    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.

    air filter?
    were the valves ever checked/adjusted?
    hows the tire pressure?

    when i do a 30k service on my civic, i do an oil/filter change, air filter
    change, plugs, coolant change, brake fluid change, clutch fluid change.

    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.
