Default asthings i can do to get better gas mileage

I have a '92 Accord EX and my gas mileage has gone down since I bought the car a few months ago. I need your suggestions.

Regular oil changes, check to make sure tires are properly inflated, and aligned correctly, try using fuel injector cleaner (BG44k), keep a clean air-filter. All that helps. and i'm sure the owners manual has something to say aswell.

Yeah, definitely make sure you tires are inflated correctly like mentioned above. You would be amazed at how a low tire can effect gas mileage.

as well as the tires.... sensors, and spark plugs, they suprisingly make a pretty big difference...

when i'm parked a foot too out in the street and blocks someone's driveway by a little, i put that sucka in neutral and push (also applies to double parking and someone in back needs to get out)

edit: gen you should know what i'm talking about... the streets of brooklyn

Get out and push.
