  • Automatic 2000 Civic DX (4-speed with lock at 40mph in 4th), no plans to swap it
  • I'm P&Ging, looking way ahead for coasting opportunities.
  • No EOC temptations yet.
  • Looking into 'stealth' aero mods since I spend so much time at 70mph
  • I'm curious about neutral down hills instead of in gear, I'm not sure what the Honda TCU's Grade-Logic might already be doing. Both ways reads 9,999 mpg on the ScanGauge. I definitely feel engine braking when in gear...but don't the wheels pump the engine when coasting in gear (injectors off), while in neutral the injectors are on light-duty? I've also read that shifting too often into neutral and drive could be bad for the trans.
  • I dont have enough data yet to conclude what my improvements are, but there are some definite improvements
