and with gas going up day by day, it'd hurt to deal with tthat!i wonder how these people with hummer's and lambo's doing it with gas so high!because they get like 9-12 MPG...and thats driving passively,i'd hate to see what happens when you drive aggressively!probablyget like 3 MPG

That car --- 10 minutes warm-up on the auto-starter, <10 miles driven (NJ is all city driving, especially on the highways!), park

I live in NJ and commute to NYC via NJ Transit Busses.

As for your question, listen to my ex-gf in my 0-60 video that was shot in my neighborhood! Video
7.4 sec. with a bad 1-2 shift .... not bad.

I just got back from a 1000 mile round trip over a 3 day period.

I have a 2001 Accord EX5 sp with Vtec engine.

I checked my MPG after 3 fill ups and noticed that I started at 30 MPG and ended at 32 MPG.

This is the best I've ever seen on this Accord since owning it for the last year.

The only thing I did before I left on the trip was to check tire pressure and cleaned and regapped spark plugs to 0.035".


**you committed the mortal sin and spelled it "vtech" so I fixed it for you** - lx5spd
Instead of worrying about spelling VTEC correctly I'm going to change the wording on top of my engine to VTECH.

Huk'd on fonics werked for me!

If you can afford a H1 or H2 or a Lambo, you can afford the gas.

I used to hit 7k every day in the AV6, but I didn't have it floored all the time. That video was a timed 0-60 run. It's a bit harsh to assume that is how I always drive!
