Car Forum / Honda Cars / April 2006slightly black escape tube
2002 Honda Accord, 50kmiles. The escape tube is slightly black (it was black since 20kmiles when i bought the car). Apparently there is no noticable consuming of oil. What might be a reason? I saw other Honda's and some of them have completely clean tube, some other have a small deposit of carbon (even they looks like almost new). kara > 2002 Honda Accord, 50kmiles.

Maybe you're allowing your car to warm up in the driveway (don't do it). Maybe you live too close to where you work. Maybe you have a tune-up problem. What's your actual fuel mileage / gallon?

The fuel millage in the city is soemthing like 300miles/13 gallons=23 miles per gallon (and it is higher on highway). Is it normal for accord (4 cyl.) ? > Car usually is warmed up before driving. You're not supposed to do that. Read the Owner's Manual. Start the car, adjust the mirror, and drive. Just don't zip out onto the highway if the needle is still at dead COLD. 'Curly' escape tube???? do you mean exhaust pipe? what planet do you live on? > escape tube???? do you mean exhaust pipe? what planet do you live on?

She told the gas station attendent she needed new rubbers. Happy to meet you, Kara. If you have any worries about thecolor of tailpipe residue just install new sparking plugs. Those little babies should be replaced every 30k anyway. > escape tube???? do you mean exhaust pipe? what planet do you live on? i think the same planet that you live. but, you know, many other countries exist on this planet, not only one. |
