mi/gal problem...

[kornflakes28546]

for the past two fill ups my car has gotten about 18.5 mi/gal. i know this is incredibly terrible for a 1.8L engine and its driving me crazy. theres no CEL or black exhaust like im running rich. i cant figure it out... what could be wrong with my car???!

basic maintenence.

got the oil changed 350mi ago and got the 75K maintance early at 71,000 (it has 74k on it). i treat that car like my child, especially the easy maintance. if theres other maintance that im not doing tell me.

try a different gas station

air filter, fuel filter, tire pressure, fuel injectors, etc.

18.5 miles to the gallon is really bad. with my old jrsc running really rich, i had about 19miles to the gallon. which was giving out black smoke, a cel for too rich, which eventually led to a cel for primary o2 sensor, and then a cel for catalyst effiency. the fuel is going somewhere. if its not running rich maybe fuel is leaking/escaping somewhere?

i filled up at BP about 75mi ago and im going to see if its any better that the Shitgo that i usually go to. if nothing helps im taking to the bastards at the honda dealership.

well just to warn you all... i found out it was the Shitgo. they either have terrible gas or they rip you off. i was gettin around 18.5mpg for over a month and then i switched gas stations and went back to getting around 23mpg. pretty significant. makes me angry when im paying for premium and still getting f*cked over!

oh man did I call that or what. haha glad to here you figured it out. now is not the time to be getting shitty gas mileage with today's prices.
