Default 1992-1995 civic hb CX miles per gallon

I have a '93 civic hb CX(bone stock) and ive been getting like 220 miles per tank.

B16 in 2000 coupe, get around 29 on the highway. A few weeks ago I went to fill up to see where my mileage was at, the tank went empty at 185 miles. Thats not right, so I pulled the back seat up and did a resistance check on the fuel sender, got 49.6 Ohms of resistance, near a half tank of gas in there, was also confirmed by pulling the fuel pump cover off and looking in the tank. Put almost a 100 miles on that tank with the gas light on. (and a 2 gallon spare in the back, just in case.)

So in a nutshell, my fuel gauge is WAY OFF after a half a tank.

You should be getting 35/43 mpg stock, according to http://www.fueleconomy.gov

My near bone stock GSR gets about 400ish miles to a tank (13.2 gallons) depending on how I drive and how often I take the interstate.

I'm kind of in the same boat...got a lightweight VX (gutted DD) w/ a z6 motor swap (vx tranny though). I get 220/240 miles per tank on the 9.9 gal tank. Thinking it's the custom N/A tune making it run rich all the time. When at idle it loops like a cam'd v8!

Another reason that your gas mileage could be going down is your oxygen sensor, make sure its clean and doesn't need replacing.

Do it tune up and change your fuel filter, also check the air pressure in your tires, you should notice better gas mileage after that.

My CX get's 25/28 mpg with GSR swap.
