Way to go, though,
This is the kind of self-competition that I'm really enjoying. I can spend thousands of dollars to get my Accord into the 12's, and what do I achieve? Nothing; thousands of other Accords are modded in the same way, and some yokel with a warmed-over Camaro can achieve the same thing.

Getting an Accord to 45 mpg, on the other hand, not only is an accomplishment among Accords, but an accomplishment among all cars--just as 70 mpg is an accomplishment in a Metro (yeah, I'm talking about you, MetroMPG.) :-)

Last fillup is 35.70... with no mods so far except tire pressure. Working my way there!
