I'm averaging around 26-27 mpg on normal driving and 24-26 when i-VTEC'ing it. Weird that the mpg doesn't change that much. According to a
snipet in Road & Track: "The most efficient way to reach cruising speed is wide-open-throttle (WOT) short-shifting. That is, not only do revs cost money, but so does prolonged motoring in lower gears, when throttling and pumping losses are their greatest.
WOT/short-shifting can save as much as 20 percent in city driving, worst to best case. In actual practice, rarely does traffic allow full WOT, but it's certainly fun — and efficient as well — to accelerate briskly through the lower gears to whatever the ambient speed happens to be."
Does that make sense to anybody else? Cause I'm having trouble understanding and implementing the concept into my daily driving habits.
