you could get up to 350 miles on a tank depends on mods, engine and engine parts condition and how you drive

Ya it all depends on how you drive and what gas you use. If you don't care too much about performance you should use just plain old regular. It will burn longer than plus or premium and give you some more miles. Also if you drive like a grandma you will get great gas mileage too. Heh, but I could never drive like a grandma, because whats the use of having vtec if you never use it.

10w-30 is a lil thicker, the thinner the oil, the better the gas milage or so they say

Do a basic tuneup on it and I'll bet your mileage will improve.

New plugs and wires

New air filter

New PCV valve

New fuel filter

run some fuel system cleaner through it

Consider yourself lucky. I only get 220-260 per tank on a bone stock D15B7 with babying it and mainly open road/highway driving. O2 sensor and cat are probably shot.

I've gotten 240-260 on my 94 EX.

I'm also getting about 250 miles per 8.5 gallons = ~ 27mpg, on my 98 Hatch.
