That was with an ideal route that I no longer have.
That was in ideal weather (Texas hot dry summer).
The eco tires were well worn, so at their peak performance.
I was 100% focused every time I drove, tallying every stop light or sign that was less than perfect - it was a lot of work.
Full time P&G eoc.
There is something special about the 90's Hondas that the recent ones just don't have.

Mods were minimal - smooth wheel covers, high tire pressure, eco tires, Scangauge, blocked grille (in Texas summer! but watching temps with SG).

GO FOR IT!
