Know of any civic owners in the area you can compare to?

You sound like you know your way around these cars. Not sure what else to ask. Everyone has had good suggestions so far.

One thing I didn't see listed is operating temperature. Be sure the thermostat is the correct one and is not stuck open or removed.

This is tricky haha. What kind of routes do you drive? Mostly stop and go? Mostly highway? Is it consistent from day to day or does it change all te time?

Running at 5000ft will have the same effect as dropping nearly 2 full numbers off your static compression ratio.
If I knew I were going to stay above 4000ft I wouldn't hesitate to go above 11:1.

That's the good advice again. But the difficulty in finding the right range using a butt-o-meter is the reason for getting a vacuum gauge (to judge where optimal BSFC is), a tachometer, and--as an...

EDIT: Whoops, I didn't see that there was a second page and that rooster had already covered this.

Well I was thinking that part of your bad gas mileage could be due to the other problem you described in your other thread about the leaking injectors. If you just fixed that problem then I would...

Accelerating briskly is better than crawling up to speed, take it to 1/2-2/3 throttle without increasing your RPM range. Coasting is the easiest spot to get good gains.

Have you always driven...

I wish I had double-checked cbaber's citation of the EPA estimate, as Cd did above, but cbaber knows what he's doing and I felt lazy. Since it should be performing better than 29 and by quite a lot,...

cbaber, did you notice that your estimate was for an automatic ?

The manual version gets 33 / 36 / 41 : Fuel Economy of the 1993 Honda Civic (http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/noframes/9773.shtml)

You can check compression and the timing belt, and it might help you pick up a few more MPGs. But I think cbaber is right. The car seems to be functioning close to normal, except for low compression,...

The D15B7 doesn't have lean burn, that was reserved for the D15Z1 in the 92-95 generation. Besides, lean burn engages while driving, it doesn't do it while idling (at least in my HX).
