Default Re: Civic Coupe/Automatic Gas Mileage

1997 EX Coupe. Was getting 26.5 mpg mixed city/highway when I first
got it 2 months ago. Got an alignment done and switched to 89 octance
and start to get 28.5 mpg. Last tank, I got 29.8 mpg, probably because
I did a bit more highway than usual. I drive like a grandma and aim to
get 30 mpg.

I am thinking about switching back to 87 octane after a few more fill
up to see if the alignment was more of factor than the octane level.
