Gas mileage problem?

[FauxTypeR]

Hey guys i have a 1998 acura integra GS auto. i replaced sparkplugs, changed oil, and cleaned the air filter. But the problem is i BARELY get to 200miles and my needle is on E. is this normal or why am i getting such low miles? my idle is at 1500rpm due to ignition timing being off i believe? i also have a cracked charcoal canister with the hose disconnected. advice? :cry:

70%city driving, but to be honest i drive my car bout 4-5 days and i gotta refill :/

 

[JustinMcGee1]

Are you hard on the gas pedal?

 

[JustinMcGee1]

Also how many gallons are you putting in when you fill?

I got below this last week because of all the Christmas traffic, And me getting ready for europe, hitting v-tec all the time. .. if you are hard on the pedal then it can be easy

i usually see it put in 9.5gal and yeah i guess i am a little hard on it. 60-80 then on freeway 80-100 tho mostly 80 i only go 100 on long stretches of open road

9.5 is nowhere near empty, And if you are driving like that it sounds about right I think. ..

But don't quote me I am a total noob

Quit driving like a pissed off teenager and you'll get better gas mileage..... It's an automatic, not a Type-R.

I got 29-31mpg regularly with 100% city driving in my auto.... Just drive the damn thing normally.

If you havn't done already, You can try some ngk iridiums, also get a new fuel filter, Get a new cap and rotor. Basically just give it a tune up, Might need it

 

[Evul9]

Also check the tire pressure and check incase a brake pad is rubbing, happened to me once, but the general tune up is your best bet I would say
