I have an 02 ex coupe automatic and I am lucky if I can get 300 Miles to a tank, there is definetly something wrong? I have 18"s, and I think they may have effected it.
(see past posts in this thread for car and driving style info)
I went on a little drive and gassed up at an interstate Mobil station this past weekend.
I drove all the miles in one day, and it was 95% on the highway, about 5% on back country roads around 45-50mph with few stops. Somehow I pulled 407.8 miles out of one tank of regular before the low fuel light came on. I stopped very soon to fill up after seeing the light and the car would only take 9.28gal. I think the gas I refilled with was foaming up, and there was open space that could not be filled in the tank. If the tank were actually full, I would have gotten 43.94mpg on that trip!
It is the BEST I've ever seen out of the civic as far as mileage goes. I know a lot is attributed to constant driving without the acceleration, the weather probably helped.. and who knows.. maybe fluke gasoline that was extra good? Previously 360mi was about the best I could hope for, now I have seen it go beyond +40 miles of what I thought was the best it could do.
I'm not saying yet that Mobil gas is greatest, but I am certainly going to try it again and see if my mileage stays high. I was shocked when it hit 400 and even more when it kept going past 400. It's a good thing, especially now.. last week it was $3.59 for regular here.. today it's 2.99 in a lot of stations. I guess that is somthing to be happy about? sad, eh?

i'm still trying to figure out why my mileage sucks ass. i like the car but i've been pretty dissappointed with the mpg. the ****ing sticker says 32 city. i get 26 city/highway. wtf. i'm about to try going to another gas station.
