Default My 1995 civic 1.6 non-v eating more gas then usual. HELP

whats up guys i am trying to figure out why my civic 1.6 non-v is eating more gas then usual. I know it doesnt need a tune up because it was done a few months ago. It has no muffler leaks.The car runs good and is bone stock with no mods at all. If anybody can give me ideas i would appreciate it. Thanks

Your post doesn't give any real info. Do you have before and after numbers? "More then usual" doesn't really say anything.

The reason why i said "more then usual" is because i use the car strictly for work. Its my beater just for work. Its 25 miles to work and 25 miles on the way back. Before when it seemed good i used to have alittle more then a quarter left of gas at the end of the wk on the gas meter and now i noticed that by the end of the wk its close to E.

By "tune up" what did you have done? How many miles on vehicle? any recent service work? What gas did you use when you last filled up? was it raining? these are a few questions that may help you if there answered.

Tune up- Spark plugs, wires, rotor, dizzy cap, oil change. I was using regular gas since day 1 then after this whole mess i tryed using plus gas to see if it burned off slower but it really made no difference. I thought about changing the fuel filter but i thought the fuel filter would only be bad if it had debris in it and it would be clogged. I know im definitely geting fuel through. What does rain have to do with this?
