At the old double-nickel 55-MPH speed your TSX is probably good for 39-mpg as she sits.
To get 35 @ 75,you've got to cut that road load down.And streamlining is the easiest way to do it.
The rub however,will be the 'look.'
Many ubermenschen concept cars of fabulously-high fuel economy were tested at 50-mph.
