What do you mean by "it has good comp" and "it has 160-165"?
Is this a manual or an automatic? EPA rated the 1990-93 Accord at 28mpg on
the highway with an automatic, and 31mpg with a manual. In fact, I had a
'93 Accord automatic that regularly averaged 32-34mpg in highway driving.
What are your driving habits like? Easy-going, average or aggressive?
How are the tire pressures? Are the tires the correct size?
Is it very cold in your area?
When was the last time the air filter was changed?
When was the last time it got a tune-up with new spark plugs (OEM)?
