Really surprised since the Si has a low geared tranny. I never used the highway and most trips were short and the motor didn't get the chance to warm up often so there's lots of room for improvement.

Thumbs up!!! I have an 02 ep3, and my best tanks were 37 mpg. Its colder now, and mileage is dropping. I know how much work that takes!!! I have yet to get a 40 mpg tank. My tires at 40 psi front, and 44 rear. It rides like a brick.
