2006 Civic EX only getting 15 mpg
Based on previous threads I'm not sure I will get an answer other than change driving habits but I will give it a shot. I'm consistently getting 15 mpg and there must be a mechanical or computer related issue. You don't drop from a normal 26 mpg average city driving to 15 because of poor driving habits, which I do not have anyway. The car runs fine but the fuel economy is poor, any ideas? I check every tank and normally get about 150 miles on 10 gallons. I've had 6 Hondas and I have never seen anything like this. 1.8L engine.

O2 sensor going bad? Air filters?

Check engine light is not on and the car runs good that's why I'm clueless. Same drive and weather. I thought maybe fuel leaking but I never smell gas.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Did it drop right around the first week of November?

I like the O2 sensor possible cause, also consider plugs and plug wires if your car has over 100K miles. Bad plug wires can really make a car run bad. Do a code read.
