All highway? Do you hit vtec? Are you taking into consideration an 11.9 gallon tank?
My rex si gets like 27-28 no freeway, all city and plenty of uphill driving on an si trans. Freeway it gets a lot more, haven't been on a road trip in forever though.

Re: Help Tranny Problem

Yeah it was almost all highway, little city driving.. I hit vtec at just about every light and I have a CEL on as well (yes certain codes will still allow you to vtec), it runs about 4500 rpm down the highway. back when I did alot of city driving and no highway id get about 23-25

Re: Help Tranny Problem

hey guys just to clarify some things...

i should mention that 27 mpg it's really from DD highway but with 1 hour of rush hour traffic every morning and evening. On top of that i have 18s (225s- i know, don't ask me why, they just look cool) and drive like jykle(sp) and hyde at times. So factoring that in and I drive like an old fart most of other times then it should be closer to 30 for highway

Hey, can I use a 90-91 exedy clutch kit with my 89 Si or DX tranny?

18's on a crx?? ewww. Dude, I can hardly imagine 17's on a rex but 18s? Damn. If you ditch them your gas mileage will definiteley go up.

Re: Help Tranny Problem

maybe not, the larger tire might help him, but the bad gearing could hurt in the city.

It does not sound like how either Jekyl or Hyde drive like at all to me
