hey guys, my 1990 honda accord dx automatic is sucking on my gas like monica lewinsky on bill clinton. yesterday i went through a quarter tank driving 19 miles through my town. i must've shut my car on and off about 4 times. this morning it was really cold out and i noticed that while my car was warming up there was heavy smoke coming out of my exuast(which is normal in really cold weather) but the hit is that there was also smoke coming from under the muffler. i think there might be a hole in it. if there is could this be the reason for the poor gas mileage????????

 

Cold weather, short trips, warming up the engine without driving, will all decrease fuel mileage. BTW, the gauge is way too inacurate to judge your mileage. And no, a hole in the muffler won't affect your mileage to any measurable degree.

 

^^^ agree'd...


have you done anything before that? maybe alittle tune up(spark plugs,wires)? change the fuel filter? or clean your injectors? all these stuff here helps your fuel mileages and its all very affordable.. if your doing it on your own that is..

 

how old is your o2 sensor.try changing out your map sensor also

 

turbo stuff forsale eh...
