    I replaced my cap, rotor, and PCV valve with Honda parts
    about 3 weeks ago on my 98 civic 5spd. I noticed a big difference in
    acceleration. So I gave myself a week to enjoy the
    newfound peppiness, and then started driving normally
    again. My mileage is definitely worse than it was before.

    Before I got easily to 1/2 tank (23-25 liter fillup) and
    the odometer would read between 270 and 330kms depending
    on the driving mix. (usually about 50/50 city/hwy)

    Now I get to about 260kms tops on the same amount of fuel.

    It is a little cooler out now than in summer, but its
    still above freezing, so the mileage decrease experienced
    from the cold should not be a huge factor yet.

    Any bright ideas?
