I got a "new" car!



yessum yessums! A 1993 Honda Civic VX hatchback! Why am I so excited you ask? Because this little gem is the most fuel efficient car Honda made during the 1990s. Along with the teeny Geo Metro XFi which has much less utility and comfort than the VX, it was the most fuel efficient car made during the entire decade.

Not even at all costs! Only eighteen hundred little ones. Yes, I am very happy. Drives very fine. And it's VTEC so its peppy. You can sip along at 1100RPMs in 5th gear. Two drops of gas per mile.

so is this not the ultra high mpg model?

goose fraba.

VTEC-E. VTEC with lean burn technology. The lean-burn is a mode the engine enters whenever its under low load or low RPMs where the mixture of gas to air becomes very lopsided so that it's mostly air. Also, at RPMs lower than 2700 only half the valves are in action, to save fuel. So, yes, it is the utra high mpg model. But it's also a VTEC so when you go above 2700RPM it behaves like a normal high revving VTEC Civic behaves. Nice and peppy!

i have no doubt you'll be sipping it at about 83mpg.

Fuel efficiency first. Safety second. Do I really need a passenger side mirror?
