Re: Question regaring MPG (tjtruong)
IF you short shift 3500 or so and do alot of freeway driving at like 70mph you should get better milage with the I/H/E I did for my 99SI I got on average 33MPG when I was suposed to get 31 MSD helps alittle as well.

Re: Question regaring MPG (jond)
ya quite the same...i shift at around 3grand, mainly because the civic gas tank is really small. the b18c5 motor is pretty efficient though when you keep it out of VTEC during ur daily driving.One thing I positively dread though is going on the highway...at 120km/h im usually at around 4grand..hence my perpensity to stay at 100km/h (or the legal speed limit 
)

Re: Question regaring MPG (SpoonCivic)
I regularly get 33mpg highway at 70 - 75mph, 20 - 21mpg around town with a heavy foot, and 11mpg at a track event. Not bad for a car with this kind of performance.

Re: Question regaring MPG (JDM_Type-R)
Intake and exhaust mods will improve your fuel econmoy. That is if you drive the same as you did before the mods were installed.

well, keep it below 3k rpms and you should have good mpg but you'll be going sloww

Re: Question regaring MPG (Willard)
The fuel injectors are off (at certain rpm range) while coasting with your foot off of the pedal.

...should be ~1300 rpm and under where the computer starts adding fuel back into the cylinders.Austin

Re: Question regaring MPG (Austin)
Driving a Volvo (several of them) you learn to save as much fuel as you can.
Barn door shape = drafting makes a big difference.

Re: Question regaring MPG (Austin)
Drafting does work. 
Also, coating in neutral probably uses MORE gas since you are burning fuel to stay at ~idle rpm. You probably save more gas by coasting IN gear, besides, it can be dangerous cruising around in neutral because you can't suddenly apply power and change direction or whatever....
As stated, short-shift and make gradual throttle changes. Anticipate slowing down (red lights, traffic), so you don't brake too hard and waste momentum.
