Right, last ditch cry for advice on the last forum I expect a solution on, no offense though
I have a Honda Civic 1.6LS from 1997. Fitted with Honda model D16Y3 engine.
Ever since last summer my mpg has been dropping. I've had the valve timings checked, sparks, distributor positioning, it's had a service, and passed its MOT within the last 6 months.
I am absolutely out of ideas, failing it being the O2 sensor in the exhaust, but surely if that were going wrong I wouldn't have passed emissions test?
Currently, I get around 90 miles for 20 litres (4.3 UK Gallons) so at the moment I'm getting 20mpg. From a 1.6 reputed to be able to do double that.
Any suggestions appreciated
