Thanks for the tip 'cowmeat'. I used to do that with my Maxima, but then I figured it wasn't worth it to use the starter so much. I want to see what kind of numbers I get just driving normally first, then I'll start using the hypermill techniques along with the mpguino.

I've had 4 Maxima's already and they're great cars but I became interested in FE a few years ago and have wanted a small 4cyl Honda for a while...so here I am.

I finally finished off my first tank on the VX after doing mostly short trips of 2-5 miles in the city and I got 310 miles on exactly 8 gallons for a mpg of 38.75

I suppose that isn't too bad considering the shape the car was in when I got it and it's also a CA model. I just did an alignment myself and will also pump the tire pressure up to 45 and see if I can squeeze 40mpg + out of it next tank.
