Unless you have VTEC you can use 87 octane, but with VTEC you have to use 93.
With my 5th gen (i/h/e/CEL) I get around 300-350 miles to the tank. So I dunno lower to mid 20's.

I bought my car in the summer. For about 4 weeks I was getting 26mpg with mainly city driving. Then winter came and ate my child. I'm stuck at 21 or 22 till it gets warmer - which is coming soon.
stock 5th gen with properly infalted tires and a weekly dose of at least 3 VTEC hits.

highway I can get ~350 to a tank. Around here it's signifcantly less though, just cuz traffic sucks ass. I'd say I still get around high teens/low 20s mpg or so.

22 mpg, but I drive like a maniac...you could prolly get more...look up the stats on the car that'll tell you how many mpg's you should get if you drive like a lil bitch. Late

...maybe, but they may also have better things to do then go around correcting spelling. Go away.
