I just bought a 2000 honda civic (auto trans.) recently with 79000 miles. The problem i'm having is that whenever i shift into park i hear a strange sound like engine consuming gas, what could be the problem? Also, im getting a really bad gas consumption (like 6.5L/100KM- city driving). Any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

Your terminology has be miffed a bit, but try this for size. The extra consumption of fuel is best looked at with looking at a tune-up. Pull a plug and look at it. Look at the exhaust pipe. If they are black in color, which I assume they will be, you need to look in to a tune-up. check the air filter and make sure the timing is correct. I assume that no check engine lights are on so start with a tune.

Start with a tune-up. Inspect a spark plug and the exhaust pipe for black deposits, check the air filter, and verify ignition timing is correct, assuming no check engine light is on.
