Default 1986 Prelude

I have a 1986 prelude with 59,000 miles. garage kept by. I keep having to
fill the radiator reservoir. I've has the system pressure tested twice and
the oild is clean and I'm still getting aboout 30 mpg. I've tried several
applications of stop leak and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

=====================

Slip out your plugs and inspect. If it's a head gasket leak, it should
show on the plugs. Do a Google search for honda head gasket leak.
