For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.

    Worst MPG ever

    I have been commuting like 40 miles / day..and yesterday i had the weakest mpg ever...it was 280 miles...not even racing just highway speeds speeds ...i think the rising prices in gas may have had a factor... i usually throw in 89 octane with a half tank of gas 15 bucks....i leave the odometer rolling until i fill in another 15 bucks in gas and that is burned off....and found 280 miles...just a wierd few days.. i usually average ..about 320...

    That's not bad. Depends how much you were paying, something around 25mpg. Were you getting close to 30mpg highway before?

            I can get about 320 miles on a tank getting 24ish mpg on high going 75-80. and 20 with a mix of city and highway. I normally get 250-280 on a tank with a mixture of driving.

                I constistantly achieve 370+ miles per tank and thats to empty, fuel light not on yet. This is about a good mix of city/highway/spirited driving (about an hours worth)

                      Doing 70 the whole time, I can get 450. The manual says I have a 17 gallon tank but it only fills upto 14 when I get to the red mark.

                        because 3 are in a reserve and you dont use that 3 until the light comes on...

                            My old topaz (read:ford) couldn't even get me 200 per tank most of the time. I would expect 180 per tank. Even keeping rpm's below 2000 I couldn't get better than 220. And this is in an 89 hp 2.3 I4. God damn that machine When I first drove a cb7 at a honda dealership I was about to hump the car It was so much faster and handled/braked so much better. The topaz tank is the same capacity as the accords IIRC.

                            on the stairs, she grabs my arm, says whats up,
                            where you been, is something wrong?
                            i try to just smile, and say everything’s fine.
