Why the Civic VX is a superior highway fuel economy (FE) machine

(Originally written October 28/06)

The seed for this post was planted by Dan saying...

Now, if there were a high speed FE ranking, the VX would be hard to beat. Even without drafting, I can maintain leanburn at 75 MPH.
No doubt, it's the king. It's what I started out looking for when I decided to go all out looking for a fuel efficient ar 2 years ago. And the fact is it would better suit the type of driving I do normally do.

I tell you, if one ever turns up that's in good shape and not too rusty, I'll be sorely tempted to pick it up.
