A DX engine is built for Fuel Economy much more so that a d16z6 engine is.

we have different cars but I do get that 47mpg at 65mph.
Get 52mpg at 55mph

its not short, its short relative to your old slow off the line altima. but not relative to any other honda. they dont even make any b series 5spd trannies that are that long.
