I use 1 gallon of E85 with every 9 gallons of 93 gas to keep the alcohol levels down, while getting 94-95 octane. I'll see how it affects my mileage. The stuff only costs 2.10 a gallon and is 110 octane. wow.

Seriously though, that shows you have great self-control... I'll be happily averaging around 30, then on a nice day I can't hold it back anymore and let go... back to 25-26 it is
If Im not in vtec much during a given fillup period, then Ill be around 24 or so I believe, but if i vtec considerably, then im around ~20

Oh I drive VERY calmly. I've noticed that I'm actually 1 gear higher than a few people on here when cruising at normal speeds, and I dont really VTEC too much at all except for when I'm having a nice spirited drive.

) I've driven pretty calmly since...My current shift points on flat terrain are
2: 12
3: 20
4: 25
5: 30
6: 35
I'm sure that's disturbingly low for most people
But I balance it out with some 8500rpm launches when I'm feeling either really upbeat or really angry

Yeah I initially was getting around 22-24... but once I got it out of my system (and getting pulled over and being let go with a warning ) I've driven pretty calmly since...
