2001 CIVIC DX, 5 Speed, 196K miles.

38.6mpg City
41.1mpg Highway

Have Mud Flaps
Pressure 34psi all around.
No hub caps, just steel wheels.

I drive mostly highway, 170mi (hilly terrain, route louisville <-> georgetown, ky I64 & I75) a day, back and forth from work. Got a scan gauge, trying to push more. love to hit 45.

So thinking of removing mud flaps to get a little more. I like to get a underbody skirt to close cavity behind rear bumper, just like to buy one if someone sells it.

Question is, can I get this engine D17A1 Engine to be a little lean with out damaging it.
