That said, actually surviving the experience of driving in such an octogenarian manner will probably cause an aneurysm.
I hate to say it but I doubt that very much. I am not very hard on my motor and have done anything possible to get the best possible mileage out of my car and there is no way I will ever get 40mpg out of the Si and
I doubt that anyone else will. Not going to happen.
