Hey all!
Got myself a set of Continental Sport Contacts 225/45/16 and took them for a road test . For the record, the tyres are superb! Massive improvement on the various type of 215/35/18 i was running. Car is transformed
So much so, that i managed a new record low of 9.60 MPG
Recorded using the Road Trip Lite App. Quite a useful wee tool
Can anyone beat that?

I'm more intrigued as to hoe you fitted 16" tyres to an 18" rim

44.5
I managed 300 miles on 3/4 the other week going to Gatwick and back. Usually I'm lucky to see 300 to a full tank.

I think my highest is 30
But the only time i get to see open roads, it's VTEC time...

When the traffic cleared up on my old commute during the school holidays I'd end up getting like 22mpg from a tank
when the traffic returned I'd go back up to about 30 mpg
The Prelude is going into work to get it's MOT done tomorrow. I've got so much VTEC to get out my system, I reckon I might top 9.60 mpg
