Just noticed your thread. Has anyone recommended gauges to you. Our foot and our butt dyno cannot be calibrated well enough for optimal driving. For your OBD1 car, you should consider an MPGuino to accurately measure fuel use and a vacuum gauge to properly identify optimal engine load during acceleration. The OBD2 gauges most of us use are not compatible with your car.

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.
