Egad. Or !#$(*@#$&(!!!

My HX now gives regular CELs (several times a day). P0302, sometimes P0301/P0304/P1300. P0302 = misfire in cyl. #2. The other related #s are the other cylinders, P1300 is a random miss or multi-cylinder.

A shop reports 65 psi compression in cyl #2 and 185 psi in the others. It burns at least 20-25 oz oil per 1000 miles, and sometimes a lot more.

Maybe I'll get a first generation Insight?? Wife says to ditch this car but I think maybe a head rebuild could solve the issues. I commute 55 miles each way so a gas sipper is justified.

Mostly I'm venting

but I'd like to read any thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks!
