Both are slow.

It's mainly to keep the engine's power curve smooth. (although you'd only notice it back to back). I don't believe there is a mileage issue between the two (i think the non-vtecs get, maybe, 1 more mpg then the vtecs).
that guy doesnt know how to drive, 145 hp 5 spd should get an accord to at least high 16's.
