In any case, I currently have both cars and was wondering what effect they would have if they were every combined?

Sorry I missed this!
Lean burn would be one thing that would benefit the CX for your mode of driving, but two things you need to think about carefully. First, I think you re mistaken that the CX had taller gearing than the HX. Best indications are that the sixth gen CX Hatch and the HX had the same 5th gear and final drive ratios. Also, I believe the coupes have lower drag than the hatchbacks. Finally, the HX got the lightweight wheels, whereas I think the CX got steelies (about twice the weight).
If all or most of the above is correct, you are better off modding the HX with mods like a power steering delete and aero mods--all of which might make it easier to stay in lean-burn longer and at higher freeway speeds.
Is there much of a difference in the condition of the two cars?
