160 on a full tank....thats rediculous. something is very wrong with your car for sure. when was the last you did your tuning? are you sure your car is not leaking gas cuz even with the worst of maintenance....i would argue that a civic is capable of doing better than that on a full tank

and black and what plus or plugs?

you're all over the map. My best recommendation w/o a GOOD explaination, would be take it to a shop. Could be anything...

Looks like you got a crx with a swap, so for all I know you have the wrong ecu in there and the ign. timing is way off.

ok.. so what have you checked/done?

160km per tank is ****ing brutal. I'd imagine your car stalls alot?

I would think you need a major tuneup. Spark plugs white & black?

Which one?

When was the last time you checked the air filter, pcv, timing? Are you using 91 octane fuel?

Does your car sound like a diesel and smell like gas?

I don't even think your car would run if it was injecting 4 times the amount of gas it's supposed to. Either you're leaking it, or someone is stealing gas from you wherever you park

did the car pass emissions testing?

(1) someone stealing gas from your car
(2) how big is your tank? don't tell me your gas tank is like 15L in size and that is still consider a full tank haha
(3) your gas tank is leaking like mad!
(4) ur fuel lines might have leakage somewhere
(5) time to sell your car for a grand!

i can get 500+ in the winter with my 00' SiR and thats with the ocassional stop light to stop light beating time to time.

I would almost say it's nearly impossible to get that bad with an 00 SiR.

Something seriously wrong, just like what everyone else has said. You have a leak or something. It's going somewhere. Is your fuel guage working properly?

I find it hard to believe that you would not be able to smell a fuel leak. Gasoline odour is very prominent and for the amount this guy say he gets to the tank, he must have a major leak.

Perhaps he messed up and wrote 1 instead of 2 or something.
Let's wait for this person to respond.

Man did you buy the car like that or did it just start getting really bad fuel mileage? If you just purchased the car and it was certified and E-tested I would definelty go back to the buyer and mention it.
