Taking the difference between your average MPG with the Tacoma and your average with the HF and assuming $4/gallon gasoline, the HF will have paid for its purchase price in saved gasoline in about 12,000 miles, or maybe an average American's annual driving. Add another four or five thousand miles and its average over the Tacoma will have paid for the Civic EX too. This car will save you lots of cash, and it's freakin' fun too.

So what are your next plans?

BTW, do you know which final drive transmission it has? The 2.95 FD or the 3.250 FD.

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.
