thats about what i get, theres lots of things it could be. fuel lines, pump, injectors(i think), plugs, driving habits

and you could buy a civic.

I have a 2000 and i don't get great. I can only go about 250 miles per tank. Its a V-6 and i get around 21-maybe 23 driving to school, going 60, cruise on, with no stops, for about 25 miles.

Yeah I started out at 13 mpg then I started driving like a normal person and now I get 17. I couldn't understand why my MPG were so low then i got off the throttle a little and now things are good.
