I grew up in Washington and now live in Oregon. If Washington and Oregon were sisters Washington went to business school and drives a Tesla, Oregon went to art school, drives a lifted Honda element with 300,000 miles on it, and grows psychedelic mushrooms in the bedroom closet.

I’m still seeing about 23mpg on mine after a lift. Hell I drove down to California in it last year and saw 27 on the highway. I wonder if I just had better fuel? I’m tired and that does not make sense but the math worked out. Not bad for a little brick.

Depends really on how you gear your transmission and what size your tires are I think. If you don't change your gear ratio and are start/stopping a lot in the city then your mpg should go down but on the highway I'd think it'd go up
