Yes, the less you are on it the better.

You have to find right above where your motor "lugs" and try to stay there.

Less work for the motor = better milage.

If you are soley saving gas go for a HF or a STD.

My 88 hatch with the D15B2 and STD tranny gets 38-39 on daily commute. Commute is 25 miles of highway and 15 miles of city(one way). Of course I can't pass bicycles, but I catch them at the red lights.
