Poor mpg

[talontsiawd]

I get around 19-20 MPG. I have changed my cap, rotor, air filter, and plugs. My driving is like 95% streets though. I also seafoamed my car. Honestly, my car never got good mileage outside of 100% freeway, I gain an extra 100-150 miles. If anyone has an answer, I would love to know. My personal feeling is that our cars are too heavy for the little bit of power we get in our 4 bangers (I don't know if some are v6). I know my heavy wheels contribute but I never got what I should on the stockers.

I checked my gas mileage today when I filled up. 24.7 mpg for my V6. 75% was freeway driving. I recently replaced both o2 sensors. I know bigger front wheels and tires make a difference in hurting economy. I also know that wanting to hear the Vtec hurts economy too.
