Im glad I found this site.
I'm currently a student majoring in Mechanical Engineering at PSU.
I was commuting the last two semesters which was 77 miles one way.
Although I'm now living on campus, I still want to learn how to improve my gas mileage regardless of my daily travel.

My vehicle of choice is a a '93 Civic dx sedan, 5spd, 230k on the odometer.
During my long commute I was getting a consistent 43 mpg (speed limits, all unnecessary weight gone, never going above 2500 rpm, 95% highway miles)

Future plans:
- swap in the hx trans I have sitting in the garage.
- find a set of vx wheels (very light)
- possible vtec-e engine install

(I am very fluent when it comes to Hondas and automobiles. Currently own a crx which is strictly for drag racing. 580whp, 135+ mph trap times)

I look forward to learning new techniques and possibly giving some technical advice when needed.
