How many KMs you guys getting outta full tank?

[Mooks79]

i ruffly get 550km out the 40L in the civic....i think tht arverge

[redinteg]

only bout 370km per tank in EG2 CRX (cam's, shaved head, I,H,E + tuned) but mainly town driving and a little bit of weekend flanging.

[Limbo]

i aint got vtec dude thats the problem

it only makes fuel consumption worse :p

[Frankie]

it only makes fuel consumption worse :p

yeh but when u havent got a vtec that is doin less km than a vtec with a full tank there has to be a problem

[outatime]

Frankie,

change your fuel filter, air filter, pcv valve, inflate your tires to 36psi, and get iridium spark plugs. that will fix it up.

[Frankie]

my air filter is new k and n,, i was suppose to put the fuel filter in on the weekend but i couldnt get the bottom pipe unscrewed of the filter to hard so i just left it....i will try the other things aswell. see how we go fillin up today

[Limbo]

yeh but when u havent got a vtec that is doin less km than a vtec with a full tank there has to be a problem
Not really cos if the vtec car is not flooring it, it may be why he is getting better milage. Also he may be counrty driving and your city driving, all depends.

Also if o2 sensor only kicks in whilst cruising. If your starting and stopping all the time its not gonna help.

[clayton4115]

i definately dont do any country driving, i am in the city (suburbia) drive to work today, 21 km journey, 7/100.

[Frankie]

i do city drivin i dont always floor it. 02 sensor are expensive if you have to change it

[D16EK1]

My 96 EK1 (D16Y4) does about 450 with a bit of high rpm's on a damaged thermostat and damaged fuel guage sensor, changing it today and gonna see if it runs better.

[Frankie]

yeh let us know how it goes got the same engine

[clayton4115]

i even put the car off if i know im going to be stuck in a long red traffic light.

[tayl51601]

I got a EK4 vti-r and all i get is just 250, and you thought yours was bad lol.

I just got a turbo put in so im going to be stopping to fill up a ot more often, im getting it tuned next week so hopefully that may fix my problem because i have never seen any fuel on the ground and my cars parked in the garage the whole week normally.

[Limbo]

crap i got 350km per tank on a boosted ek4, with heavy leadfooting and i thought that was bad!

[croatiaboi]

i got my ek4 tuned recently with a vafc n prior to the tune i was getting around 520-530 on average with the fuel light on, now i get close to 620 with bp n with vortex i get bout 580 with the new tune, so im very happy with that.

[isami]

damn thats heaps croatiaboi
what what engine mods u got?

[Frankie]

I got a EK4 vti-r and all i get is just 250, and you thought yours was bad lol.

man atleast u got a bit more poweer than me i got none

[Limbo]

hey frankie, my reading is that he only got 250km before he turboed it!

[croatiaboi]

just the basic I/H/E and tune

[Frankie]

yeh i understood what he said before he turbo it

[clayton4115]

mines all stock and i can get about 600+ to the tank in the city driving, drove into work today, 6/100 :-)

[Frankie]

yeh so is mine and all i get is quater that

[Webby_roller]

I filled up yesterday and got 415 km from 25 litres

[port3s]

about 500KMS +

prelude 92 si 2.3L

[clayton4115]

port3s, i see your Prelude has a 60L tank capacity, if i had 60L on my civic i would be getting 800+km to the tank,

posters please be aware we all have different size tanks when you are posting your kms to the tank.

[jugbugz]

fill up your tank half full each time and you'll save that little bit more with reduced weight... lol

[henrygiang]

fill up your tank half full each time and you'll save that little bit more with reduced weight... lol

at the rate frankie is going though he wont make it out the garage with half a tank :p

im getting about 450 to a tank before the light comes on......500+ if i really granny drive

[clayton4115]

[quote=henrygiang;1860599]at the rate frankie is going though he wont make it out the garage with half a tank :p

lol poor frankie

[OPL33Z]

500+ for me

[gambate]

about 450 per tank (~40L filled most occasion) or 400 with 2 hours of skid pan (with around 5 ppl in the queue every time) on a dc2r with spec B cam

the secret: running about 16:1 a/f at part throttle rpm and load
(rough value converted from fuel setting on pfc, might be more or less in the real world)..

