Today's trial was higher than my previous trials, and it was a good deal hotter too. Refer to my results posted in the tire pressure thread in the experiments section for details. What do you guys think about this? Can temperature play that much into MPG? I got 3.2 mpg more today and it was 16 degrees hotter. I don't believe there to be that much error in my measurements. It makes sense that denser air would take more force to push through. Thoughts? __________________ Scouring the country for an excellent condition Civic VX
