My new DD - 89 CRX HF
#21
I changed the tranny fluid to genuine honda mtf yesterday then filled the tank again. I won't have a measured result until I get home from work to fill it again, but the preliminary result is good. Its about 58 mi exactly from my house to work and the drive here caused the gas needle to barely drop, way less than the past 2 days. I'm going to go ahead and estimate 50+mpg now. Possible 55+mpg but I'm not gonna get too excited yet.

Ya I did, the prev owner put in a single filament bulb that was contacting the right contact for the brakes to work and worked during inspection. However once I got it on the road is shifted enough to bridge the two contacts, taillight running light and brake light, causing the brake lights to come on with the other lights. I just got a new set of dual filament bulbs and swapped them in. Works like a champ now. Also replaced the brake light sensor at the pedal because it was comepletely broken off. No clue how they were working or where that sensor went....I don;t even care to think about it though, it works now!

50MPG, its official. Who would think tranny fluid could cost you 10mpg.... I'm gonna pick up a new o2 sensor tomorrow and look into the hot air intake as well. Then I need to get some cleaned and flowed stock injectors for as cheap as possible. I've already replaced the fuel filter and pcv. All these things together I estimate will get me right near 60mpg. FTMFW!!!!!!!
