Rep Power: 0 You should get that checked out or something. But Arco gas sucks, I'll tell you that. I seriously feel the lack of power in my car after filling my tank with it. Seems like my tank is full of 80% water and 20% gasoline.

Rep Power: 0 I have an automatic, drive 90% highway and get close to 400 mile a tank. I was very surprised to discover this because of my love for mashing the petal into the floor.
My car is an 01 DX.
Take a look at tire pressure, inspect air intake and filter, check or replace your spark plugs?

I get 26ish in town driving it hard.. and thats with 2 12" alpine TypeRs.. and a heavy box, weighs about 90lbs

I just swapped in 1 12" (temp) until i get a 10" in a ported box, but im'a keep an eye on my mpg, see if it increases

No way your subs weigh too much, my one 15 weights around a little over 100 lbs. with the box. And that is without the amp, and I get around 32 mpg, the weight isn't a problem...Do you weight over 500 lbs? I think that would make a difference. Then again I don't think a 500 lbs. person could fit in a vic.

Rep Power: 0 Not to be rude, but... are you sure you're doing the math correctly? I always got around 21mpg in both my Camaro SS and my GS300. In my civic with a different final drive ratio and through I5 traffic I still average about 35mpg... and that's with the occasional trip to 6K.

Rep Power: 0 man ive got an 04 auto too..... 8k miles...... i get like 24 mpg..... usually anywhere from 20-24.
i try to keep it under 3k rpm, but then it seems like i wont go anywhere unless i bring it slightly above, or 2 around 4k.
i use chevron everytime.....87 gas. never tried putting the better gas in it tho, cant afford that.
i do like 50/50 city and freeway.
wahts wrong with my car!?????

Rep Power: 288 I got 20mpg a while ago. All city. That was a month after i got 40mpg on all freeway. Then recentlly i got 30mpg on all freeway. then i thought my fuel gauge was busted cuz i was driving mostly city and the guage didnt move much, that time I got 35mpg on 200 miles of city and 100 miles of freeway. So i have no idea on what to expect since my car is being inconsistent on me.
