lists of musts:
if you drive auto - you must be sure you dont go above 3500 RPM
if you drive manual - dont go above 2500, seems hard, but if you are going for MPG go for under 2000, thats what i do when i TRY to get great mpg
if your trips are under 10 miles, that doesnt help either
also make sure tire pressure is above 32 at MINIMUM
AIR FILTER! get it cleaned ASAP!
Tire ALIGNMENT!
switch to rims if you have steelies, they are lighter
accelerate down hill, slow down up hill, aka pedal (throttle) NEVER past 25%
CLOSE your windows and do the A/C hack to allow use of the front window defogger without the A/C kicking in (if you dont believe me that it is on, listen for the click of the compressor lol, do it at idle and play with it)
MOONROOF CLOSED!

and for manual drivers NEUTRAL!!!
trust me on that! if you think that your gonna get in an accident cause your in neutral... new flash, YOU HAVE ABS, it allows for steering under heavy braking and your stopping power when ABS is involved has nothing to do with your engine. Unfortunately it negates an engine holding you back as well... sorry to those who think they are stopping fast! if you want to stop fast, Go with Michelin's!
Still have yet to see an accident where the dude was in neutral! (may be diff for auto users in rain conditions as comming off of neutral automatically applies horsepower to the wheels and can cause problems) whereas a manual thats dependent on your use of the clutch

Try the tricks above from a tried and trued Hypermiller!!!

I always thought it was 2500-3000 was the perfect rpm range for manual??? What do you mean about the ac hack? I'm not really understanding that part??

Also I thought Honda recommends 27-30 psi for the tires??
