Seems about right. The fifth gears are the same in the 6th gen HX and the VX. The HX final drive is 3.722 and the VX 3.250. That's about a 12% difference.

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.
