which is better geared for fuel economy, the DX 1.5 or the ex 1.6?

EDIT- 92-95 civic specifically.

not sure but i'm guessing the 1.5 since it's a little motor

arent they both??

they both are labeled to get over 30 mpg. how much more economic do you want to get?? the dx has longer gears which would be a bit better for fuel

the dx for sure. heres my experience i have a z6 and my friends shop put a dx tranny on, long story. anyways i would drop out of vtec when i shifted but i could get like 300+ miles on a full tank. now a couple of weeks ago i bought a y8 tranny and u can definately feel the difference but now i get like 275 on a full tank. i could get more but i dont have a low gas light and everytime i filll up it says im below E but i always put in like a lil over 10 gallons

The dx has longer gear ratios so it will give you better fuel economy.

if your worried about gas and not acceleration u should just get the cx tranny
