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
