do you have a b16 tranny?
my rpms are about that high, but i have a jdm b16 tranny, not a gsr. when i had a gsr, i was around 3400 rpms or so.

no everytthing is stock going at 80 MPH and my RPM at 4000 - 4500 is kinda weird for me...not used to it yet...before in my D series i was going at 80 MPH it was at 3500 i think..

yes thats normal. I have a LS with a b16 tranny and on the freeway my rmp reaches 4000-4500. At first i was wondering why it was so high then i later contact the guy where i bought the motor from and he told me it has a b16 tranny not a LS.

Just wait until 4400 RPM when VTEC engages - you want to talk about a hit in fuel economy . . .

NOt really from what I've been told is that the ecu is programmed to run lean while your cruisin like that... I get an average of 30 mgp on my b16 in my civic and I do hit the vTEc!!! quite often

Re: (SiKid86)
i dont think it works if you part throttle the car (crusing ).... so crusing in vac = no vtecH...why would you want to cruise in vtec anyways?
