Thanks for the info, we have roughly the same setup ('97 DX Hatch, HX engine/wheels, $25 '95 CX trans I refreshed with new bearings, grill block, Tein S.techs, Koni Yellow/Tokico white combo, etc but I have a 6-pt. chromoly roll cage) minus the mirrors, kill switch, & tune. After a brief 1000 mile test mule run, she gets 50 mpg give or take. I don't use any EOC or what I'd refer to as advanced hypermile techniques, just an Ultragauge + vacuum gauge to give me an idea of how much foot I need to plant, unless of course I'm late then all bets are off & I make mother nature cry. I'll give them a call whenever the O2 goes out or the EGR acts up too much & probably come out ahead vs. buying a new O2.

P.S. Do you have any current pics of your ride turbovr41991? Just curious to see how my car twin looks.
