The folks hanging out in Gas Saving Gizmos & Gadgets are really looking forward to some input from all of you who are interested in this conversation...

While the range remains the same-38-42 mpg, we have been getting more tank fulls at 41/42/43 mpg!!!

Replying to: ruking1 (Aug 13, 2007 1:21 pm) I drove my 07 Civic EX to Memphis last week. On the tank up I drove 300 miles interstate and then about 50 miles around the Memphis area. I filled up before the trip home and it checked in at 36 mpg. That was in blistering heat with A/C running constantly and driving 74 or so on the interstate. On the trip home and about 65 more miles of my wife driving to school and back for a few days mpg dropped to 34. So not too bad. I am looking forward to cooler weather to see what the Civic can do without the A/C. BTW, I filled up in West Memphis, AR, price of gas was $2.45/gal!!! I'm so jealous.

Replying to: blufz1 (Aug 13, 2007 12:31 pm) be a man? uh...i wasn't planning on doing this at all...i was just wondering what shipo's stance on what a true full intake system is, i have no plans on doing such a thing...and if i DID, i wouldn't dare what you suggest...i'd end up looking like that kid on the gti commercial when they ask him what his huge hood scoop on his civic does. 'it sucks in air'. 'ya, eet sucks alwight.' having said that, in the tuner world, putting an 'intake' on your car usually means putting on what i posted (the k&n link) there are some, called cold air intakes that go all the way down to the bumper and replace a whole bunch of stock parts...the one pictured is a short ram and usually has modest gains with regards to torque on the dyno. granted, no one who really uses them ever did so for fuel economy.

I just brought home my new 07 LX sedan yesterday. It is tango red pearl which I'm told is good for at least one extra mpg due to color superiority.  Anyway, I found this forum and dropped back to about message 650 to read all about mileage and found the majority of posts are arguments over filtration. Could we please have some more actual mpg reports? Thanks, and I look forward to posting my own when I've driven enough to make one.
