My 95 Integra LS was getting around 300-325 miles per tank. Within the last 3 months it's dropped to 200-250 miles/tank. I know my clutch is going out but I wouldn't think that it would burn that much gas. I have 105,000 miles on the car and the fuel filter hasn't been changed. I'm going to replace it soon. Anybody else have any ideas? Thanks.

Check your tire pressure. It can contribute a little bit to less gas mileage.

I check that every time I get gas. I also get my tires balanced and rotated every 3000 miles.

sounds like something serious, any new noises or is the brake hanging up?

How do your plugs look? I'd change the fuel filter, and maybe get a new cap/rotor and plug wires, and new plugs.

I would do the same too

How long do plug wires last? I put 9.3mm wires on about 1 1/2 years ago. Also, how do I move the rotor so I can get to the screw? I tried to replace it a little while ago but the screw started stripping. How can I keep it from stripping.
I've been running NGK Platinum plugs. Should I be using something different or are these good enough?

I think I remember Patrick saying 10-15K on plugs, and I'm a bit overdue.

17K, original plugs = not so good starts.

not to soud stupid but how do you change the fuel filter? i never did this before.

as always unhook the battery, then just unbolt the thing & replace w/ new. it's right on your fire wall passenger side, can't miss it
