A new 5th gear is one thing, but I'm referring to the final driven gear, the ratio of which affects all the gearing at once. You could also just get a different transmission... the HX, VX, or CX transmissions would just bolt on and improve our ratios... I had the opportunity for the final drive gear cheap, so I took it. If I can get a second transmission and tinker, I'll be way-happy.

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.
