Why is my gas mileage so bad?

I have a 2000 Honda CRV and I'm almost just giving up on this car, I love the SUV but I no joke barley get 200 miles to the tank, with this mileage I could be driving a truck or a Toyota 4Runner (which is what I really want), I changed and did the following: air filter, fuel filter, inflated tires, O2 sensor, rebuilt transmission and catalytic converter. The spark plugs and timing belt are fairly new and in good condition. I have invested enough money in this car to last another life time, I even took this car into firestone to check what was the deal and they said the car was in great condition, I understand this car is 17 years old but its only a 4 cylinder and in good condition

Loss of power in Low RPM?

Hey guys, I ride a 2011 CBR 250R，Recently I have been having a problem with losing power during first and second gears around the low-mid RPM's. It happens when I accelerate at a quicker speed it feels like the power cuts (which engine braking occurs) and then it accelerates again after 1 or 2 seconds. It usually occurs when I have 1 or 2 bars of fuel left so i believe it might be a problem with the fuel or petrol. I have been filling my tank with the normal petrol required at well known gas stations in my area. I have recently had this problem but after servicing the motorcycle (a few weeks ago), it was a problem with the air filter being very clogged and dirty, after servicing it was fine, and then this started happening recently. anyone have any idea what the problem is? I did email honda and they said my chains and sprockets may be the cause to it and they need to be replaced, I'm looking to replace them but I'm afraid if after replacing them, the same p...

Fuel filter leaking after replacement?

I have a 1996 Honda Accord, the fuel filter was dirty so my boyfriend decided to change it. Now sometimes the gas sprays or leaks in the new filter also leaking from the washers as well. We used a flare wrench and tried tightening it for hours. Put the old fuel filter on and it still does it, and old washers and still does it. What could possibly be causing this? Really don't have the money to go to a mechanic Read more: https://hondanews.net/accord/fuel-filter-leaking-after-replacement.html
