Glad you are enjoying the transmission feel. If you get into big mods eventually, you might consider a transmission swap to a Civic HF trans of the same year or generation. That would bring your freeway rpms down and increase fuel economy. See the gearing differences here: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ios-26279.html

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.
