You probably need a tune and a tuneup. What's your mpg?

I got 25 mpg on my second tank (I had the car for 1 month now)
Then I changed the spark plugs and cap and got 31 mpg
Now I'm running with an injector cleaner, we'll see what it does in the long run.
Next step is the air filter...

EDIT: So after driving with the fuel injector cleaner, I got 33 mpg.
EDIT2: Then I got 37 mpg.

About 19-20 all city with short (5 mile) trips. I calculated 28.6 the day I went from Raleigh, N.C to Greensboro, N.C. and back, all highway, twice in one day.

So...

20 City
29 Highway

Better mileage=ECU tune, done. Almost all Honda's mainly the performance oriented models are set to run rich straight from the factory to keep the engine safe.

I drive fairly well and never rev over 4k except on hwy in 5th gear and I still get about 350-400km a tank. It's crap... but oh well.
