Congrats on great cars for ecomodding, though the auto transwill limit you. Let's see... The LX didn't come with vtec. But someone could have swapped the engine. Quickest way to know is pop the hood... if it says vtec on the valve cover in big raised lettering... you'll know you have an engine swap. The vtec was the EX and Si models's performance package, and it got significantly poorer fuel economy. The vtec-e was the fuel economy version of vtec, and it had significantly less power. If you had vtec-e... the valve cover will likely have those letter embossed in it.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
