on a full tank of 87 i usually get around 300-310 city miles...highway i get way more around 400.....when i would run 91 i got a lil more maybe a few more miles per gallon....check ur ecu maybe ur throwin a code, my buddies civic dx is throwin map sensor and that thing guzzles gas so bad a full tank to like 90-100 miles.lol....

Answered your own question. Stop driving like you stole it and you should see an improvement in miles per gallon.

ummm as far as floorin it on a 1/4 tank of gas (87) i can easliy go 17 runs at my local race track...when i put in five bucks to go racing i floor the pedal to the floor and still manage to get atleast 55 miles to 5 dollars of 87.........i remember when i first got my car on a full tank of 87 i was tryin to race everyone drving like i stole the car and i still got 250-275 on the full tank..keep in mind i was lauchin hard at every dead stop and gunnin it through 2nd and 3rd..make sure ur injectors arent leaking? check the O-rings ...and check ur fuel rail.if ur leakin gas u most deff would lose gas milage....andi drive between 30-60 local and on the freeway i roll at 80 plus mph and still get good gas milage

I get 70 miles before I go off full, and mehbe 350 on a full tank, beating your car won't make you go through less than 10 miles to a gallon. Something is pretty wrong.

Agreed, but if the OP is driving excessively fast, he will see a drop in MPG. Definitely not that excessive though. Something is amiss.
