ok now I need SERIOUS help here... I live in Tampa, FL which is all highway with lil stop and go.. I travel usually at 55MPH 99% of the time. I have a 92 Civic LX with short ram intake.
Now... I BARELY ever get 200 miles to my tank. If I ever wanna hit the 200 line... I'd have to drive till the last drops of gas. Now I have been told I am running too rich and dont know why this happens but every day I have to clean my bumper. It turns black cuz shit comes outa my engine..
I bought this car in december with 76,000 miles on it. Now it has almost 91,000 miles on it. All fluids were changed and so were the belts and I bought Platinum Bosch +4's. Had my engine treated with "Motor flush" when I first changed my oil. I change the oil every 3,000 miles or less. I usually have to add a quart every 2 or 3 damn weeks... Now I may be burning oil but there is NEVER any smoke so.. I may be leaking it..
I have an automatic (ewww) Sure I drive it hard at times but I dont think this is a reason for it to have my milage so low... I have 13" stock steelies since my 15" tegs were bent! What could be causing this black crap to keep getting on my bumper? I am begging for serious tips. I want this car to last... I'll do ANY treatments to make it better... This pic I took about 5 min ago and I last cleaned my bumper YESTERDAY. That thing gets SO bad after like 3 or 4 days! How can I prevent this and what causes this? and any tips on MY car to improve gas milage will help. THANKS!
