Replying to: newcivicman (Jan 09, 2006 7:08 pm) What percent stop & go driving vs highway miles do you drive? It really varies. My commute to and from work is roughly 2 miles at what would be considered "city" driving, then 15 miles of what would be considered "highway" driving (albeit it is in rush-hour every day, so often times it can be stop and go even though I'm on the tollway), followed by another 3 miles of what would be considered "city" driving. So that's the 20 miles each way to work and back. After work, I'd say most of the miles would be considered "city" - normal neighborhood stuff...anywhere from 30mph to 50mph speed limits. Hope this helps, Warner |

Well I just got my 1st tank of gas. Got 355 miles on 10.84 gallons. So I go 32.75 MPG on the first tank. Mainly commute back and forth to work 39 miles each way, for which 20 of those are usually in stop and go traffic. Hopefully it will inch up on the next tank full. Located on LI.

I'm happy with my mileage. I am getting 29 mpg as the low (first tank) and 32.5 mpg best so far. It seems to be getting better the more it breaks in. I drive 63 miles each way to work, mostly highway driving. I set the cruise around 73mph usually. I usually romp through the gears once a day....I know thats bad but it's a SI!

Replying to: mcap56 (Dec 09, 2005 8:02 am)  by the way, Fujita's is the only intake out on the market for '06 Civic, I actually got one of the first ones as it JUST came out. Best deal is at ptuning.com $250. Respectable dyno results too, approx +6 HP(posted on website www.f5air.com)

Replying to: pelliott (Feb 03, 2006 6:17 am) Can you tell me more about the Fujita intake? Did you install it yourself? Is it emissions legal? And you can really notice a difference in POWER (as opposed to just being louder)? Let me know and thanks, Warner

Replying to: pelliott (Feb 03, 2006 6:17 am) I just checked the dyno chart from the website that sells the intake. It looks to me like you make LESS power than the stock setup until almost 5500 rpm's. I don't do much driving at 5,500 rpm's and over so I think I'll be the stock intake, which makes more power across the board until the engine is nearing redline. Warner

Replying to: warner (Feb 03, 2006 8:49 am) Sorry to tell you this, but you're reading the Dyno wrong(below is the link to it) http://www.f5air.com/images/dyno/ca1920.gif Ok, the two blue lines are stock. The blue one that starts lower is Horse Power, the blue one higher up is Torque. As you can see from the Orange lines(with the intake), the HP and torque are significantly improved even in the lower RPM's. You can definitely feel it driving, even when you're starting off. It feels like a new car now. It is only slightly louder...maybe just sounds a little different when idling and moving around 30 mph or so. The filter is way down in the lower left of the car so there's not as much noise. It's when you give it a good amount of gas is when you can really hear it. It definately is a lot peppier now all speed ranges, I installed it with my buddy in his garage last night. He races cars on weekends and knows what he's doing, there was no way I could've done it on my own in 2 hours like he did, was able to install it without taking off the bumper(went up underneath the wheel well) and took a bunch of plastic parts off of it. Only thing I'm worried about it hitting a huge puddle, might want to get a splash guard or some kind of cover for it, though it isn't down too low in the car. Any other questions just ask.