[krogoth]

16:1?

slightly lean?

im sure its safe mostly....but i think its better to run a little rich especially on full load and high rpm, though im not sure

[uniorj]

Best I have got out of one tank in my EK4 was 372 but keeping in mind as soon as the petrol light flashes once I fill up.

[pengpeng]

450km a full tank in a EG VEI 1.5 SOHC VTEC. always shift @ redline for fist and second gear.

[Frankie]

how many people actually do city driving

[clayton4115]

i do 100% city driving, home to work and back in the suburbs but i do have about 10kms on the freeway which sometimes is moving slowy due to peak hr conditions.

[MikeyG]

well my car is back to stock with 16 light weight wheels and im gettin 450kms which was better then 290kms with 17 vaults and airfilter... -.- btw 450kms=fanging nonvtec to work and to home :D

[Rambo2]

how much should an ek1 be doin?

[markoJEK1]

EK1 with B18C + bolt ons, currently untuned, averaging 400KM, with granny driving @ 3k rpm shifts and occasional vtec, getting tuned shortly and have been told the 500KM mark wont be hard to reach.

[m0fo]

my ek1 gets me 500km but with fking real granny style driving shifting at 2.5rpm

[Frankie]

do u leave ur car in idle or soemthing lol

[pizza_boy]

Get round 450 city driving on 60L fuel tank. best was 13.5 L/100 on V-Power. 1st gen CR-V auto, b20b3...
anyone else on CR-V?:D

[Dezimon]

omg...how did u manage to shift at 2.5k rpms?? The drivers behind always get irritated...Lolz..


my ek1 gets me 500km but with fking real granny style driving shifting at 2.5rpm

[clayton4115]

being in the left lane helps.

[Raztaz]

omg...how did u manage to shift at 2.5k rpms?? The drivers behind always get irritated...Lolz..

the auto EK1 shifts at 2.5-3K range

[RandyRhydah]

town driving i get around 450 just driving to and from work but when im out on a friday night giving falcodoor drivers the shits i get about 350 driving sunshine coast to penrith last month on the highway i was getting over 600 d16 eg hatch

[m0fo]

ahhah tell me abt it mate .. yea .. they really do get irritated .. just yesterday i got my car serviced : ) .. now the cars petrol comsumption is way better .. i shift at 3 now .. and maybe more but i only get 450km .. its way better than be4

[clayton4115]

filled up on wednesday at 128.5c/L, got 661 Kms to the 45L tank.

[omgzilla]

I get around 430 (using Premium 98 OCTANE) in my EK4.

[butch_le]

500km in my del sol...
but thats with 200 km going to sydney and back...

doing a proper reading now without no long trips, hopefully get 400+

[Raztaz]

currently 243km with 1/2 tank of fuel left

[diffuzn]

ok guys on 98 ultimate, my ek4 did 340kms... i don't understand how its being so thirsty?? (NON VTEC DRIVING)

[clayton4115]

on my 29th tank and currently will get 674kms to the tank (45l) the kms will come down depending how much traffic i will have to go through on this tank. But if i get anything above 600kms i am a happy chappy!

[butch_le]

ok guys on 98 ultimate, my ek4 did 340kms... i don't understand how its being so thirsty?? (NON VTEC DRIVING)

im trying ultimate now...
my previous post was using shell...
after this test im gonna try shell again with no big trip...

because i just bought my car bout 3 weeks ago, my first fuel up was with ultimate, but for some reason it didnt pour to the top and clicked with about 2-3 litres left. but i managed 380km b4 light came on...

[m0fo]

omg .. something is definetly wrong with my ek1 .. i know my last post i said i got 450 .. but that is incorrect i thought since i was getting 250 on half tank i thought it would last till 450 .. well it didnt 2 day i was low .. and i only had lik 420km on it .. wtf is wrong and this is shifting at 2.5 and sometimes 1st gear pull .. isnt my car pretty shitty ? i dont even get 450km with full tank :( i think something is wrong with my fuel filter .. any suggestions wats wrong with my car ?

