in other news, my rpms at 60mph (assuming 5th gear, and level road) is roughly 1900 to 2000, its difficult to say exactly, i dont watch the tach for too long. at 65mph (same assumptions) roughly 2200. at 75mph (same assumptions) roughly 2500 rpm. of course these vary depending on grade and who i'm following (i love semi's) i plan on filling up the tank today to see how i'm doing with all the trix you guys have told me.
spyderbite9001, I finally found a couple of links to the service manuals for the 06-08 Civics:

Not sure about the validity of the websites - beware - but they are out there somewhere... Christmas is only a few months away right? *scribbling on wish list*
