Agreed. Get it here. Also agree with those suggesting pumped-up tires. I run 55-60psi all the time and have for over a year now I think. An airdam is probably one of the easiest and best cheap mods. Black lawn edging. Search here on EM for some of the builds.

Welcome to another Civic ... (we are colonizing the forum!) ...

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.
