Idea for HX in the MPG wars
It seems that nowadays with gas being pretty expensive that a few of the major manufacturers are making a point to advertise the fuel economy of their cars.
The HX already gets outstanding mileage. My question: Couldn't they add easily enough a 6th "super econo" gear? One that would have a max speed around 80-85, only used for crusing on flat terrain....

it would take more gas because the engine isnt in its peak powerband. so your throttle would be down farther, and more gas would be entering the engine.

that would be a good idea but i would believe that adding a 6th gear would be costly for honda in terms of buisness.
p.s. HX are great, san jose to LA on one full tank of gas

no they couldnt easily add a 6th gear.
I know what you mean though i was just curising in this thunderbird doing 2000rpms@80mph, even my CX tranny isnt that crazy
