Honda Civic VX stuck at low mpg

Have a 1994 VX, rebuilt the engine and enjoyed about 50MPG on a highway trip doing about 70-80mph and a 65mpg going about 65mpg. In town it only gets about 38mpg, a bit of a lead foot.. I took 2 100 mile trips and was disappointed to find out that I was getting 38mpg! and I was doing the 65mph all the way on both. It seems to be stuck at that mpg no matter how I drive now. Any thoughts?

Re: Honda Civic VX stuck at low mpg

Maybe you have a brake dragging. Winter mpg will be lower than summer mpg due to temps and the different blend of gasoline.

Re: Honda Civic VX stuck at low mpg

did you do the usual check list...dizzy, wires, thermostat, fuel filter, o2 etc?

Maybe you calculated your mpg incorrectly? Or are you using a scan guage?
