Default I'm glad I have a 4 cyl.

Gas prices are going crazy here in Canada! They are expected to double tonight!
Glad I didn't go with the Cobra or the SS. Won't be seeing those guys at the track anytime soon.

On the same note, I hope all my HT buddies that live in Rita's path are safe and they will get away with as little damage as possible....

Yeah, that's about all I got on a good day on the highway in the turbo ITR!

I've got about half a tank at the moment and will probably go fill up before they raise the price tomorrow. LOL!

yeah, like I said above, my ITR isn't great on gas mileage.

The duRango is even worse though! It gets 14 MPG towing at 65-ish, and 13 MPG towing at 75. I don't even want to add up how much I spend on gas over this last weekend, but it was a lot

I drove my ITR on a trip the other week. 325 miles round trip. About 200 of that is interstate and the rest is a mix of two lane and city bumper to bumper traffic. Only about 6 or 8 good vtecs on that tank and my average was 32.1 mpg. That is with the wing on. Wonder how she would have done without the extra drag... Who cares it looks cool so i will leave it on and pay a few extra pennies per mile

does the itr wing do anything? I mean if your going really fast, does it effectively use downforce, even a lil? or is it completely useless? Always wondered this...I'm sure I could do a search, but we're on the topic anyways...

It seems to lessen "lift", and helps with the Cd overall (particularly with the front lip).

See the second paragraph under aerodynamics:
