Yeah that is good. And this list of fuel economy features of the VX, from the article, reads almost like an abstract of the categories of mods peoplle attempt on this site:
Quote:
• VTEC-E engine with lean-burn,
• Changes in axle and gear ratios,
• Multipoint fuel injection,
• Decreased vehicle weight,
• Improved aerodynamic characteristics,
• Low rolling resistance tires,
• Reduced idle speed, and
• Shift indicator light.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
