I have a 90 Accord LX and I need to replace my passenger side headlight (regular beam, not high beam). I was wondering if any of you recommending buying a certain kind or not...should I go to AutoZone and buy one or order one from www.hondaautomotiveparts.com to get an original? Any thoughts? I also need to replace a brake light.

Also, I previously posted a message about trying to get better gas mileage...any ideas? THANKS!

POSTED AGAIN

Sorry to post again and bug people if no one has any ideas. I would really appreciate any advice on getting better gas mileage...maybe 19 miles/gallon is the best my old car can do. Glen, any ideas? I know you have given me some really good advice in the past.

Thanks all!


I have a 90 Accord LX with 249,000 miles. I have noticed that in the last year my gas mileage around town has gone from ~26 miles/gal to around 19 miles/gal. Let me list the things that I have done and then if anyone has any odeas that would be great.

-I just got new tires (so balanced and proper air pressure, etc.)
-Replaced fuel filter 1 year ago.
-I put in fuel injector cleaner maybe every 5-6 months.
-I have a broken strut spring (coil spring) on the front right that I am working on getting replaced (any ideas?...looking to get a used one (just spring not strut) off of car-part.com). I wouldn't think this would have much effect on the poor gas mileage but I could be wrong.

Does anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate some help here. Thanks!
