  • Getting extremely bad gas mileage!!!

    I am currently gettin 15-16mpg city and thats with no speeding or excessive acceleration. My cat is rattling, can that be the problem?!
    \"Well, we don\'t care how bad-*** some dude\'s N/A Honda S2000 motor is; if you go up against 900+ pushrod ponies and 750 pounds of earth-shaking torque with a wrong-wheel-drive econobox, you\'re gonna get a fast and furious old-school ***-whipping.\"

    THat just sounds like your cat heat shield is rattling, but there is so many variables that go into gas mileage.
    Dirty Air filter, partial clogged cat/ fuel filter, fouled plugs, wires that have to much resistance, coils, and so on.
    If its been a good few years since your last tuneup, you could try that, but otherwise goodluck.
