55k seems a little early but possibly new spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter. Is the car running rough at all?
With a Civic and with mild hypermiling it seems like a hardware issue (car isn't functioning well). I would start with the basics I listed above and work your way into the scarier stuff but 22-24mpg in a civic when you're actually TRYING to get good mileage seems WAY too low for it to just be your driving habits.
