What is wrong with the wife's car??

Accord averages 37.4 on my drive to work (mainly constant 65mph for 40 miles one way). Around town I get around 31ish. Town mpg is harder to calculate due to mix driving conditions. Not bad for a larger SOHC 2.2L and bone stock. Gonna look into some of the driving techniques on this site and what else I could possible do too boost (needs tires soon, wheel bearings might not be a bad idea and drop in suspension cause the wheel gap is almost 4 inches!). Slow and steady with this car though, my son is due to start driving soon and this will be his 'learner' car.
My wife's car is a different story and I will post a different topic soon, either tonight or during my work break.
Just FYI people, I work at an automotive plant that manufactures Hybrid systems and their control boards - I'm in the reliability sector and get to break stuff, totally awesome.
