Hi from Kansas! 94 Accord

Hey guys, been lurking for a week or two. Had a 05 f150 that got 13mpg, cost me $230 in payments, $130 in insurance, and $200+ in gas every month. So at least $560/month just for the truck. Between that and my mustang it was just getting too expensive. Sold the truck, bought my neighbors 1994 accord lx for $1k with 139k miles, it had been sitting, all it needed was a battery and I've been driving it two weeks now. No more payments, $30 insurance, and so far mpg is looking great. Didn't start driving nicely and using hypermile techniques until I had 1/2 a tank left and I still got 28mpg. MPGuino is ordered, figure I can get this thing into the high 30s easily. I also have a 2004 mustang cobra, I won't be hypermiling it though, in fact I'll probably be doing the exact opposite, it's supercharged and runs on e85, makes 700whp which is about 800hp at the motor, keeps me sane while hypermiling this honda yet it's probably more "green" than most the vehicles on here since it runs on e85.

I'm 24 yrs old, assistant manager at QuikTrip in Wichita, KS. Going back to finish my mechanical engineering degree in January, only have 1.5 yrs left
