Hi all!

I drive a '96 Civic DX (non-vtec) manual-5. Before finding this site, I'd been getting 30-ish mpg around town. We'll see what I can do about that now!

My commute is about 10 miles, half rural at 55mph and half city. All the way, slight hills, but nothing much.

Here's hoping for much learning and knowledge acquisition.

Hi, I grew up in Tyler - is that home?

Longview, actually. Thanks for the quick welcome!

I miss the pine trees of East Texas.

Maybe I should mention that Longview is 20 miles from Big Sandy, Texas - home of Lovie Smith (the admins are from Chicago :D )

Hey, I'm exiled to Chicago. I'm not FROM chicago ;) I plan on some day moving back to the north east ;) As far as Lovie Smith goes, I hope he does well, if not he might not be getting another bears paycheck.

Oh, and welcome to CleanMPG!
