Welcome! Be sure to tell us all how your improvements pan out; especially: any adjusting of the nut behind the wheel that we all go through!

thanks ! yeah thats the hardest part changing how ya drive, a little easier to do in the element, since its slow. but removed the roof rack and already notice since last fill up a 1-1.5 mpg increase, aired up the tires and driving slower for hopefully more improvements

the rsx a little harder since its hard to drive it slow its 300hp but trying to see what kinda mpg i can squeeze out
