2000 civic poor gas mileage
I have a 2000 Civic Ex 70k that is getting approx. 24 MPG for about 60
highway/ 40 city driving. I recently bought this car and am extremely surprised by the economy. I drive it gently, tires are correct pressure, plugs I believe, were changed around 40k at the dealer, recent oil change and air filter. It needs an alignment, but I am not aware that this would affect the fuel economy this drastically. I was hoping to get at least 30 mpg. Anyone have this problem before? Thanks |
