the thing that gets me is that I get like 23, and Forty04 gets 35, now thats a pretty big damn difference, what is causing the gap? Is my motor all beat the hell out of or what, is my compression bad or what? I honestly would like to know why I dont get at least 30mpg.

Yeah, Y8, i've only tested it twice in the city, and 32 was the average. You have to understand tho, that when i drive hard, i keep it under control. I dont just go out and floor it all the time. Plus my motor only has 53k miles on it. Not to mention it was a corporate lease vehicle to the local honda dealership since mile 1. Its been babied its whole life....till now
