I am trying to find out which year and exactly the gas mileage of the CRX that
got the great 60? mpg mileage in the middle 80s.  Also a place to get mileage
info of other cars would be good too.

Didn't you once duct-tape two Hyundai Ponies together?

That would be the HF version, which I believe was available in the
88-91 body style as well.  A different charging system, final drive
ratio in the transaxle, and possibly camshaft, along with EFI strategy
changes were the differences between the HF and standard 1.5 liter
Civics of that era.  To say it was a dog is a royal understatement.
It was probably more like 50 mpg, and you would have to lug around in
a high gear to achieve that.   0-60 times were listed as "eventually".

Actually, I'll reply to the group. This isn't your personal one stop
info source.

I remember the prevalent comment of the time was that "HF" stood for
"horsepower-free."  Good mileage but I would say 50 mpg would be a
stretch.

Ha!  That sounds about right RE: 'HF'.  I worked at a Honda dealer
during the HF era (a prouder time there likely will never be) and must
say that they were good for 50 mpg.  Some of the older techs reported
getting that kind of mpg also during their mandated trips for new
model training.  That was before my time.  New model training became a
room of guys and a VCR by the time I signed on.

I had a 1987 HF with carb that got 52 mpg on a trip to Detroit from
Muskegon.

How big a sail did he use?

Postulate a group whose intent is to destroy the United States from within
via anarchy and bankruptcy. The actions of the United States Congress are
completely consistent with the actions one would predict from such a group.
