i increased my mpg from 16.7 to 34 in 4 hours!!

yep, the title can be a little misleading, i didnt increase a vehicles mpg i increased mine, long story short, i traded jeep 1 for a 2007 Honda Civic DX coupe.

i have a few plans for it, rear wheel skirts, smooth bumper, upper grill block, and civic hybrid wheels. the car does not have air conditioning, or a stereo and is 5 speed manual transmission. the window sticker and Honda's website have different mpg ratings so i put the websites ratings (the lower of the two) on the garage post. so heres a pic and any ideas / suggestions would be great.

Wow, a white no-AC Civic Coupe 5-speed manual! Just what I would have ordered. I feel like saying "Welcome to EM" all over again.

I can't remember a current-gen Civic Coupe on EM. Does anyone else have one? Maybe you're the first.

Very nice!

Yea, so great step on the no A/C. Most people wouldn't take such a step! Nor any radio! Special order?

when i wanted to buy a new civic that's what i was looking for.. a 2dr dx manual... the dealers didn't have any. All they had were lx and ex with a bunch of accessories to rake in the money...

this latest design of civics are nice cars. I now work a Honda dealer so i'm starting to get quite familiar with them. I've noticed the civics and accords have air splitters before the rear tires.
Great buy, doubling your gas mileage couldn't get easier.
