yeah... i was kinda embarrassed .. talking with my mom about gas
mileage.. she said that their 99 cr-v gets about 20mpg in city... argh.

i'm betting something is probably worn out due to age.. my grandfather
(who i got the car from) didn't drive it much .. kept very good records
on it, but i think everything was done based on mileage.. is it possible
for spark plugs and wires to deteriorate over 7 1/2 years?
