when i first got my car (96 dx civic hatch) i got good mileage (compared to my previous vehicle). i was getting around 230-240 per tank. now the past couple of tanks have taken a shit. last time my fuel light came on, i tried to run it longer just to make sure it wasnt a gauge problem. that didnt work, because i ran out of gas. i got around 196 on that tank. and today, my fuel light just came on again, and ive only got 173 miles on the tank. id rather not run it down again. so if anyone has any helpful insight as to why my car is being gay, let me know.


thanks in advance.

when's the last time u gave it a good tune up? i'd start there with plug's and all the little cheap things.

i got the car early february. by the end of feb, i had replaced the cap/rotor, plugs, and wires.

give it a tune up and replace/clean your air filter. a dirty air filter will give you terrible milage

your o2 sensor could be going bad as well

you think i should try changing plugs again? or should i be straight with my 3 month old plugs?


and my filter isnt dirty. however, ill give it a good clean just to double check.


keep the advice coming, thanks.

check your o2 sensors, your plugs should be good, unless you didnt use NGK's and all OE Wires, Cap, & Rotor. Replace your fuel filter, see if that helps

deff check the O2 sensors!

does the CEL come on for any other probs? (ie: rich condition)?

Damn Leigh, how big is your tank.

I get like 240 and that's when I get on it a lot.
