I have over 30k miles on mine and it's getting faster.
But I think mostly it's because it is cooling off outside.

Keep it topped off for maximum performance. It's so easy to add an ounce or two. I keep a partial bottle in the garage and add every few hundred miles to keep it at the full line. The performance can go down with low oil.

It's most likely your low oil, but the hot weather we've been having lately is probably also partly to contribute. Put some more oil in, just to be safe.

thanks for the input.. i went to honda and had the oil changed and my car doent seem quicker.. it seems a hell of a lot smoother but not really quicker.. maybe i have just become accustom to the speed... as far as the slown word.. i had to stare at it for about 10 minutes before deciding to post.. .. well tomorrow im checking my spark plugs.. if i still dont feel the speed i want, im selling it and getting a mustang GT.. sorry guys...


yeah i was just kidding about that
thanks
