Replying to: dani_tin (Sep 17, 2006 3:56 pm) I have a new SI, just put 306 miles on 10.998 gallons. Equals 27.82 mpg. Mixture of city and highway. Just went over 600 miles, so barely breaking in. Replies to this message: ritlin (Sep 21, 2006 5:42 pm)

Replying to: riposte (Sep 14, 2006 12:57 pm) Riposte,    Prius not unless they get a manual. I have partipcated and lobbied for a manual Prius forever. Like high mileage and technology. But trade S2000 no way.   Converning Corvette, lots of torque allows .50 6th gear and 40 mile per thousand rpm so 60 mph is 1,500 rpm. if you cruise gently on highway you can get good mileage. Again my pooint was missed about VTEC being on solution. Corvette is very specailized two person little cargo , fast, expensive $45K-60K. Buick is the old folks car. Corvette is a very specailizeed example of a V8 that can get decent highway mileage and I would guess it doesn't meet very many people's needs unless it is a second car like my S2000.   VW is a whole diffent story. Nice performance, nice handling, lousy service and realablity. Had an Audi once! and the service manager and all the service technicians knew me on a first name basis.   So far in 28K miles on Honda Accord have spent less than $100 on maintenance and have had Zero(0) problems. Got better than 35 mpg on highway last trip ( V6, 6-speed) So far the S2000 has not cost me anything in maintenance, but still fairly new. The S2000 like the Si is an inteactive car. if you want to appreciate it you shift and get into VTEC range. If you are a lazy older driver you get a v8 slushmobile. .. and yes you can get a Corvette which gets good highway mileage.   LOL I SHIFT,   MidCow

hm i wouldn't say si drivers are completely mpg averse but they probably care less about mpg than ex and lx drivers.

Replying to: homerj_1 (Jun 05, 2006 3:33 am) It was the air bag in the rear passanger window pillar, I took it back to my dealer explained to them what I did and they ordered a whole new air bag system for that side, and it fixed it, Come to find out that the one that was installed was not securely tighted at the factory and it was rattling, I hope this help [homerj_1]   I'm late in replying but: THANK YOU. I hear the same noise in my Si and my mom's EX Coupe. I figured it was just an '06 coupe noise. (: Now we have something to check for! woo.

Replying to: dani_tin (Sep 17, 2006 3:56 pm) I just found out about a recall on my 2006 civic Si. It is some kind of software recall that has to do with gas milage. I don't know if that helps or not. I have been having a lot of problems with my visors. Both have been replaced, and now the passenger's visor is messed up again-about 2 weeks after it was replaced. I hear this is a common problem. Anyone else know about this? Replies to this message: carfanatic007 (Sep 22, 2006 1:43 am) nick001 (Sep 24, 2006 8:01 pm)

Replying to: carfanatic007 (Sep 18, 2006 8:32 pm) Oh, BTW, I am averaging 27-28 mpg most of which is city driving(Si). Oh, and I have really been enjoying it lately. I actually had it up to 114mph(don't tell).     On the highway I got 35.5 mpg once(I rarely just drive the highway, so I haven't been able to repeat it, but have no reason to believe that it's not possible if driven to support fuel economy-even at 70 mph). I use a STP fuel additive as well and only synthetic oil(Mobile 1 I think).     I hope this helps, but again, refer back to the recall issue. I have never in 10k miles gotten worse than the 23 mpg!

Replying to: ritlin (Sep 21, 2006 5:28 pm) Recall? I have received nothing from Honda on a recall. Any recall you will receive a letter from Honda stating such. Replies to this message: nick001 (Sep 24, 2006 8:01 pm)
