking for?
