From what i've seen it looks to be 60% load from 1750-2250?
I learned from watching PaleMelanesian (a member of this forum). He had a 96 DX and now has a Fit. I have a 98 DX. For 5 years I have been driving almost every day to work: 75% to max 80% load, 1500 or 1700 to 2000 or 2200 rpm.

My best tank ever was 70mph. PaleMelanesian got at least 90 once and regularly got 80.

Hope that helps...

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.
