I have a 1995 EX with a jdm d16 swap in it.

It is completely stock except running crome and having Matt Shue tune it for gas mileage.

Now making 42 mpg

i've pulled 39mpg on a 4 door with D16. In the city, i always lightly accelerate and shift at 2000 RPM when its not going up a hill. On downhills i always coast. At lights that are obviously long (just turned red), i turn my engine off. I try to drive around 40MPH whenever I can. On highways, dont exceed 60MPH and try to keep a constant speed: dont brake and accelerate all the time.

Cuttin the car off and starting it back up probably uses more gas then just sitting at the light and idling...
