Hell, I have a 98 EX with a few mods and get about 16-17 MPG. 13-14 if I drive kinda crazy. I am getting this fixed this coming week though. LOL

Two most obvious things are lead foot and tire pressure. Next comes full tune up...

can't say that i have a lead foot, i mostly drive local too. I just had my tire pressure checked when i did the oil change.. looks like its doin worse now as far as MPG goes. i drove 130 miles and i only have 1/4 tank left. Doesn't look like I'll make 200 miles on a full tank this time. This is ridiculous. It only has 18000 miles on it although its a 2000 car. I don't think I need a tune up for that...no clue whats wrong.
