Honda makes some nice motorcycles...

It may be too obvious, but speed is a major factor in fuel economy. Our
Prius has a fuel economy display, and while it showed barely 40 mpg at 75
mph on a recent trip; when we came to 65 mph roads the economy was much
closer to 50 mpg.

You are driving 160 miles; at 75 mph that takes 2 hours and 8 minutes. At 65
mph it takes 20 minutes longer. If you get 30 mpg at 75 mph and 35 mpg at 65
mph you burn 5 1/3 gallons at 75 mph and 4 1/2 gallons at 65 mph. The
question is: at what speed is the time worth more than the money?

Beyond that, find out how much air you really can put in your tires.
Obviously you can't exceed the maximum inflation on the sidewall, but often
the inflation called for is the minimum for the rated load of the vehicle.
Higher pressures mean a harsher ride but less rolling resistance.

push it to work.... :)

Move closer.You'll save time,too.

Change jobs or move closer to work.

Simplest of all - learn how to drive economically. Thats how you save
money on ANY car, not just on one. You can drive like a tit and get
8mpg, or economically and get 40
some are naturally better at it than others. i saw a clip last year of
a special economy run, featuring M schumey and barrachello. the two of
them, and the presenter of the piece went out in this special
economy-run car, and tried to get the best mpg they could arond a
track. schumey got about 280mpg, barachello got around 220, and the
presenter (who is a woman, and a licensed race driver herself, and
lighter than either) got about 235. All 3 were in the same identical
car, on the same track.

Driving at prudent speeds is defintely a way to keep the mpg's higher.  When was the last tuneup?  The car was built in 1992....it's no spring chicken.  Regular oil changes are a must but how are the plugs, wires and cap an rotor(if it has one).  The fuel filter ('s)  PCV Valve are other choices.  All that could be replaces for less than $100.  The OX sensor can be a big one too if it's not controling your fuel appropriately.  A good air cleaner is an easy one too.  If you want to spend the money K&N makes awesome filters, they can cost up to 4 times as much as a typical air filter but they can easily grab you 2 or 3 mpg alone....i've seen more.  If it has a carb it could use a little adjustment as well.  Hope it works out...Mat

Sorry, added an apostrophe.  Just wanted to imply the possibility of multiple fuel filters.  Carbureted engines will have a primary near the tank and a secondary in the engine compartment

I have a 4 cyl 92 Accord and a 160 mile one way daily commute.  Woul
like to know of any easy and not very expensive ways to improve my feu
economy please
well aside from moving to a closer location =) some things you could try are the following:  keep your tire pressure at around 30 psi, keep the engine well tuned-up this includes such items as:  spark plugs, maybe a new set of spark plug wires if needed, air filter, distributer cap & roter, fuel filter and you might whant to look into a Tornado device.  ;

I have heard good reviews on and only on the "Tornado device"  you may whant to look into it.  also considering there is a 30 day money back gauranty with it  www.tornadoair.com/results.ph

What mileage are you getting now??
How much is freeway driving?  How much city?

As others have suggested, try a new O2 sensor.  They're fairly cheap and
easy to change.  Other than that and a standard tune up, it's up to the
driver.  Slow down a few MPH on the freeway, and minimize using the
brakes in city traffic.  Look far ahead, anticipating traffic and those
#$%@#$% red lights.
