Well, then I guess you'd end up with Ben's CRX (SVOboy)!



- Cd 0.30 in stock condition - his is now lower with the partial grill block and lowered ride height

- lean burn VX d15z1 engine and taller gearing

Ben's car is capable of ridiculously good mileage in lean burn mode on the highway. If he relaxed a little instead of blasting down the interstates at 70 mph, he'd be killing his fuel log with 70+ mpg (US) tanks in the summer.

Although, to be fair (meh), he hasn't had a tank below 50 mpg (US) since he did the VX engine swap.
