a92h0ndacivic,

I think something is still wrong with your basic setup. My wifes 96 civic dx (hatch, 5sp) gets more then 30 every tank and she doesn't hypermile. When I drive I can get close to 40 mpg. Keep checking -- something isn't right somewhere. (Tires inflated correctly? Jack it up and spin the wheels to see if there is anything sticking, watch the temp guage maybe it is the thermostate, Any of the underbelly/wheel well panels hanging down and flapping in the breeze, running with defrost on all the time which in some cases runs the A/C, just a few ideas)
