pics of numbers

Most are pics of numbers with one showing a well needed shade on SC II. I had a 13 and 16 honda crz. The best mileage was in the 13 z as i could easily do engine off coasting. Although i did do it in the 16 was a bit leary using pushbutton start. The usual mods k&n, inlet air heater, 50 psi tp, rear wheel spats, wiper delete, non eth fuel.

Great fuel economy, CR-Z have notoriously poor (for a hybrid) economy. I've been leery of using EoC in my vehicle as well because of the push to start button.

Gorgeous shape, though.

Yeah I've always liked them, aesthetically.

My opinion, they need a taller 6th gear, top gear RPM on the highway was unnecessarily high.

EDIT:

Ratios
1st - 3.143
2nd - 1.870
3rd - 1.303
4th - 1.054
5th - 0.854
6th - 0.689
Final - 4.11

2550rpm @ 65mph, which isn't egregious , but it's about the same as my MX-5, which is a more dedicated sports car with the same displacement and no hybrid assist. Or, 300rpm higher than the Insight, which had one fewer cylinder.

Thanks for all the input. I did belong to a crz forum and most didnt like the mpg but most were of the younger variety and including myself really liked to put my foot in it. There was one member that beat my high mpg but i think he was out west at a much higher elevation.
I bought the `16 because it was the last year of production and said id keep it forever...I sold it to carvana last oct for 1300 dollars less than i paid for it n `16. It was too sweet of a deal to pass up (it only had 29000 miles) It was on carvanas site less than a wk when it had a pending sale.
Prior the the first z i was hot for a Prius and didnt even know they existed. As soon as i seen it the Prius was out the window + 6 speed was sweeet.

I wish my Sentra did that. Running tall tires I´m doing 64.5 mph at 3000 rpms. With your engine speeds my car might get 50 mpg regularly. I need a grill block, undertray, and rear diffuser. Those might do wonders for the Sentra.

I wish my 14 spark did anything remotely close to the Crz, in lucky to see low 30s right now with a grill block and being really light in the pedal. While searching we looked at a crz but the price of 10500 kept us looking elsewhere. It had I want to say 89k on it also which seemed high for their asking price last year .
