Sounds to me like she needs a basic tune-up. The wires and plugs should have been replaced light years ago. Aftermarket wires suck. Get honda cap,rotor, wires and NGK's. Then check the timing. Where did you get the belt replaced? Either way you needed all the things I mentioned many miles ago. That car should not need anything over 87 octane. Also make sure your egr valve is not stuck and that your fuel pump is clean. I'm assuming if you have not changed anything else then you have not changed your fuel filter either. Come on man, there is such a thing as scheduled maintanance. Oh, and check your tire pressure every couple of days. I drive over 150 miles a day in my GXE and I see a big difference in gas mileage related to tire pressures at different times of the year.
