Replying to: aviboy97 (May 05, 2007 7:55 am) I have a 2006 Mazda 3i with manual transmission, and I regularly get over 35 mpg on the highway, with my average speed around 75 mph. I don't quite understanding how they formulate the new EPA numbers, as I regularly beat the old EPA estimates, particularly on the highway. On one road trip, I averaged 37mpg driving at a constant 75mph. Replies to this message: aviboy97 (May 07, 2007 11:38 am)

Replying to: eldaino (May 07, 2007 9:38 am) Never said the Civic was "uneconomical".   its more impressive for it to take such a hit, and still be way on top.   Well, every mfg took a hit, not just Honda

Replying to: eldaino (May 07, 2007 9:31 am) Hehe... it's my first Honda... and while I'm not exactly a spring chicken anymore, I thought it was funny, as this dork was revving it like some kind of Carrera or something, I just had to... I did say it was childish Replies to this message: eldaino (May 08, 2007 8:01 am) aviboy97 (May 09, 2007 8:55 am) eldaino (May 09, 2007 4:37 pm)

Replying to: iomatic (May 07, 2007 2:20 pm) who the guy in the rabbit? or one of the other ones?   i must say i would never do such a thing, seeing as how my rabbit is only slightly quicker than my old 06 ex,   ...funny thing is, i've seen numbers for manual tranmission ex's and 4 door si's and they are not to far apart...   (7.7, 7.1) at least thats not HUGE to me...i dunno, have you ever timed yourself iomatic?

Replying to: eldaino (May 08, 2007 8:01 am) i've seen numbers for manual tranmission ex's and 4 door si's and they are not to far apart...    (7.7, 7.1) at least thats not HUGE to me   The power advantage is seen over 60mph in the Si vs the EX, LX etc....remember, torque gets you going, and neither really have any. Once you are at a higher speed, the HP takes over. That is where you will see the difference. Replies to this message: eldaino (May 09, 2007 4:37 pm)

Replying to: aviboy97 (May 09, 2007 8:55 am) oh yes i totally know that...but on both cars have engines that have this style of power delivery, one just has a lot more than the other.   having said that, i figured the difference would be bigger, it just does not look like it, although i'm sure if feels like it. I averaged about high 8's low 9's with my old civic, but it was an auto.
#1165 of 1333 plenty of power at high RPMs by iomatic May 10, 2007 (12:55 pm)
Sure feels like it; and though I know the advantages of the Honda platform, my Si is plenty riced-out.   Replies to this message: eldaino (May 11, 2007 8:16 am)

Replying to: iomatic (May 10, 2007 12:55 pm) my Si is plenty riced-out.   really hope that was sarcastic!
