    EPA revisedFuel economy figures for my '89 CRX SI list them at 33 Hwy and 28 city. HOWEVER, even with my foot stomped through the floor boards on a daily and near constant basis, I average a combined (City & Hwy) in the upper 35 mpg's. This number is calculated using EXACT numbers for fuel and miles, no rounding up or down with any numbers. I have NEVER had a combined fuel figure below 34 mpg's, and have even broke the 40 mpg barrier at times. Granted, my leadfoot keeps me firmly in the upper 35 mpg range most of the time. I calculate mpg's with EVERY fill up. I do this for several reasons. 1st, I love to see these numbers, it makes me happy to own such a fuel efficient car. 2nd, if I see a marked drop off, I know there may be something amiss with the motor or drivetrain.It's a good way to verify that all is fine with the drivetrain.
    And finally, The 88 -91 2nd gen cars had more HP with even better 1/4 mi performance figures than the 1st gen cars. On top of that, having driven both gens, I can also state that handling, and driver feedback behind the wheel, is much improved as well. And no more fiberglass front fenders either ...
