gas MPGs jumped up! ok for the past few months i get 22-24mpg ('02 EX 4dr auto). and recently i filled up a full tank. the machine said i filled up 12.2 gallons. its weird cuz i usually end up getting 11.5 when gas light comes on. when i use to get 22-24mpg i would hit 100miles when im left with half a tank, and the last time i checked i hit 100miles on just a quarter of a tank! can some1 tell me wtf is going on??????????? i mean from the looks of it i gained MPGs DRAMATICALLY. i did not add any special additives in the tank. i just do the regular oil changes. theres only 10k miles on the car. some please help!! thanx for inputs if any!!

Rep Power: 0 Yeah I got like high 30's with my EX hubbies on my 01 civic. Then I got my new rims 17" with 215/45 kumho 712's, and never saw that mileage again but yeah the speedo is a lil off but less mileage so yeah that could be why.

Rep Power: 0 At one point in time I was getting 32-34 mpg but then my mom got out of the car after the test drive and the gas mileage has never been the same.
