Improved MPG
Improved MPG
Just shy of 3000 miles as of today. I have been getting about 24~27 mpg since purchase but lately I have noticed the engine has become a bit more responsive. I have just recently been revving past 3500 rpm.
Well, today I was driving on the highway averaging about 80~90 mph and the trip computer registered 34.5 mpg. First time I have seen it above 30 mpg.

It is quite typical of Honda engines to become more efficient and better performing after breakin. I think you'll find that the engine really begins to hit it's stride after about 10,000 miles.
I agree with Darth - I've got 12k on mine and it's so much more responsive now than when I first got it. My best friend got a 9-3 Vector a few months after me and I routinely beat him when we race up the 401 to Toronto.
Oh, and his Saab has been in the shop twice in 4 months.
I'm not a Euro car hater, I just play one on

and you should keep on seeing it open up even beyond 30,000 miles.Thread
