1992 and 1993 ES fuel consumption instantaneous
I can easily put the extra pic for auto on.
this is for 5 speed.
I am going to update this once I have more info, I need
to konw the frontal area. It should be something around 20 ft^2
Everything else I pretty much have, so this is pretty accurate, but dont take this for gospel yet, until I say it's all done.

does anyone have the figure for the frontal area for the second generation ES ? [e.g. 1993 model]
i've tried all the major sources on the web, and no one lists it....

I've refined the parameters for the engine's torque curve
This is for 200 lb person added
Going with 20 square feet front area [shold be close enough]
no wind
75 degrees
Medium a/c setting/ A/C is on
Headlights On
Asphault Road
I recommend going into 5th only on level road and good-condition engine at 30 mph, and only for cruising, if you need to accelerate, certainly don't go into 5th .
But 32 Seems to be a safe on the engine, good on your wallet consistent speed. if you see any kind of hill or gradient [upward] go into 4th - better fuel economy depending on if its 5 % or higher, and plus it's just way better on your engine. An automatic trans will automatically detect this load and pop out of lockup, or downshift to 3rd.
Technically, you can do 25 mph in 5th, but the possibility for failure of engine is higher because the oil pump is spinning slower, though this engine design itself should be ok with it, theoretically. I only do 5th on level [or downsloping road] at 30 mph +
