Saw the previous post for a car like this (albeit an Si), thought someone might like this one...maybe less rust? This isn't mine, just saw it on CL.

how does the Si get 40 mpg, but the base 1.5 gets 30?
does not compute!

I had an 89 Si that got better mileage over time as the engine loosened up. I would frequently break 40 mpg as it got close to 300k miles.

Fuel injection!

Back when they were new, both the DX and Si had the same EPA fuel mileage rating. But in real world driving, that fuel injection DOES make a difference.
