It is the auto, so it will be lower than my manual. But that's too low for a DX, it seems to me. Has it been checked out by a mechanic? Do you have the skills? Compression? Sparks? Brake drag? and etc... In normal driving in the city you should get probably 25mpg on an auto. But that is just the EPA (my guess of it too).

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
