Default 24 (in city) mpg normal for a 1996 honda civic dx auto?

hi,

is this normal?

approx 150,000 miles.

also what is the gas tank capacity of this car? i think it is a d16y7 if that matters.

i have same car at 190k miles and i get about the same, highway or city

I have a huge crack in my exhaust ( everyone with our car does, cata on header causes the water in the cata to crack the header, at least thats what my mechanic told me) thus I am about to replace my exhaust with a high flow system and i REALLY hope that will improve my gas mileage, I will let you know on here once it is in next week.

ps. im manual, and 11.9 USgal tank. Not sure if auto is different

id imagine automatics would have worse mpg. the standard tranny weighs ALOT LESS than a beast automatic. bastids are heavy
