Just wondering how many MPG you guys get in city and highway conditions, especially 04 owners. I pretty pissed cause i just got 22 MPG in city like conditions in my automatic 04 civic lx, almost all shifts under 3k. Could the fact that it has 153,000 miles on it have anything to do with it. I just changed oil and filter about a 1000 miles ago and tires have the right PSI. Gonna check air filter tomorrow.

i got 30 mpg this last tank, hopefully this next one is better.
30mpg is pretty hard to get in the city, but I have done it many times, being a little granny shifter.
That was shifting about 2500 never reving it to take off at all in the manual.
But, 40-45mpg is easy on the highway just throw it in cruise.

i had a blown head gasket, and i was in a rush to put everything back together.. ever since i got it together i been throw a cel like crazy. finds out that i have a cyl #1 & 2 misfire, multiple misfire, and a "bad" crankshaft position sensor. ill probably fix it over this weekend.. and thanks for the compliment btw. props for chaos for makin it for me 
I don't know if it will help alot but you might want to change you spark plug.
yeah, i got on the freeway like once on that tank and probably redlined it like 4-6 times. i did the math after i filled up.
I don't think mine has ever gotten worse than 35mpg. If I want a car to rag on a little I take the DC5, and even then the worst I've had for a tank was 24mpg after an all-day Auto-X school.

^weird, how big are the tracks you go to?
i usually run on the 1/2 mile track, and i average around maybe like 20-22mpg on there in the EM2..

Got ~33 mpg city, then put in a K&N and got a nice boost; reset ecu and am getting about 5mpg more...
Did some highway driving this week and hit 291 on just over half a tank... posted pic in Off Topic (http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=145538) Because I have a manual, I short-shift and coast down hills a lot, which def. helps
If you haven't swapped filters yet, it's a cake 5 minute swap that pays for itself in a tank or two. Otherwise, make sure your OEM filter's clean!

can you give me details on your mods.. i'm a newbie..... and wish to see my civic give me high MPG... gas prices going roof-top.
Thanks,
I couldn't get 30 mpg if I tried I got 28 once, but most of the time it's more like 25 miles per gallon. Of course 17's aren't helping in my favor or the fact that the speed limit and my speed most of the time is above 75.
i still get 30-28mpg, and i drive mainly city. 04 ex here. redline it a few times too 
Devens airport, pretty good size but lots of low speed stuff.
Read your thread of the tune ups you made on civforums, i cleaned the egr valve, like you said, and man was that thing annoying to put back in lol either way good s**t, i try to keep mine as new as i can as well.
