I get a steady 18 to 19mpg town or highway. Only drops when I pull the trailer. Then it's 11mpg.lol. Denial is not a river in Egypt.

Yeah, I haven't towed. I'm sure my average would drop to nothing if I did.

Funny but I always get worse gas mileage when using cruise.If i set the cruise control to 60 and stay in the right lane i can get around 21. But my boots are heavy

IMO FF is a great product. I use it on the punch welds and to line the drain areas in the doors and hatch. no rust. Im amazed at how the dust sticks to it and forms this thick black coat that stays oily and repels water basically forever after you apply it. for me in the spots I apply it I dont need to reapply ever unless it gets rubbed off. if I undercoated with it though it probably needs to be done annually I would think

Fluid Film, Woolwax, etc. application + a good dusty dirt road drive is a winning combination.

Fluid Film is Lanolin.
It's naturally water resistant, naturally a lubricant, naturally a bunch of things.
It also naturally eats rust for some reason. It's great for breaking up rusty tools. Just let it soak and wiggle.
I tried to teach that farm testing channel guy, but he just "i read the tech data sheet, blah blah"
Okay bro. You used the product incorrectly, represented it incorrectly.. then shit all over it. GG.
FF is *not* a penitrating oil.
Safe on almost all synthetic rubbers too. So you can wipe down your door seals with it to re-hydrate them and keep them nice.

Just don't spray fluid film on rubber seals and gaskets. It will cause the rubber to swell.

Yeah, it will make natural rubber swell.
There are a few synthetics that it will mess with.
But stuff like door and window seals are safe. I've kept a lot of original seals on my truck going for all these years with fluid film. Same thing on my prelude.
Just unstuck a chainfall I picked up with it too.
Fluid film, however, doesn't do anything for your mileage. haha

Right on with a Honda Prelude...assuming it's a 5-speed manual and not an automatic. Always liked the 3rd and 5th gens best.
I suppose it also can't be that blasphemy they sell with the Prelude name today.

Hold onto that Prelude forever. I play around with selling my 2000 Civic Si but I've owned her since new and I just don't know if I can do it.

I don't have the love for it anymore for starters, and I need the driveway space.
My truck, however, isn't going anywhere.
And its faster than the prelude. haha

That's too bad. Any vehicle without an infotainment screen is a keeper.

I'll be just fine with my 500,000 mile OBS PowerStroke. =)
And a part of me would love to keep the lude.
But I have 3 primary parking spots in my driveway and 4 vehicles.
And I could use the money. This year hasn't been good for anything. Everyone dying, extra money going out and less ability to work cause everyone is dying.
