Elliot is right about this. The 93 Accord lockup engages at 60-65 mph at
half throttle. This is design for fuel economy and you say you're getting 25
mpg while the EPA standard estimate for this type of car is somewhere
in the 30 mpg, highway. If it had been a distributor problem then it
wouldn't be related to a specific speed.
