please? its a 1989 5 speed honda civic, when i got it it ran awesome, lately it is horrible, when driving anywhere highway or town it acts as if it is running out of gas, lately it has been stalling on me, then usually when the car is restarted it goes for a bit then does the same thing again, it takes forever going through an intersection. if i put a little bit of gas in it sometimes helps, but not always. i put a new fuel filter on, and also tried fuel injector cleaners, gas line antifreeze, i am a girl so i really have no idea about motors, but im hoping that someone can help me to identify the problem for me to have someone look at. it also has been burning an extra amount of oil, seems i have to put oil in every other day. thankyou for your time
 
You shouldn't be putting oil in that often, it should be months not days. You probably just need to take it to a mechanic to get a full workup done, it could be many different things and half of them only mechanics can diagnose and fix.
