Getting started with my 02 RSX-s
 

Yep, it was designed with something else besides mileage in mind, but I've always managed to milk decent mileage out of it, now I'm trying to get better. I generally average about 31mpg, but my foot, roof rack, and winter gas can wreck it down to 26mpg (or worse) and my recent best is 33.95mpg.

I have a few questions that I'll save for the right place, but I'd appreciate any feedback I can get on folks who've worked with this car.

Welcome to EM! I will assume you have this one :

My wife wanted the base version, which was no MPG slouch :

I've always been interested in the RSX' MPG potential, so it will be neat to see what you can do.

I've always been one that could eeek out better mileage than the EPA, but this car has been a challenge. I'm looking forward to putting a ScanGauge on it so I can fine tune the nut behind the wheel. I'm also aware of some venting/damming issues up front that can be easily remidied so I'm hoping to get it into the 36mpg range at least.

I really wish I hadn't totalled my 1987 Civic CRX HF. I could drive like a complete idiot and manage 45-50mpg and one time managed 65mpg returning from a roadtrip to Vegas.

I just want two or three more years out of the RSX, then I'll buy a proper hypermiler. It has 125k miles on it and if I can get to 180k without spending anything more on it I'll be in great shape for buying whatever I want in 2012-2013. There's so much on the drawing board right now for fuel efficiency, I think waiting should pay off in spades.
