Its funny that you list a 92 tempo with 69 mpg lift time mileage with only one fuel entry from 7 years ago. Maybe this car should be retired.
I liked how the guy took 2 pistons out of the accord. I drove my carburated 77 accord around a few hundred miles on 2 cylinders, improved mileage by 25%, reduced acceleration by 50%. It idled twice as fast, but 799 cc is not enough engine for normal driving, semi trucks were faster. It would be nice to have a switch to reactivate.
