What octaine gas are you using. I notice a diffrence in some cars when they are on lower octaine gas. I drive my Spec V to work everyday through the Houston rush hour, and still never get less than 20mpg. But i only ever use 93 octaine. My integra (when its timing is advanced full) wont even go down the street on a tank of 87, it burns that stuff like its not even there.

On a side note, regaurding the gas cap. Those are (or at least mine is) a 1/2 turn lock cap. That is a self tightening cap, meaning that if it clicks more than once its in place.

Fianly at what rpm are you shifitng in your daily driving. I would be shocked if i was ever over 3500 rpm my entire trip to work. I generaly shift right before 3,000 rpm. I find the SE-R with its 2.5L engine sucks gas after the valves kick over (3,600 i think). In contrast my integra i shift after 6,000 the majority of the time and still get good gas milage.
