Finally broke 60 mpg (bone stock '95 Honda Civic VX)
Filled up the VX today and recorded 62.92
Not bad for a 100% stock 95VX. Little more than driving mods.(eoc, p&g), and running 50psi on tires. Psg mirror is folded in but as of right now no other aero mods. Next step a few mods and see where she goes. Nice how really paying attention to how you drive can pay you back in so many ways. |
Nice! You've pretty much put the $9000 Civic VX built by Import Tuner magazine to shame, with a basically stock car.
|
Yes, as I have less than a third of the cost of theirs into mine.
|
nice!
Civics have viturally no blind spot...you can completely remove the passenger mirror...then replace it with a wide angle rear view mirror Car Mate Black Metallic Finish Wide Angle Mirror | Product Details | Pep Boys |
Well as I have tinted windows on my vx Wa state requires that I have a psg side mirror. Planning on going with an interior convex should fit the bill.
|
CA requires a passenger mirror too... but still roll without one because i live in the danger zone. :cool:
I got pulled over by highway patrol once because i was driving to slow...the cop asked me what all my stuff is on my car..i told him its aero to help with mpg...he laughed...gave me a verbal warning about my missing mirror.... then he left. :p |
Congrats, Bugzilla. What type of driving was the 60 mpg tank (cruising speed, conditions, traffic, etc)?
|
Awesome. And no "lightweight shifter knob" for thirty bucks!
|
Very nice. Welcome to the 60mpg club.
|
60mpg tank was 60/40 hwy/city. 55mph on hwy most of the time. City was touch and go but nothing really slowing me down. Weather warm and dry. In reality I was shocked. Was expecting right about 58 as usual. 62.92 was a pleasant surprise.
