Hi Ray, welcome to the forums.
Theyre not the most fuel friendly vehicles around town, but pretty good on the open road.
A tune will tidy up the fuel economy a bit.

Welcome,
You'll love your car, and then you'll get the performance bug...
Are you going to do any power mods??

lol Rays wheels cant afford now, still need to sell the civic.
I live in the suburbs + go to city a bit, GG. You get some pretty good figures there Seanmouse, close to the civic
In terms of power mods not sure yet, possibly simple I/H/E in future?
@ cruisin - Might look int oa tune at next service, thanks.

Its not a normal tune with a service. Looking at $700 for a tune at Horse Power factory. Best to get it done after a few few mods if you intend to do do any.
