Welcome. Love me them Hondas! An MPGuino I think solves this problem tracking FE with a dash mounted read-out. Check this link: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ures-8355.html

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.