[Frankie]

man i got the same with my EK1 aswell

[clayton4115]

whats the tank capacity on the EKs?

[twing]

EK is 45 lt.


omg .. something is definetly wrong with my ek1 .. i know my last post i said i got 450 .. but that is incorrect i thought since i was getting 250 on half tank i thought it would last till 450 ..

Although the indicator is saying half tank, it doesn't mean it's half tank in there. The meter drop slowly on the upper half, and goes faster on the lower half.

[dahon]

420km on an ek sounds just a little less than normal to me... there are many factors with deviations from avg... fatter tyres.. heavy car.. etc etc
i dont think theres any major problems with that measurement... just put in some bp ultimate or injector cleaner to clean the engine and shell be fine im sure...
i get around 460km on 35L... but if i go 25L of shell unleaded & 10L of BP ultimate i pull off around 500-510... thats with some spirited driving thrown in... hehehe

[LiKPiC]

99 EK1 sedan. manual
15" em1 wheels

Bout 540km, then at the pump it take a good 39-40L.
That's city and highway (well freeway and nightime driving with no traffic)

wow.. im fanging my car.. to work and to home.. and im gettin 450 with fuel light coming on.. sumthing wrong wif ur car den

[henrygiang]

if i go 25L of shell unleaded & 10L of BP ultimate i pull off around 500-510... thats with some spirited driving thrown in... hehehe

you mix the two?? maybe i should try haha

[clayton4115]

Just drove to work this morn, heavy rain and bad bad traffic 24 km journey took me 54 mins, yesterday same journey took 26 minutes.

Fuel economy today 8.2/100. Yesterday 5.90/100

This will definitely reduce my tank average.

[D16EK1]

its really hard shifting the car at 2.5k rpm. i think ill go check the tyre press because im on 215/40/R17's doing about 430'ish 96 EK1

[krogoth]

aha

this sounds like my car now

though i dont do city driving much, but i do thrash alot

ive also got a 7th gen btw

[Alexx]

last tank in my b16a was 9.3 L/100km. fuxored oxygen sensor doesnt help. I have just ordered a new one so it will be interesting to see how much of a difference it makes.

[clayton4115]

yeah well the above trip consumption is more the exception than the rule, i should have just taken the bus! lol

[Frankie]

ay alexx how much your oxy sensor cost ya

[dahon]

you mix the two?? maybe i should try haha

yeah ynot? dont think petrol mixing is bad... lolz it actually does make a diff to me i reckon, i get better mileage, powers smoother and cars easier to run, isnt too bad on the pocket and does clean ur cars engine..

[diffuzn]

hey just filled my car up just then, did 330kms... the needle was like on the red line. and no fuel light though :\

however when i filled up i could only get 35 litres in? how many litres is in the civic tank?

[krogoth]

lol...

35L for 330kms is pretty bad man, thats 10.6L/100, lol very very bad

civic tank is 45L

[diffuzn]

yeah i know its bad but i don't know why... like i said, the previous owner installed a vafc and tuned it to 100kw atw lookin at the dyno print outs, would that affect fuel consumption so much so that its doin 10.6/100?

[Alexx]

ay alexx how much your oxy sensor cost ya

about 95 aud delivered for an NGK one. would have been better a few weeks ago when the aud was stronger :rolleyes:

[Frankie]

yeah i know its bad but i don't know why... like i said, the previous owner installed a vafc and tuned it to 100kw atw lookin at the dyno print outs, would that affect fuel consumption so much so that its doin 10.6/100?


man my car is stock is its got a reading lik that

[krogoth]

yeah i know its bad but i don't know why... like i said, the previous owner installed a vafc and tuned it to 100kw atw lookin at the dyno print outs, would that affect fuel consumption so much so that its doin 10.6/100?

id say ur car needs the vafc gotten rid of and a retune

perhaps more, but i dont know enough about ur car

[Limbo]

yup cos more power will always come at a cost.

If its a worry try unplugging the VAFC and running standard ECU might see a dramatic change


yeah i know its bad but i don't know why... like i said, the previous owner installed a vafc and tuned it to 100kw atw lookin at the dyno print outs, would that affect fuel consumption so much so that its doin 10.6/100?

