Ive got a built engine, but my trip that was 100% highway back in May I was averaging 32mpg at 75-85mph going through mountains. I didn't have the a/c on though. I believe the best I got with the 3.2l was 31mpg with the a/c on going from Richmond to Charlotte. Flat roads the entire way and averaged about 75mph.

160,000 still pulling strong, even after beating the crap out of it this summer, also I recommend buying the 180 dollar unlimited alignments as long as you own the car from firestone, saved quite a bit of money because of that.
Still on stock clutch I am so used to changing those on hondas but this one still holds strong.

I tried to get 789.0 on the trip but missed the reset by 3 miles.
Still running good on original clutch. Getting 27mpg avg with my best at 32 and that was when it was supercharged.

I bought the car at 14,400 miles. Never paid a dime for brakes. The rotors are warped. I had my car serviced at 100,000 miles and the mechanic said I still had 30% left. Definitely ordering a new brake set up this week.
I had an Integra before this with over 70,000 miles on the brake pads before I sold it. Maybe it's the way I drive. I almost always try to take the freeway, I've figured all the routes that I take regularly with the fewest stop signs possible, I time all lights to keep stopping at red lights minimal, and I usually roll my stops in 2nd. If I do stop, I usually cruise into it. I know I don't hit my brakes as much as other drivers because the car in front will hit his brakes and I just let off my accelerator to achieve enough slow down before the freeway speed picks up again. BTW, my gas light almost always comes on at 330 miles (300 with more city driving and 350 with mostly freeway driving), so I get about 400 miles per tank. I know for some it's unbelievable, because I've read about some getting 300 per tank.
Believe me if you want or believe that it's impossible, but I have no reason to lie about something like this.
