      So I went to check the air filter and the bolt seems to just break apart. It falls apart all oxidized? what should I do? and where is the fuel filter? I drive normal, no highway, but I don't speed around. hmm?

        My LX couldn't get better than 26 mpg highway, but my Mom's EX gets anywhere from 26-34 mpg around town.

        It's weird.

          I can easily average 30MPG. long trips to canada = (record) 38mpg. Normally its about 35-36mpg. I have a 93 LX w/ 70k miles on it ram air, 2.25" cat back, high flow cat.

If there is sediment in your tank, you're most likely to suck it up when the fuel is low. Also, the stock fuel pump is in-tank, and it's cooled by the fuel. For optimal pump life, going below 1/2 tank isn't great (my fuel pump has 230k on it, half of that done by me... and I ALWAYS take it deep into gas-light territory, so that bit of information contradicts my personal experience)

            LOL! pray it doesnt short out :P (i know its pretty common for in fuel pumps )



            JTM, fuel filters are changed at about 50K... thats when I did mine, but only because I'm anal about my car. Some cars probably go their whole lives w/o having the fuel filter changed. The big gas savers:
            tire pressure.
            air filter
            oil changed regularly
            not driving like a race car driver.

            Thats it really. All of that stuff combined can save you a bunch of gas. I suggest getting a book about our cars and reading up on where everything is before you go messing around. Have people help you.

              I've got a 91' LX coupe... 162K miles...I've only been able to put close to 15gallons in the tank....
              new:
              plugs, wires, cap/rotor, fuel/air filter.....
              21mpg...... I'd love to get 25mpg with this thing....
              the only thing not stock is that it has no cat.....
              would a CAI help the mpg?,... could it be running too rich right now?...

                  The air filter is brand new, but the tire pressure was at about 19 psi in each woops. Would that be the verdict? I have them now at 35.

                        at about a quarter of the way from full i'm almost at half tank with about 70 miles. Why am I getting bad gas mileage? the air filter is new etc. and i just dunno.

                          i have an 90 lx with a f22a1 bored .020 over, cam, modified short ram, dc headers, hollowed out cat, apexi WS2 exhaust and i can get over 30-35 mpg. usually (i haven't had the money to completely fill up lately) i can get upwards of 400 on a tank. that was before most of the new parts but i got about 220 on 6 gallons. keep in mind this is all on premium gas. too much money in my engine to go with cheap gas!

                              i have a 92 couple and the most i can fit is also about 15 gallons i have an h22 now and i get about 300-320 a tank but with my f22 i use to only get like 280 to the tank so it seems like ur mileage is pretty good for the age of the car and everything considered
