StickyHydro,
If you have excess oil on the outside of the plugs, where the boot of the plug wire attaches, I'd suggest changing the rubber grommets that go under the valve cover. This is where the oil is leaking.
You have to take the valve cover off to change them...might as well adjust the valves when you're under there.

Heh, I should just go outside and look in the owner's manual, but it's too bloody cold out there...
In any case, I've averaged 44.93 mpg in my Civic since I've owned it. I usually fill up the tank when it gets down around half, heh, especially in winter.

I drive the hell out of my si and the most I've gotten is like 230 out of a full tank. My dx on the other hand gave me 300 on average. Lately I've been filling up at the half way mark and I've been gettin about 150 for a half tank but not much hard driving roads are glossy and my steelies need tires.
