Rep Power: 207 Bad gas milleage
Car is a 2003 Honda Civic Si with approximately 65000km on it. Full synthetic oil was put in 5000km ago, all air filters where also changed at this time.
I'm getting maybe 400km a tank, should be getting 200km more, could it be anything else than the fact I need an oil change?

it could be just winter gas and more idling during the winter.
during the summer i can get about 550 km per tank 70% hw/30% city using summer gas. in the winter when they switch to winter gas with more lighter formulation, i get about 450 to 480 km per tank with the same ration of hw/city driving. but i do idle more cause of startup and winter traffic. i noticed this last year and i'm getting the same effect this year too. i'm driving a 2002 civic lx autobox.
