EDIT: I did it. I quit my two teams and the main page's list of "top gasoline cars."
Latest tank is an improvement, despite driving faster. Check my fuel logs. You'll see that a lot rests on whether I did my gps calibration of the odometer readings correctly. What I have learned is that the VSS and the speedometer gears on the fifth gen CX and sixth gen DX transmissions are identical. Which means I am calibrating the new readings (because I thought the CX tranny would require it, having been designed for 13" wheels) only to discover the trannys are identical, so I should have been calibrating my pre trans swap readings too. My bet is that Honda gave the sixth gen taller wheels for style points and compensated for the resulting odometer/speedometer inaccuracy with a tire brand that fixed all or most of the discrepancy. My current tires are not the OEM and are probably a little larger. Strange, huh? I'm tempted to quite teams and take my car off the gasoline vehicles list because my FE readings seem so chaotic now.
