I just registered as a user today and thought I should introduce myself. I live near Seattle WA, drive a 96 civic HX and enjoy backpacking, cycling, hunting, fishing and building stuff. Interested in improving the MPG on my HX. Thought about replacing the sideview mirrors with cameras and digital display, reducing the electrical demand and therefore the horsepower necessary to generate power. I.e. enable a vent mode on the climate control to allow mild airflow without fan motor, LED lighting wherever practical. Taller gears for efficiency a higher speed. LRR tires & lightweight wheels. Just bought new tires and lost a couple MPG, grrr.

Anyone else try some of these ideas.
