Beings both yours are Lx's there are only a few things that could make that dramatic of a difference.

It's pretty much either the driver, state of tune on the car or the circumstances for that tank.
I was thinking that too. The opaque air filter when we got it, is the most obvious. And if someone was inclined to a lead foot and got into the Vtec.
