Ok..i need all of your Opinion's..!!!

[DOZER]

Ok..so i have a 91' EX Coupe 5spd..i love it..but..it's killing me in gas...not that much..but it is..plus..i only ride alone...so i was thinking of getting a smaller car..now im picky with cars..so i already know what i want..i want a 91' CRX Si..why?..cuz their small..i can park anywhere ..and because it would save me more gas than my accord..now..it's not like ima dump my accord cuz im fixing it..but i kinda wanna leave it as a weekend car..and since ima re-paint it drop it..wheels and all that..if i take it to work..they might key it or dent it or fuck it up..so yea..but i just want to know your opinion on this topic..so what do you guys think?..or if not a CRX Si..what should i get..??

[JohnD1079]

not to be derogatory, but arnt stock CRX si's hard to find(im not sure if the Si's even exist). If you want fuel economy, get any old honda civic from a old peron thats stock everything. Or you can get on of those old corrolls or tercell. But i recommend a brake upgrade. Also those little POS Hyundai Accents get like 40 to the gallon i think.

change oil
clean injectors
fuel filter
clean egr
clean iac new antifreeze
check tire pressure
keep stock rims or same size


don't let the car warm up all the way about half way and go
keep rpm high

try using this it work

buying a different car u would be paying more-maintain-the car+insurance=$$$

id rather figure out a way to get more gas mileage out of my cb before i got get another car.

figure out why your car isnt getting good MPG. if your making 350mpt(miles per tank) and above then your doing good. but if yor not then you need to check out a couple of things under the hood. like he said: spark plugs, spark plug wires, EGR valve, IAC valve(i know when i cleaned this it raised my gas mileage by a few miles) and the intake filter.

change out the exhaust for an aftermarket one. i know when i had my exhaust done it raised my MPG even more. find the things that would help your motor to work easier before you spend the extra money on another car and insurance.

honestly....thats what I did....my cb7 was getting like 22 mpgs or so and since I was going to school and was going to be doing alot of driving I needed better....I got a 96 civic hx...and believe it or not....I'm getting 41.5 mpg highway....I love that vtec e.....if you need good gas try and find a hx somewhere.....manual though....the cvt trannys suck on the automatics.....good luck though .....or get a metro....

[DOZER]

I see...and i actually found a stock '91 CRX Si stock black(my fav color on cars) but their asking too much for it..and i just recently changed the IACV and the other one next to it..it does need a tune up..hhmm..and yeah..my uncle has a 00' HX and it does great milage.. ..but still i dunno..

Why would you want to keep your rpms high, that would use more gas?

[accord2nr81]

keep the cb and buy a bicycle

Thats what I was wondering..

What kind of MPG are you getting with the CB that you are "getting killed on gas?"

Just curious. I drive my CB pretty good and I still manage to get good gas mileage.. Later

[spray_bombed]

yeah those si are pretty cool little cars....one of my buddies has one....we lined them up once (not like this matters) but the f22a1 got him by like 2 or 3 cars....but they are still quick cars....especially off the line....but yeah he was getting in the mid 30's with the mpgs....with a heavy foot....basically all you need to do it get a metro...slam it...and get 50 mpgs on 3 cylinders

[DOZER]

Well...i pumped $23 which almost got me to the top..it was scratching the F line..probably a the size of the toothpick was the gap between the meter and the F line...and i set me timer..and when it was on E it had 278 miles on it..and yeah..i bike?..lol..it takes me 25min to get to work going like 80mph...now imagine going like 5mph on a bike..lol..nice thought tho.. ...

pedaling at a crusing speed is at around 12-14 mph in a full sized 21 speed moutain bike.. trust me i have been riding my bike to work for two months when some punks set my car on fire.

just driving all hiways takes me 25 min to work at 70 mph. it takes me 35 min to bike to the nearest train and 15 min ride to a mile from my house and 10 min to get to the front door.

cars good with gas milage with a 5-spd is
2gen ford escort LX (1.9)
91-95 civic with the 1.5 (at 70mph crusing set at 2500rpm)
and the 5-spd neons

check out http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm

i get average in my accord which is a 5-spd lx at 31mph and go from there....

[deevergote]

I believe it's the CRX HF that gets INSANE gas mileage... like 40+mpg, from a dinky 63hp engine. No power, even in that little car... but you'll be able to drive forever!

[DOZER]

Cuz i also saw a 93-94 Civic Si Hatchback...they where seeling it for 2,800...the paint job was aight..not too bad...the inside was clean..no hits..a couple of dings...but you'll have to get up close to see them..but then again..Si..more power...les mpg..but then again...a civic..the dude is selling it cuz he's moving back to Mexico..so he's selling all his stuff...and ima do a tune up on my car and get some treatment for the injectors at autozone see if that helps..

[Ralphie]

Yea tune up man.

93 Se with 179k miles and i dog the shit out of her.

Last test i did, i got 350 miles per tank driving from Savannah to Jacksonville and back.

Just make sure all the maintaince is up to par and if it is and it still sucks gas then you might have bigger problems.
