Car maintenance

[REGULAR JOE]

I've got a little Honda Civic that I drive to work. I don't know if it's driving the interstate (slightly above the speed limit) or something else, but I've gone from getting 37 miles per gallon to about 30 in the past month and a half. What's the deal? I'm sure someone on here is at least a little knowledgeable about the inter-workings of vehicles. [:D]

Joe,
We've had two Accords in the family and one 600 Sedan (the old two cylinder 600cc car they first came out with) But no Civics. I'm not certain on your problem--are there other symptoms other than gas mileage?

Huge word to the wise--on any Honda replace the timing belt religiously every 75,000 miles. If that sucker breaks, you are looking at a major engine rebuild with a cost of around a grand.
