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.

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?

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. ;)

I don't think it's Jells road.. I was actually trying to figure out which road it was as well.
