          I don't believe in hyper-miling. I get about 31mpg in normal driving on the highway, and that's good enough for me.

                No matter how hard I drive my motorcycle. I have never gotten worse than 55mpg. Whether I do 65 or 80 on the Interstate. So hypermiling is no concern. Just get a bike.

                Its a cool concept. focusing on making a car more fuel efficient. But for hondas. it just sounds like another excuse to "shave" and "delete" stuff for that that "jdm" look.

                  Didn't say it doesn't exist. I just don't, and won't do it. More power to those who do.

                    Sure you did.  You said you 'Don't believe in Hypermiling'  That is like saying, 'I don't believe in bigfoot'.

                                    Selling my scion xb because I just bought this new winter beater from Chicago...

                                    not half bad for $3200? Rust free and good tires. Not a single problem yet...
