Do all the regular obvious stuff:
- Spark Plugs
- Cap/Rotor
- Oil Change (synthetic if you got the coin)
- Air Filter
- Fuel Filter
- Wheel alignment
- Advance your timing <- I know that you can push it by a couple of degrees above manufacturers specs without problem on pump gas.

If all this, and you're still getting **** mileage. Do a compression test.

rolling in 94 civic dx and still get 450-500 km with a tank.

Question::: If you use slick fifty, or Duaralube, do you have to use it each time you change your oil????????

Or, is once sufficient ?

you shouldn't be using oil additived to begin with sex on wheels... like if you use KY jelly during sex... you'd wanna re-apply the lubricant every time... well with engine oil, you don't wanna do that to begin with... if you got a sick engine, time to tear it apart and look into it. Say no to additives!!!

City driving will take up more gas than HW driving. I was also wondering why my car was getting shitty milage compared to my friend's civic. Basicly, I live like 5km from work and rarely if ever go on the HW. My friend on the other hand lives in Maple and is on the HW doing cruising speeds every single day. Therefor he will always have the better milage.

When I go up to Ottawa I can get there on one tank with gas to spare to drive around the city.
