Any other symptoms? idling? stalling?

bad fuel filter?

my car is almost the same as ur's in fuel consumption, you need to change spark plugs and lead, and fuel filter thats a start

my bb6 prelude vti-r gets 9.6L-9.8L/100km with ~33% hwy driving

so i guess you should be doing less...


change spark plugs and lead,

how do you know if your leads need to be changed?
does brand matter? i've heard of topgun/ngk leads...or just go oem?

[flipfire]

Use a multimeter to check the resistance of each lead or if theres any flow at all.

[shadou]

any leads will do, probably try the NGK as they may be cheaper at automotive parts stores.
Do a full service first and work your way back, in any way a full service won't hurt the longevity of the engine anyway and it maybe needing one bad.

just like flipfire siad
Use a multimeter to check the resistance of each lead or if theres any flow at all, NGk are okay but they only sell blue leads not black you might not like that in ur engine bay. OEM are good but expensive, you could even just get champion or Bosch they make black
