Default 1992 Accord - Gas Mileage

Is it a good idea to add fuel injector cleaner to improve gas mileage? My car is not having a good mileage lately, it's less than 20 miles per galloon the last time I checked. Any advise what should I do to improve my gas mileage on my 1992 Accord with 66,000 mileage? It's been already been tune-up and have new spark plugs and ignition wires. Thanks!

Valve adjustment.

Sidenote: Your 92 has 66,000? Dayum!

Check your O2 Sensor. Saying you're getting less than 20 mpg sounds like its running oddly rich.

Check your air filter too, I changed mine to a K&N once and made sure to clean out any dirt with a shop rag... well next time I took the filter out to clean it I noticed the shop rag was still in the box....OOPS... I'm guessing that wasn't helping much.

Absolutely yes use an in-tank fuel injector cleaner on occasion!
I am hearing amazing things about BG 44K. I've been using Red Line SI-1 fuel additive at every oil change but I want to try 44K as soon as I can find some.
