Hello everyone. I'm glad I found such a great site. A very good read with top shelf advice.
I have a 98 civic 2-door coop with 166K on the clock. My best tank with no mods was 42mpg. It is my 62 mile DD, (half highway miles). I just refilled and got 40 mpg today. I am looking forward to trying some of the hypermiler techniques. I already drive like an old man according to my daughter. A few mods to start with will be radiator block and air dam.
A couple of questions. Is zero toe safe? Will a mini kamm on the trunk deck have much value? Due to WAF (wife acceptance factor) no full kamm or boat tail. Regards, Paul Q

Welcome. Even if a mini kamm helps 1-2% i'd put it on if it doesn't cost much to build.

I just got a 99 Civic Coupe and i was looking at the lines of the car. I think i might just use a sheet of coroplast from the top of the rear glass to the end/top of the trunk

The old ball and chain vetoed the kamm off the roof line. I was wondering if a mini kamm on the trunk deck would have any value? Thanks, Paul Q

0 toe might be ok if you don't drive very fast, and don't have to deal w much wind.

One of the cheapest things that might be a fun inexpensive project would be to decrease
or eliminate the outside mirrors especially since if you have a pass. side one.

Plenty of tips on here how to do that. A smaller driver's side can help reduce that flag effect!

Don't be scared to bump up your tire psi. at least by 5psi.

FYI, the 1st generation Honda Insight came with zero toe from the factory. I don't find it a problem at all.
