I currently have a 1994 Honda Accord LX, With an h22a complete swap.

I got a great steal on the car, recently bought. I got a accord with the complete swap, great exterior, and interior needs a little TLC, and a full new front suspension. But that's not the point.

Yesterday I dropped $20 of gas in the car at around 10 PM. The price of the gas (IN NYC) was $2.69. THE LOWEST I SEEN EVER SINCE 9/11/01. and 2day I checked out the fuel tank and it dropped to the Empty. I havent rev'd the engine enough for the vtec to kick in, that would be around 5 1/2 to 6.
I havent driven the car like crazy or for a long period of time. the $20 gave me ALMOST half a tank. and I havent been driving around all that much to have it dropp to nothing.

I dont know if the engine is giving me terrible gas because the h22a is like that. OR if its giving me gas milages lke that cuz of the lack of a tune up on the car. I havent tuned it up seeing that it's only been my second day with the car, and the lack of $$$.

Could any1 let me know what is to be the EPA estimated gas milages on a h22a?

Exactly how many miles did you go on that half tank? Either way, that does sound too low. Check for a dirty/clogged air filter. It could also be a dirty fuel filter. You could also try running some fuel system cleaner.

do you get black smoke or sut from your exaust pipes?
check and make sure all your vacuum hoses are hooked up correctly, i had a bad gas milage prob w/ my b16... only getting 11 mi/gal, yeah, all it was, was the hose to the fuel pressure regulator was disconnected.. after that, good bye black smoke hello good gas milage
