Hi Everyone!

This looks like a really neat group here. I guess I've been dabbling with hypermiling techniques since I first added a CalCustom driving computer to my second car, a 1978 MGB in the early 80s.

Currently driving a 2007 Cobalt with stickshift and easily getting 26mpg in town and up to 37 on the highway. But the new baby is a 1995 Honda VX that I pick up today. It has 215,000 miles, a tired clutch and a noisy gearbox and I'll be trying to figure out what to attend to first. I already know its a 4-wire O2 Calif. emission setup and I'll be trying to sort through all the postings I've read on the internet about converting to a 49state 5wire system. I think it's so sad that leanburn is disabled. But the previous owner said he still got 50mpg on the highway so it's still got a lot going for it.

Later!
