last tank i got 14 mpg but it's an accord... blew a hose and ran the engine way past red before i noticed it... been really bad ever since, bought a new o2 sensor yesterday and filled up so hopefully i'll see if i can get my mileage back, i've changed everything else short of the f'n engine and don't know what else i could try after this if it doesn't help... before overheating incident, was only getting about 23 so i dunno... 96 accord f22b2 auto w/183K miles...

For mtrivera, make sure tires are inflated correctly, possibly fuel filter, air filter, oil change, trans fluid, put some injector cleaner in your gas tank?

If you are running stock you should be getting around 30-34mpg, with 150k there is a possibility your O2 sensors are performing poorly which would cause your gas mileage to go down.

EK with 90K getting at least 350 per tank with HWY driving and not under 80. If I am under 80 I usually get at least 400. Car is stock plus AEM cold air.