[krogoth]

but still limbo, 10.6 is very bad

sounds like the tune is rong i reckon, running extremely rich

[clayton4115]

just remember short trips kills fuel economy, i did a short trip to the shops 2.8 kms and got a dismal 8.7l/100 and that was when the car was warm as well (did a 20 km journey before this trip),

most times i use my other bomb for short trips.

[zedman_au]

Hey what are other FN2R drivers getting? Im struggling to make 500 kms from a tank. My average is usually around 8-9 ltr per 100. Always using vortex 98, mind you I do like the VTEC...............

[tiksie]

About 510kms in my EG3.

[Riviera]

average

500kms+Heavy footing now and then - EK4 B16A not even good condition motor either...


currently rebuilding...

[infurNOS]

300?? that is shit, u tank is leaking

driving sanely i can get 600+ per tank

but norma driving/revving etc 500+

in my eg5 Si, stock ;)

shit
i was struggling to hit 400.
now with my b18c2 in my eg i hit 400-450 easy from a full tank and that is with a decent amount of VTEC too

[blabla]

EJ8 Coupe with tunned B16a2 450km per tank 45ltrs with thrashing. driving it like a baba(GRANDMA) 550kms.

dude, i reckon you should change your engine, change it to a fuel injection or something mans, it doesnt cost as much..
i usually can go 500kms+ full tank, with my EG vti

:P

[xjm]

I feel pain for you guys with lower then 500,

i got an eg civic sedan 94, 1.5 - gives me 590km per 40l tank. or 6.7/100km

[max9907.0422]

Just bought my 99EK hatch last weekend from Sydney,put full tank & drive back to Canberra,only run 430km this tank and even with 280km highway drive.not happy!!

[55EXX]

new exhaust, 2.25" and intake (diy CAI and k&n) on my 92 si i'm into the 600's after a ecu reset.

[Limbo]

that's pretty sad, my ek4 did 650km to and from Canberra when it was stock on about 40ltr.

Boosted i managed to do 550km so not to bad still on 38ltr.

How much fuel are you counting per tank?
Only way to really count is top up tank full. Drive it till you get close to empty, then refill and see how much fuel you've lost.

The level is never 100% accurate as a measure

could need a good service. Or blocked air filter / fuel filter -
or even the tyres are slightly under inflated.

The above can drastically alter your fuel economy.

[bennjamin]

not passing 3000 rpm?
:P

i hit 728 out of a tank in my old Si (d16a8) - which is about 5l/100km.
Highway cycle.

i later hit about the same (700ish) out of about the same amount of fuel (36 litres) out of the same car with a b18c7 engine.
1.8 vs 1.6 , 1.8 sitting on about 3800rpm constant and the 1.6 sitting on about 3000.

Off boost or high cam , most cars should get decent numbers on teh highwway.

[max9907.0422]

That's what i did,put full tank last sat and drive around in Sydney,back home on Sun and refill it lastnight with close to the empty but light hasnt on.and that's 430km.I just change the sparkplug, fuelfilter and put injec clean today and hope will be better.:(

sorry abit offtopic, but why is the b18 has higher highway rpm? shouldnt it be alot lower since it's a powerful torquey engine? or does that have something to do with the final drive ratio?

btw, my d16y4 sits at 2.8 rpms @ 110 kmh on highway driving..

[krogoth]

2.8????????

wtffff

that is not possilble mate no way i have tried that 550 is tops
especially with the 4.78 box u have
and also u would have one of the most economical cars in australia with around a low 5.4 lt per 100kms

[Limbo]

shorter ratios on the dc2r, engine torque has nothing to do with it

when you refilled it how much did you refill to get back to full????

do the math - a full tank of 98 octane , on a eg hatch is about 35-36 litres right ? I filled 35 in (first click) , got to coffs harbour and half back again then to wakefield and back. 2 tanks both with 700. No lies here.
Off highcam , consistant revs on the hwy should give decent results as above.

i will have to send this way to car mags because u now have officially have the best fuel efficient petrol car in australia
beating alot of smaller eng capacity motors that are doing 5.6 plus

[bennjamin]

cool.
And ill keep driving to coffs and back 3 times a year and getting around 700 a tank.
Whats so unbelievable about it- these are the figures hwy cycle.

