Hi everyone,

I've been a fan of the site for some time and only recently created my account. I'm a mechanical engineer in Portland, OR who upon discovering that my girlfriend and I have a baby on the way decided to take the plunge into a new project direction that saves money since I anticipate increased expenses in other aspects of life.

I have a 1992 Civic VX that appears to be stock except for the removal of the factory grill-block off piece by a previous owner that I hope to get a routine 50mpg from without EOC or drastic driving changes. The first refill put mpg at 44.6, but ~2/3 of the mileage was from the previous owner, and I am confident I can improve on that.

I look forward to making improvements on the car and hope to be a useful contributor to the community.
