Hi guys
I drive a 1988 Honda Accord. 5speed manual, 2L, Carburated. I commute 45 miles round trip. I just started tracking my mpg two tanks ago. first one was 30.6. I slowed down with the second tank and saw 31.2. I know, amateur. Read through the 100+ tips and then got infatuated with the 35 page thread on the FrankenSwift. Where's my prize, Darin?
I consider myself an armchair aerodynamacist so my efforts will probably lean that way. But I have a lot to learn about driving techniques first. Think I'll re-read that driving tip thread again...
Since I'm carburated, is the vacuum gauge my only option for instrumentation?
