did you do a honda insight motor swap?! thats crazy! i would never sell my car if it gave me 456 miles/tank. i did floor it a few times so maybe i could have squeezed more miles out i did use cruise control about 40% of the way and kept the AC on

The humidity was under 30% here Sunday and the temp was 70 degrees in the morning and the car did feel like it gained 15hp. It completely broke loose on my new tires hitting second gear which it hasn't done since last winter. Of course we are back to normal and the 'lil 'ol chirp, but it was fun while it lasted...I get around 27 mpg on the highway at 85mph with the ac on, and that is with flooring it for several passes, so what's the big deal about 456??? Seems easy to achieve. Now in the city, I'm struggling to get 20mpg...

As far as being as fast as a Ferrari however, you need to put your crack pipe down and step away, Pooky...:wow:

Sometimes my car feels super fast, pulls real hard, and spins second. Other times, like right now, it feels sluggish and like it isn't getting enough air in its lungs. I blame it all on the gas that I get out of the pump. All 93 oct isn't the same.

It must be the cool weather lately. Just today I was leaving McDonald's and I lightly stepped on the gas and I peeled out. Should've seen the guy's face on the sidewalk next to me.
