Holy hell man! There is a major issue somewhere. Does the car smoke when running?

i only get about 35 highway and 30 city. I mostly drive in the city. so about 70% city and 30% highway. surprising for a civic hx but i think theres a problem with my cat converter

NO thats whats crazy!! i Put up a thread a while ago the car runs like a dream!! can you believe that! New tires, new fuel filter, new air filter, everything!! it just passed emissions here in colorado and they give you a stat sheet! everything is perfect! It doesnt run rich or anything... I dont drive like a lunatic! I just set the timing so im hoping that helps

I hope that was it. Cuz that is unacceceptable. If my civic dropped to 150, and no one could find a fix, trade in time.

Maybe that's it was able to pass smog. My Camry always needed the timing adjusted down for a power loss to make smog in CA. The moment I got it from the shop I'd take it to my regular mechanic and have him adjust it back. Glad it's looking like that was the case and an easy fix.

~23 city/~30 highway - supercharged D16y8

I could probably get better gas mileage, but I wouldn't be able to have any fun while driving.

Hey thats a really good point! Because the stat sheet was actually looking too good to be true! Lol. Ill update you guys after my next fill up when i can get a real true estimate! Im glad it was an easy fix too!
