13" or 14" wheel on Civic - MPGs?
I am looking at
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymod...da_Civic.shtml but I can't tell why some Civic 1.5L 5spd get better MPG than other lsited Civic 1.5L 5spd for the same year. Could it be because of 13" on the DX & 14" wheel on the LX? The MPG ratings are 42/46, 40/45, 34/40. What trim line of 1994 Civic 5 speed gets the best MPG with a 1.5L 5 Speed? I assume this mileage will decline when the car is over 150,000 miles? |

There were a number of different engines used in the Civic that year: D15B8: 70 HP, 1.5l 8 valve engine used in the CX hatchback D15Z1: 92 HP, 1.5l 16 valve VTEC-e used in the VX hatchback D16Z6: 125 HP, 1.6l 16 valve VTEC engine used in the Si hatchback, the EX sedan and the EX Coupe D15B7: 102 HP 1.5l 16 valve engine used in all other varieties. The VX with the D15Z1 engine was the most fuel efficient one, rated at 47 / 56 city / highway. It had the fuel efficient engine, lighter alloy rims etc. The CX was rated 42 / 46 and the DX hatch manual was rated 34/40 -- ================================================== ===== A very modest collection of Honda tech info can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/ng_randolph |

Re: 13" or 14" wheel on Civic - MPGs?
I ended up buying a 1994 Civic LX 1.5L 16valve 4 door tonight - 176,000
miles for $150. needs head gasket and much body work, etc. How close can I expect to be to DX hatch manual was rated 34/40 Should I just have the head tanked and reinstall if it passes a leak test or can I improve on the mileage with new technology by replacing the head?
