My 2007 LX Sedan (Auto)...Gets Crappy *** Fuel Economy!

Mind you, regardless of the season, I still average about 400-450 at the most. (Or is that the average? And I'm ill informed?) I live in Downtown Toronto, so it's mostly stop and go traffic at times. Highway, every so often from time to time.

I never rev that high to engage VTEC.

My last tune-up was done at 95,xxxkm now at 105,xxxkm

I do my own oil changes every 3k-4k

I'd rate my driving habits a 7/10 (1 being a granny, 10 being a race car driver)

I'm also fairly easy on the brakes too. If I see a yellow or red up ahead, I'll ease off of the gas and just coast. Pressing on the brake ever so gently until I slow down.

Also, I do my notice my alignment is slightly off. Pulls to the right a bit.

Tire pressure is up to snuff.

Trunk is usually empty. All I carry in the trunk is windshield washer fluid and some car cleaning products. Nothing heavy enough to upset the fuel mileage.

Any tips or suggestions guys? Thank you in advance.

It's auto and city driven. And you drive some what aggressively... All that is a recipe for poor fuel economy. lol

Ease off the gas, don't accelerate so hard and it should improve.

And get your alignment fixed.

Honda oxygen sensors suck. I'd take a good look at them. I've seen them throw codes at 40k, lol.

Poor alignment will reduce fuel efficiency, so will dragging brakes (if you haven't serviced your brakes recently).

I think that pretty much covers it but that is also about what you should expect from that car when you do a lot of your driving in downtown areas in stop and go. Do take all of the above advice though because it wouldn't hurt to try and improve what you have.
