Default Serious help needed! Weird problem!

ok heres the deal

I have an accord 94 ex and my aunt has an accord 94 lx.

I commute to school everyday for for 5 days a week and it take me about 7 mins to get to school and park.

My aunts commutes to her work 7 days a week and takes about 20 mins to get there and park.

Yet we both pump the same amount of gas every week.

I pump 20 bucks worth of gas every sunday because it gets extremely low.

My aunt pumps the same amount.

And i also know my gas gauge's arrow drops and rises whenever i slow down the car or speed it up.

I can;t even tell how much gas i ahve when it does that.

But other then that, what is up with my car and my aunt.

How come i need to pump gas just as much as her and she drives for much longer and farther.

I even drove her car to make sure, and sure as hell the gas gauge doens;t act like mines.

So anyone kno what is up? Is my car messed up or something?

Between an ex and lx it shouldn;t make that big if a difference.

Has the car had a tuneup lately. Air filter, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter??? You could be getting bad gas mileage from any of these things.

Also how hard do you drive the car ? I am willing to bet you are a little harder on the car than your aunt. Which could be the culprit for bad mileage.