[tiksie]

If I used to 530km+ city driving in my old EG GLi hatch, I don't see why it's not possible for you to get a few hundred more on the highway.

[tayl51601]

I wonder if this thread has broken a new record on most posts in one thread lol

[55EXX]

43 litres i got 640km so 6.7L/100km mainly highway 120km/h at ~3200rpm

[MRGRIM]

100 or so ks more isnt hard to pull out of a light eg running this engine. I guess the standard ecu makes the difference

[55EXX]

cia plumbed to my front bar air dam ~ forced fed cia ftw seriously i did this and 2.25@ catback and got and extra 30+ kms from my tank plus a heavier foot. exhaust sounds too good not too tear it out into the red. really comes onto song 5500-7000

[jay_freaker]

I do about 350 - 370 kms while driving around suburban areas in my ek4. I feel that's a bit less. What do you guys think?

[kriZy]

im getting the same jay_freaker.

but only because the fuel tank got replaced with a smaller one as it cracked. tho i don't know how much smaller it is.

whats the standard size fuel tank for ek4s in litres? 40L? 45L? 50L?

[mEh.]

I believe it is 45L.
but yeah, 350-370km's does seem a bit less. How did you calculate that?

[MRGRIM]

ek4 sam as ek1 45lt as far ads i know only the ek9 has a 50lt tank so they say

[55EXX]

my tank is 45 but good luck fitting that in there. 43 is what it take to go from e to being able to see it full.

hey sup krizy, its johnson.


well, everytime i pour full tank i would reset my odometer thingy. and it ends up around 350-370. also another problem, everytime i vtec my car or gun it, by fuel meter goes up or down. is that normal. it ends up back to the same position i fink after a short period of time. sometimes i dun noe when to fill petrol because of this.

[MWAKU]

i get about 370KMs aswell, from a say, 45L pour..

though i have a h22z .... rofl, if u have a civic and ur getting 370Kms from 40L, something wrong there...

[Limbo]

i don't think most of you guys have a clue what your talking about and just throwing numbers out. Here's how you should be checking.

1) fill up car to full, reset the milage tacho
2) drive car normally until empty or close to empty, however you drive
3) fill up to full and check the actual ltrs exactly & check the milage reading. (usually you reset it again so you can keep monitoring)
4) apply the following formula

Total KM/100= X
Total Fuel/X= Y (this will give you the total ltres per 100km)

If you don't do the above, don't even bother posting your kms cos it will be virtually useless, and a waste of the thread.

You should repeat the process as you will get different readings depending on driving style, fuel etc...... Its a good way of keeping an eye on your car for any problems.

P.S anything like 8ltr per 100km is pretty good, anything below is excellent.
Anything great than 10ltr per 100km isn't so crash hot if your driving normally & most likely should be serviced and looked at.

just my 5c

[dahon]

limbos right
thats what i do everytime i fill up.
i usually get around 430kms on 33L which is around and avg of 7.7L/100km. thats on normal unleaded.
on premium/bp ultimate i get around 7L/100km. (470kms on 33L)

this is also mostly peak hour driving in stop go traffic & also running fatter tyres (205 instead of recommended stock size of 175)

just installed new exhaust.. well see how that affects it my consumption

[jay_freaker]

oh k.. ill try that 2morrow when i fill up.
thanks for the tip limbo.

[kriZy]

i get the same problem. when i vtec it. my fuel drops like crazy.. and i think "DAYM that vtec took alot of petrol" after driving normally for a while it slowly moves up a tad.

[SeverAMV]

last time i checked, most fuel tanks use a buoy type measuring system.

when you accelerate, weight shifts to the rear of the vehicle, and hence the fuel shifts to the rear. when you travel at constant speed, fuel sits level.

so when you accelerate hard, weight shifts to the rear, the top line of the fuel is hence on an angle instead of being level, causing the buoy to drop down a little (30L of fuel sitting on an exponential like curve would probably have the meter reading something like 20-25L instead, depending on the acceleration of your car).

then when you cruise at a constant speed, all directional forces essentially balance out and the fuel sits level again, so your fuel meter reads the fuel level correctly

even if im wrong about the buoy type system, the physics match. and although my explanation may suck, those who have watched initial d should get the gist of it by watching the way the water in a cup behaves.

