So, whats up everyone?
Nothin much happening over here.
Anyways, I drive a 1997 Civic DX coupe 5-speed D16Y7 no VTEC.
And i did research and found out that my car has a 12 gal. tank, and the max MPG is 36 HWY... so if i did math right, I should get somwhere near 400 miles per tank.
Now... i just got home, tank is almost empty, and my trip odometer says 201 miles.... that means my civic has been getting about as much MPG as a V8...
I ussually shift at 3k RPMs, but i do some times go all the way to 6k when i need to pass people and stuff.
But I am pretty sure you guys have more experience on Civics (cuz im only 17) so im going to ask yall. When should I shift, also, what would make my MPG go down? I got short ram intake, and A'Pexi cat-back.
Also, my car smells like burning oil/clutch some times... and i dont ride on my clutch... help?
thanks
