not for an economy car. the crx hf got somewhere around 50mpg. same body style as the crx si, just less power.
Yeah, but the CRX Si only got 28mpg city and 33mpg hwy. My car gets 27-33mpg depending on how hard I'm driving.

Ran out of bandwidth, and it seems like nobody really cares for reasons other than to criticize, so I'm just gonna let it die.

ah, the joys of modern technology. my car gets 30mpg at 70mph, 26 if i run her hard. i'm sure that if it was fuel injected and had a comptuer telling it what it needed to do and a manual tranny, it would get better gas mileage.

Yup. A car that weighs 2800lbs, (light by today's standards, heavy by your car's), can run the 60 in 6.8s, and it capable of getting 30+mpg.

If I keep it below 3500rpm, I get 2-3mpg better than if I keep it above 3500rpm.
