new to ecomodder - 97 Acura Integra
Hi. I'm new to ecomodder.
When I started college in August and started to pay for my own gas, I started to care more about my fuel economy. I drive a 1997 Acura Integra LS (epa rated 29mpg highway) Before I was getting 30 mpg consistently. Now I'm getting 36 mpg consistently. My best is ~38.25mpg for a tank, and Im still looking to improve! I just recently started looking into aerodynamics, and I began some work this weekend. before http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...3/DSC00132.jpg after removed wing shaved rear wiper removed sunroof visor http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...3/DSC_0073.jpg in the next week or two, I play on deleting the rightside mirror and possibly lowering the car another couple of inches I look forward to learning more from this forum:thumbup: |
Welcome to Ecomodder!!!
Is this what the front of your car looks like? http://www.streetstyler.com/LipPics/9497itrwhite.jpg If it does, I would start by smoothing off the headlights with plexiglass. Holes in the front aren't good for aerodynamics.:D Tell us about your daily commute. Whatever it is, you're doing an awesome job already!! |

I was also thinking about using a 98-01 front end because the lights aren't as recessed. (possibly better aero?) my commute is 50 miles highway ~8 miles city Ill drive anywhere from 360 miles to 420 miles a week which is why mpg have started mattering to me a lot more. haha Quote:

Most egg-salad (excellent). You are in control of your fate. CarloSW2 |
I'm not sure how it effects lighting because my headlights are ok as is. Anyone out there with headlight covers seen any issues?
Here's a how-to: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...-how-4360.html You're numbers are so good already that I assume you know the basics of ecodriving on the highway, but what speed do you cruise at on the highway? |
