I told my grandpa that i get 60 mpg as opposed to 28 and i only have like 1000 dollars into my car and he was like, yah but how much time have you wasted working on it. It made me so mad. People dont understand that this is what we do for fun. Its a hobby and it gets better milage and has more cheracter then a 30,000 dollar hybrid. It blows my mind that people dont understand that.

How is that dual vtec treating you? Does leanburn work well/ does it have lean burn? My long tearm goal is to do a d15 dual vtec turbo build. I saw a guy on here selling a car with 230whp and it got 60 mpg.


As for my car, the lean burn kicks in at 74 mph and it rolls between 60 and 70 mpg without any aero mods. I can do it in 4th gear around 64mph but its best in 5th gear with or without lean burn because the rpms are so low with the cx/vx trans
