Hello from North Alabama

New forum member. I have a 1995 Civic DX HB 5-speed w/air I bought around 4 years ago when it had 68,000 on the odometer. I have since ran it to 139,000 with any major issues. I did recently replace the A/C compressor (Denso), dryer, evap expansion valvle and flushed all lines, condensor and evap core. The air takes about 5 mins to get cool on hot August Alabama days but then it blows really cold. With the air running I typically see about 36 MPG and without A/C I average 40-42.

Welcome!

Nice car to start with. If you haven't already, pump up your tires to 45 or higher PSI and you will notice significant fuel economy gains.
