Shoot, my wife does not want me tinkering with her car, either. But that's not because I don't score 60+ mpg tank-to-tank in my Civic. It's because she does not want her warranty voided. And because she thinks some of my ideas are nuts or ugly, even though we all know they work: such as tire pressure or an airdam.

I don't think the fact that his wife keeps him away from her car under warranty proves anything...

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
