I have a Honda as well. I drive a bone-stock 5speed base model as can be '89 CRX. The one thing I have that most other Honda's don't is that I get ~350-400 mpg average :D.

So do you cruise in neurtral? Well thats what do I do to get the same mileage as you.
Now a days I only rev my engine past 3k only in the morning to get to work.
Well I drive a POS 97 civic. You know what I don't even know the real difference between a CX and DX. The only difference I notice is the rear windshield wipers.
Death to Honda and Toyota for making boring cars!!

Good thing your getting an RX-8 so you can dump that POS!! How can you invest all that $$$ into an economy car?
BTW, as the old sying goes..."The lug nuts on my Mustang require more torque than your Honda makes!"
(Just a little good natured pot-stirring on a Friday afternoon.)

Black '87 RX-7 Turbo. It's become such a part of me that a surgical procedure will be required to remove it from me. I have an appointment with the doctor in about 4 weeks :D
--1981 Chevy Malibu 6cyl., on extended loan from grandmother (gas economy of a V8, power of a I4)
--1988 Mazda 323 LX, pretty good except for those damn rear wheel bearings, first car paid for by me.
--1995 Integra GS-R, I/H/E, Enkei wheels, I loved that damn thing
--2001 BMW 325i, bought in Germany, nice car, too expensive,
--1988 Toyota Tercel, carbeurated, had something like 234k mi on the odometer, biggest POS I've ever owned, it's what I drove while saving for the RX-8.
Current Car:
--1997 Honda CR-V, the family hauler, could use a little more power, but overall, a good car.

Could you tell us about your experiences with Mazda? There are people out there that think of it as a really bad car company.
I'm a Mazda kind of guy myself, having owned 2 RX-7's and driven and loved my mom's protege's (1990 and 2000) and friend's protege5 (2002).
haha my F and I met on an RSX message forum. We run a store selling RSX parts too. We used to really like RSX's, but after living the RSX lifestyle for two years, we're a little burnt out. :D
