Owner of a 1997 Honda Accord LX

Hey! My name is Matt, and I drive a 1997 Honda Accord LX with a 5 speed manual. Im really interested in getting the most gas mileage as possible out of my car, while not suffering a whole lot of power loss. Anyways, nice forums!

Thanks for the welcome! Right now, Im getting around 26 mpg in the city, and about 30 mpg highway. Do you (19Accord97) or anybody else think its possible to squeeze maybe 30 mpg city out of the motor? I guess if I really wanted superb fuel economy, I should have gotten a Civic, but still Accords are nice :D.

I am getting roughly 24 on the interstate. My mpg is trashed right now and I have no idea why. I am going to start hitting the fuel system cleaners hard, then put some Lucas in them.
I would go to your local Auto parts store and get some Lucas fuel system cleaner/treatment. It is roughly $4.99 for a one time use bottle.
