it's because you probably floor it from light to light that's simply what it is....relax until gas is 60

Get a full tune up. New plugs, wires, cap/rotor, fuel filter, change all the fluids. Run a can of Seafoam through it and try to drive to take it easier. Most 6th gen Civics should easily get 500k's a tank.

Have you calculated your gas mileage, because maybe the reason you are getting 370 per tank is because your gauge is innaccurate, when mine is on empty there is actually a lot left in the tank, because it only cost like 25 to fill it back up to full. Check out this thread if you think that might be the problem:
