Re: list your MPG and driving style
'95 Accord EX 4 cylinder, 4 door
Highway at 70-80 mph: 30-31 mpg
City (including pizza delivery): 27.5-30 mpg
Have you done a tune-up lately Redly1? That might be the cause of your poor mileage? I'd be upset if I got that kind of mileage on the highway.

Re: list your MPG and driving style
Sorry Redly, I thought that your car's mileage ratings were the same as mine. Your mileage does seem reasonable.

I would guess your O2 sensor has never been touched. Also might be worthwhile to get your plugs wire changed. Do it yourself will save you alot and it's really not too tough (the O2 sensor may require some skill, I guess)

Re: list your MPG and driving style
went through my first tank of gas since the O2 sensor change. 28.6MPG up from 25.7MPG
not bad, considering I still have some issues to deal with on the car
