The SI and EX trannys are the same in every gear but 5th,but mine has more miles on it. So he doesn't want to swap the entire tranny. As for the VX trans, I know I would get much better mileage with a VX, I would just rather not have gearing quite so tall. I still like to have a little fun with my car every now and then. My mpg goal is only 45mpg right now, maybe 50 one day, but I managed to get 39mpg (which seems terrible compared to the rest of you) on my last tank with only my adjustable grill block and a kill switch. I am positive I will be able to reach my goals with the DX/LX gearing (same 5th as EX, taller FD).
