25.5 Miles/Gallon (City) Good/Bad?
I got 25.5 miles/gallon city driving? 96 RS 1.6L DOHC, roughly 64000 miles, standard?<P>Is this reasonable? I think this number is low? for km i got 290km on 32L.<P>Thanks,

i got a GS with 145000kms and it burns at least 2 liters of oil every oil change and i still get 28-29 mpg in the city, so your mileage sucks.

i just recently did that myself, put in new plugs and wires, and cleaned my injectors, so that sounds like a good plan to me

check your oxygen sensor, especially if your check engine light goes on occasionally. used to happen to my integra. ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

could the O2 sensor be going even if your engine light does not come on??
