    My girlfriend just got her car back from tha bodyshop and it seems to be eating gas like mad... She was in an accident in feb. and the car sat for a few months about 4. She bought tha car in feb. had it for two weeks and an oldlady made a left in front of her and thats the end of that... When she first had tha car though we didn't notice any gas milage problems, but now it seems to eat it pretty quick... Even with tha AC off. I'm gonna try a tuneup, but I just wasn't sure if that could be tha problem... Although I thought it might be a good place to start seeing as the car runs great and doesn't have any upgrades on the moter except a drop in airfilter... Oh yea its a 91da ls specialedition 1.8L non-v-tec... Any ideas would be greatly appricieated... THNX:cry:

    I definitely recommend doing the usual tune-up crap like your spark plugs, wires, distributor, and check your fuel delivery system for any errors. Good luck!
