I know we mainly talk performance here, but with gas heading for $4gal our cars are looking more like gas hogs all the time. Lately I've been getting 21-22, all city and as aggressive as I can safely get away with. I just started to change my habits to see what improvement could be acheived. Next is non-ethanol gas, should add 1.5mpg alone. So what's your cars best and worst mpg?

Mine is 91EX F22A4 Stock Sedan (except for superflow exhaust). I get 21mpg overall, doesn't seem to make a diff if I'm doing freeway or city driving. The only thing that's ever made a diff for me is when I had my timing advanced I had more punch, but my mpg was lower, like 18-19mpg. Set back to stock timing gave me 21mpg. I also have not changed my sparks/wires/cap since I bought the car 3 years ago! (bad!)

Originally posted by TheNextEpisodeI remember with the F, no matter how hard I drived it or how gingerly I babied it, I would always get 22 mpg. I just got 27.8 mpg (mostly highway) over 14 gallons w/ the H and m2b4 tranny.
Or is it because of the m2b4 tranny?

I average 25 mpg this time of year and 31 or 32 in the summer with the A/C blasting. That's nearly 100% highway averaging 75mph for 100 miles each day. For city driving I average 20 in the winter and 23 in the summer.
All time worse milage I've gotten on this car (90 4dr auto Dx, completely stock, 136k miles) is 17mpg... bad plugs/wires + change to winter fuel + change to snow tires + an hour in rush hour traffic = bad mileage
In my f22 prelude with the auto trans I got typically 3mpg lower than I get in my accord (both autos with A/C). Now that it's a 5 speed I do about 2mpgs better than my accord, but it's got an h23 trans/intake manifold, header, and exhaust.
