New to me 1995 Civic VX
After a long search found this 95 VX. One owner 100% orig and dealer maintained. First tank of fuel realized 54mpg and was not really paying attention to my driving. First mod will be a MPGuino and get serious about my driving. Car will help on my 60 mile round trip commute.

Welcome. Nice start. Great choice for a first mod, instantaneous feed back is a great help. Don't forget to air up the tires and check out the 100+ Hypermiling tips. Two free mods that some believe will give you the greatest improvement.

Welcome!

Maybe get a vacuum gauge after MPGuino so you can practice the DWL (Driving with Load) hypermile technique. That an an injector cut off switch (for engine-off coasting) and pumped-up tires will greatly increase your city MPG and therefore your averages if you have to drive much in town.

My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

Welcome! It is a great forum. Start up an introduction thread so people can get to know what you drive and what you want to accomplish with it.
