Honda Car Forum

Hi I recently notice my fuel economy droping from 31 MPG to 27, so I
decided to do a tune up. I replaced the tranny fluid (honda of
course), distrubutor cap, rotor, wires, spark plugs (NKG), fuel
filter, PCV valve, and new battery. Now I am getting about 24-25 MPG!
All the parts exept for the spark plugs are from the honda dealer.

Sorry, I also put in a Puralator Air Filter, and the tires are at 35
psi each, the alignment is also perfect and the tires are balanced.
