ya a tune up wouldn't hurt.
But 400km to a tank isn't bad. Engines use a lot of gas at 8000rpms. Thats just the way it is.

What are you whining about, 400 km per tank is good...I get about that 400 - 450 to 60L of gas mainly highway driving.

I put 35 L in this morning, and only had 277km since the last time I filled up.

STD is the absolute base model of the civic, even lower than a CX. Just a basic car. No power steering, 4 speed transmission, no a/c.
