fo sho...also, is it an auto or manual? if its a manual...try maybe shifting earlier....if its an auto....well...i dont know...if it were me, i wouldnt have bought it...but thats just because i hate autos....tune up...and sea foam should help. my 98dx MT gets about 42 city depending on how i drive...and 45-47 on the highway...(with 1 12in. sub and 11lbs amp.) empty she can hit abot 50 mpg!!!!

lol... that doesnt even come close to my problem... I just bought an 89 civic hatch with a d16a JDM motor turbo'd and the guy selling it is saying he is only getting 12-15 to the gallon! what in the world would cause this?? he also says he believes the injectors are stock and that the air/fuel gauge reads lean most of the time... any suggestions would be great!

use seafoam, i just used it like a week ago and it makes your car run alot smoother, i was getting like 27/gallon before i used the seafoam, just filled up, hoping for a major increase in mpg.
