i just checked the honda website, says the civic lx automatic is suppose to get city29 /highway38. I think i get 15 on the city and 20 on highway.....even w/ my shortram. What can be the problem? Im thinking its the gas I use (87) but I'm not really use.....help would be nice, 00civic lx/2dr.

 

1. How the hell are you getting 15-20 MPG? I have a ******* turbo and I get 28-30.
2. Octane doesnt affect fuel mileage
3. There wasnt a 2000 civic LX 2dr

 

i have no idea, this **** is ffkn pissing me off so much man. i put like 20bux everyother day for a lil over halfa tank. its an 02 lx...typing error

 

thats pretty damn crazy
How does your o2 sensor look? Its not going to be the octane - its made to run on 87
I get 30-35mpg

 

Get a tune up and dont mash at every light.

 

yea you have an air fuel problem. or you are at wide open throttle from full to empty

 

Even with my **** idle I used to have the lowest I ever got was 26.
Even with the AC on all the time now the lowest I get is 28 even when I smash it all the time. That sucks for you :-\

 

I beat the hell outa my baby. And I fill her up with 15 bucks every 2-3 weeks. About 60 miles a day.

 

lol i dont get great gas mileage... but damn. Tune up, and stop driving like an ***.

thats crazy..

i want better mileage too best i can get is 27/28

 

Well, it used to be 15. Now more like 20 with prices. =\

 

i have to call BS if you do 60miles a day(mon-fri) and only have to fill it up every 2-3weeks

thats about 600miles a tank

 

Well, it seems that way. Maybe I over estimated. I'm sleepy. But its great on gas.

 

If you don't do normal tuneups give some of these a try; change your fuel, air and oil filters, spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor, transmission fluid and filter(if you have an automatic), then check your engine's rpm's and set your timing. You should be doing better by then.

I filled up today and got 27mpg...granted this has been with a couple trips to vtec and also running the a/c with mostly stop and go city driving.

Get a tune up and quit mashing the gas.
