Re: average GSR gas mileage??? (GSRBrent)
I get about 30 on the freeway, and that sucks compared to my homeboy who's got a b20vtec running 15psi and 550 cc injectors in a 95 civic coupe getting 37mpg.

Same here. Traffic kills mileage. 19-23 mpg on my daily commute(6.7 miles each way), averaged out over entire tanks.
Hit 32, as my highest mileage ever, and that was pure freeway driving with a two stops in total.
Almost enough to make me start commuting in my Spitfire. That crazy car is capable of 40 mpg in pure city driving, and has actually managed a 50+ mpg average for a few tanks of mixed driving. Except, no power anything (not even steering or brakes), no airbags, no AC, and no side impact protection at all (doors are empty shells with a window in them, the glass offers more protection than the door panel).

Re: (GSRBrent)
My car gets between 26 and 28 mpg intown depending on how much vtec I use and 34 mpg on the interstate.
You could do the basic tune up stuff like spark plugs, spark plug wires, cap and rotor... use some injector cleaner maybe? Idk if a new fuel filter would help but if it hasn't been replaced in a while you could try that.
good luck!

BRENT, what's up dude it's Brent. I get about 30k highway and 25city with my 98 GS-R.
Brents are rare, Brents with integras, even more rare
Brents with an integra GS-R, we might be the only two in the world.

Re: (98BabiGs-T)
if you have removed the OEM under-body panel that covers between the radiator support and engine, re-install it. i have proven a 4mpg loss without it.
also, if you have a half-style civic radiator, and no A/C condensor, install a block off plate to cover the opening.

1. As gsr98integra recommends, keep your car well-maintained. I suggest following the maintenance interval recommendations in the owner's manual and service manual at a minimum.
2. Your driving style effects your mileage. Hard acceleration, and frequent acceleration and braking, reduce your mileage. So if you're doing jackrabbit starts at stoplights, that hurts. So does driving in stop-and-go commuter traffic. Driving at extreme high speed hurts, too. And for the best mileage, keep your car in the highest gear you can without lugging the engine. Of course, some of these things can be fun
, but you asked how to improve your mileage.
3. Check your tire pressures periodically. As a general rule, setting them to the pressures recommended by your car's manufacturer (as found in your owner's manual and on the door jamb) is the best place, at least to start out; adjust as needed. (Do NOT set them to the maximum PSI indicated on the tire's sidewall, which is a capacity limitation, not a recommendation.)
