Speed Racer trying to become Fuel Saver . . .
Alright so I currently drive a '94 Honda Prelude Si. I don't know how well people on this page understand automobiles on a mechanical stand point but I am a mechanic and a performance enthusiasts. I've always worried about how to go faster and blah blah but now I drive 100+ miles a day and would like to extend my fuel range. Currently I get 350-380 to a tank of gas. Mostly just 350 though. I don't understand what happens during the times I manage 380 to make that possible. Well for those interested here are my automotive specs currently.
1994 Honda Prelude Si
Stock motor has been changed out for S model Prelude motor F22a1. Allows me to run 87 octane fuel instead of 93 and is the same motor as found in 90-93 DX Accords so is known for be fairly fuel efficient. Problem is the shorter gear trans the car comes with keeps me from peaking the usual 30-35 mpg FE that I seen some Accord guys say they have gotten.
Wheels have been changed from 15 to 16 inch but I plan to go back to 15 inch to save weight and change the tire size to a 195/60r15. Factory size is a 205/55r15 but I'm hoping the taller tire with less width would help with acceleration and in turn reduce fuel consumption.
Well for now that's all I got so here I am and there is some starter info on my background. Hope to learn a lot here. Good day!
