my gas mileage seems to be lower during the winter as well. I don't know why though. Not sub 200 mp tank though..

well a small update. my front tires had low tire pressure (mid to low 20s) so i filled them back up. now i'm only 3 bars from a half take and ive only got 55 miles built up . i think i'm going tochange out both 02 sensors and hope that works.

Depending on when you noticed the change, could be that some of this is a result of ethanol added to fuel. I gather it can lower MPG ~ 10% or so???

I do an average of 250 a tank regular city driving. Hitting vtec maybe once or twice. I have yet to test out and see what it might be for straight Highway.
I do have an AP2 though so I don't know if that makes a difference.

yea i agree. Ever since i got the supercharger my gas milage has gone down drasticly. But it might be because i havent left VTEC in the past month.
