should i be getting better mpg and what i can do to help my mpg
ive been getting about 23mpg in my 95 civic ex sedan, i run it generally til the gauge reads empty, although its a 12 gallon tank i believe i never seem to put much more then 9 gallons in it, its also an auto, come spring im manual swapping it accumulating parts at the minute, i was read and ive decided new injectors, fuel filter and maybe a fuel pump, i was wondering what else i can do to help my mpg a bit, is it worth it to get premium, and what stations should i go to? near me theres delta, hess and shell mostly

Remember:
1) It's a vehicle from 1995 (It's 2013 now, that's 18 years)
2) What you're getting is just about right, even with a full tune-up.
3) The best thing to do is to swap in a VX (92-95 Dseries) or a lesser HX (96-00) engine. These make:
Going premium would be retarded in a way.
Common sense, you want to get BETTER gas mileage, to save money. So if you get premium instead of regular, you will be spending more money in the long run.
Civic's are 'civil/civilian' vehicles, they were designed (stock) for 87 octane, not for high octane and high performance.
