I live in a small town of 3,000 which is 2 miles outside the city limit of Evansville, which has a metro pop of ~350,000. Most driving is there and back. There is not rediculous city gridlock stop and go traffic like the HUGE cities, but there is traffic nonetheless.

I don't know what to tell you, I'll try to take a photo of a gas stub next time.

Stupid Newbie question. What is a "VTec" as in "I VTec once or twice a drive"?

There just seems to be some incongruity between the terms "urban cycle" and "Evansville, Indiana".

[QUOTE=Sr2oD3,Mar 4 2008, 05:34 PM] on a somewhat side note, what would you guys say is the most efficient rpm in 6th(highway cruising) on stock car with stock dimension tires for an AP1?

The manual says around 62mph or around 3500rpm.

I get around 21mpg almost all city. Pretty heavy footed and rev-match downshift almost everytime I slow down.

100% city driving, 7 miles each way on the daily commute. It's winter time, so mileage suffers (takes forever to warm up).

22 mpg.

I guess thats true. It is all realative to what one thinks of as a "city".

I dont have a chart but after a year of routine home->work->school->home(mon-fri), I get 20mpg average which should be pretty accurate. A full tank last 220-230miles. That would be 10miles of city and 3miles hwy driving 30miles back to back max with a heavy feet and A LOT of VTEC!(10-20vtec daily or more)

Maybe not 100% city, but I think its still fairly good mpg due to frequent VTECing. But hey, who can blame me? lol
