2003 Honda Civic gas mileage?

I got a 2003 Honda Civic EX sedan with about 100,000 miles about a month ago, one of the reasons being is because they are supposed to get really good gas mileage. Mine doesn't seem to be getting overly good gas mileage though, something under 20 miles to a gallon. My maintenance indicator light came on and since then, my gas mileage seems to be getting worse. Of course I am going to take it in to have the routine maintenance done, but will that help put my gas mileage up where it's supposed to be? Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to get better gas mileage? I drive about 12 miles round trip to school each day and my car is always empty. My tires were slightly over inflated the last time I checked...and I usually just use the basic unleaded gas.

you probably just need your oil changed. and you said youre gettin ready to have the routine maintenance on it so youre good to go. =]















i guarantee after you get that maintenance done youll get better gas mileage. hondas usually get around 20 or 30 something miles to the gallon.

Depending on your model, around 20 mpg may be normal in town. Take a look at this webiste for info on mpg: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymod...da_Civic.shtml































It has a chart that shows mpg in town and highway. Next time you fill up your gas tank, buy a bottle of fuel injection cleaner. This may help, but not by a lot unfortunatley. Good luck.
