are you running on 18' chrome stunnas?..
autos usually get less then manuals and maybe it is your driving habits.

the most common problem would be that your timing is off

I think I have the same issue with my 89 hatch that's mostly stock except for the 14" del sol rims.

I am waiting to go through my first tank of gas to find out where the numbers actually are - but with the way it's going, it's not that far from what our Odyssey drinks up.
