yea... i average pretty low too but i'm not too sure exactly... i drive mostly city too but when i'm on the fwy its usually traffic... damn la traffic!
Ive started to use shell and this past week i noticed my car got a LOT faster for some reason. I now pull on my friend's 02 LX with i/h/e. Before I used to seriously lag behind.. i think its the gas plus the fact that ive been on waaaay too many canyon runs lately where having the motor in VTEC the whole way up/down. hahahaha.

Rep Power: 0 i think gas gets old after awhile though and there is build up at the bottom... if you wanted to store gas for a long time, you can buy some additive at your auto parts store to put in the fuel (or put in the gas tank before storing your car)

Rep Power: 334 Okay, wtf?
How do you get over 400?
I guess my car was never broken in properly (thanks to some ****er at Hondaworld in Downey).
I get about 300 a tank. That is about it, roughly. Sometimes I get 330.
I drive freeway...a little city.. but mostly freeway.
I use alot of AC.
But of course, I have rims and exhaust.
Does the exhaust really make a diff? I thought my exhaust woulda helped not harmed my gas mileage...LOL
BTW, how the heck do u not rev over 3K when driving? How do you ever accelerate? OMG... I'm like revving at 4 or 5.... our cars are high revving cars!! It's not possible to not rev higher than 3!!

Magnolia? Hmm.. Lemme think. LOL. Yeah, it was me. You must have seen me on a Monday, perhaps? I had a dr's appt that morning. Yeap. I have seen a few incas around, but of course, no incas modded to perfection like mine (hahhahahhaaha, mine is the best). And where were you? How come you didn't signal to me or wave? haha. I woulda thought you were crazy though...j/k

I think it was tinted right? so I couldn't tell if there was girl inside.. plus I dont really remember what u look like anyway.
and i doubt u know what I look like, so I'd just be another weirdo waving and signaling at a girl in a car. not good. heh.
nothing identifies my car damit. heh.
well the neuspeed lower tie bar. i haven't seen any fool wasting money on that yet... oh and soon the oem kit, kinda lazy to put it on...
well I'm glad your TCS is fixed. heh. I didn't hear anything funny.

Rep Power: 334 Yeah. It was me. I'm surprised you couldn't see me inside my tint; that is good though - ya woulda been scared. I don't like to be seen. haha. Incognito.
Exhaust is fixed but not the same. My car rattles like crazy -- feels like my car was stripped or something and put back together PLUS I got new complimentary scratches all over from those assssholes.
So you must live really close to vietnamese land. hehe

He said vietnam land in response to her asking if he was in that area. People really should read a few posts up before typing.
This is one time where I am happy I left CA to move out east. Gas is $1.50 to $1.60 here on average...although I have seen as high as $1.69. We still have nothing on england...after converting from liters they pay roughly $4.00+ a gallon.
