Hi,
Cold weather? Tire pressure too low?
Winter gas?

What do you call city driving? I find 25mpg hard to believe on a V6 for
city driving. The 18mpg you cite now sounds more normal.

Thanks for the responses. City driving is 30 mile stretches on an
interstate (to work) and shoppin etc. On straight highway driving I
used to get 32 mpg.
The tire pressure is 30lbs, I tried injector cleaner. I do not know
about winter gas.

How many miles are on your car?

What is the recommended interval for positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve
inspection? (This shoudl be in your car's owner's manual's maintenance
schedule.) It's 60k miles/4 years for my 1991 Civic.

A fouled PCV valve will cause mileage to drop significantly.
