Good luck at UWGB. I graduated from there in 2000.26.5mpg never more, never less

thanks bud, maybe i'll see ya around
i shift at 3200 around town, 5500 when i need moderate acceleration. the fa5 really is a slug under vtec, though.
Honda recommends shifting under 3k for fuel efficiency. if you are in the right gear the fa5 accelerates just fine...We should get a meet together for our 8th gen's in wisco...I go to UWM, and travel around wisco quite often. My folks are from green bay also. Good thing you like the packers otherwise you would probably need to hit VTEC the whole way out of town...
i never get less than 30 mpg. 35+ for hwy

What method do you guys use to estimate your mpg? I filled it up Sunday night, and I'm sure I drove over 300 miles before it hit 3 bars left. But that doesn't seem very accurate to calculate from. Maybe fill it up, drive a measured distance, then fill it again and check the pump to see how much you put back in?
OK so why did I ask.. ah I'll try to remember to do this and then I'll let ya'll know

Fill up your tank. Hit the trip button. Then the next time you fill up (you don't have to be completely on "empty" either), check your receipt for the amount of gallons you put in. Then divide the miles driven by the amount of gallons you put in your tank.
That's mostly driving 45 miles to work and back every day on the highway @ 65mph, with a little city driving.
