I guess I can go ahead and post this question in this forum since it's really just about my car.
My Question is do you have any idea why my car is sucking down gas..I haven't calculated the gas milage but it can't be good. I filled it up 3 days ago and it's down to half a tank already and I don't drive it a whole lot. I drive it to school and back and maybe one extra trip a day. Could it have something to do with the engine?
Oh and the guy said the engine is a B18 C1A. Is that GSR or Type- R?

b18c1 is GSR motor. If you are getting bad gas mileage try a tune up. New cap/rotor/plugs/wires/fuel filter will do wonders.

UPDATE:
I took it to that friend of mine and he test drove it and stuff and the resonator snapped off from the rest of the exhaust..so I have to get that rewelded..we think that was a lot of the squeaking noise--those too pieces rubbing together--but he also things something is wrong with the clutch. He says it's slipping. He seems to thing with that engine and all the stuff that's on it I should be able to get up to 80 mph in 3rd gear..and I'm bearing getting to 80 in any gear..Something isn't working right. Any ideas? Opinions?

try map sensor or o2 sensor...or if you have a stock catalytic converter then it may be in the process of being clogged

If it is the clutch, the revs will go to redline and you wont move very much. If your car is getting stuck at a certain rpm and not gaining speed, then it is something other than the clutch.