[outatime]

filled up tonight.. had 575 on the clock and filled back to 37L. so that's 6.43L/100kms. my car goes through stop-and-go traffic from home to work. mostly school zone areas. and a 3km round trip from work to shopping centre every lunch time.

car has I/H/E setup by the way.

[p3anut]

My EK civic has a 45L tank. I'm kinda obsessed with fuel effiency too! So far I usually get about 8L per 100k in town (I know, not good but hey, I like taking off quickly!) so about 550k. BUT once I'm on the highway, sitting on about 110kph, I've often got 5.6L per 100k. I've regularly managed this, a few trips from Brisbane to Melbourne and Brisbane to Cairns have proved it. So around 800k per 45L tank! From a ten year old Automatic! Although changing from stock to a pod filter and new extractors dropped by about 1L per 100k.

[kenske]

does anyone else's trip meter measure in every 100m's? when i was reading and seeing you guys go only in the hundred k's and looking back at mine in the thousands got me perplexed at why mine measures in hundred metre intervals. 6.66/100kms btw after making the switch to premium unleaded

[rom5]

did 370km from a full tank, mostly drivin with air con on...Is that normal? btw i got a massive hole on my b-pipe:(

[Bludger]

i hit 728 out of a tank in my old Si (d16a8) - which is about 5l/100km.
Highway cycle.

i later hit about the same (700ish) out of about the same amount of fuel (36 litres) out of the same car with a b18c7 engine.
1.8 vs 1.6 , 1.8 sitting on about 3800rpm constant and the 1.6 sitting on about 3000.

Off boost or high cam , most cars should get decent numbers on teh highwway.I'm with Lan on this, the most conservative highway driving netted me 520 km's with 45liters.

[bennjamin]

how much does your car weigh? Are your tyres same as OEM (standard to engine) circumference ? Turned or standard ECU ?
I will take into consideration , that my speedo could be 3.3% off (due to tiny bit smaller circumference tyres) but 3.3% of 700 is around 22ks give or take.

[outatime]

if my car could do 6.3L/100kms in traffic, then it is achievable to get what Ben's EG did in highway.

[an93l]

I got ek4 full stock 100% with stock wheels on 195/55. Ive trying using all different types of Premium like vortex, ultimate, vpower all brings out nearly same outcome from 350-400 tank. Is that any good?

[chouri]

I've got a 98 EK4 w/ 15" wheels, CAI, tanabe 4-2-1 headers, fujitsubo exhaust on Shell V Power
Urban driving with VTEC here and there
Filled Up today: 410km on 33L
Result in litres per 100 kilometers: 8.0L/100km

I usually refill at around 450kms

[ekhybrid]

Urban driving with VTEC here and there


HOOON :thumbdwn:

[vinnY]

no idea what i'm doing wrong, can't get below 9.5L/100km :p

[redefine]

there are some nice figures here. i usually get about 500km to 40L (give or take, i never pay that much attention when i fill up. its an ek), and i'm not a hoon, but i'm not conservative with the accel, so that'll prob send my L/100k up a little. and i never do highway driving either.

[max9907.0422]

Fill up today with 450km on the clock,and the gauge just touch the E,it shall be 30-40 km more when the light come up!99EK hatch.

[bennjamin]

around town ? not bad.

[Stang]

I get at the very least 500 out of my EG Vti, including a spirited 100km or so hills run. Usually get 550-600 while not driving very efficiently.

[nisboi40]

town driving got 250 kms from 20 buks of bp ultimate
:) driving me ej8

[MZXO7K]

well mine varies from 300-400 a tank, it all depends on how u drive it.... i don't mind giving it a hit every now and then LOL =)

[JDM.Power]

i got 200kays for 18ltrs

[90LAN]

do the math - a full tank of 98 octane , on a eg hatch is about 35-36 litres right ? I filled 35 in (first click) , got to coffs harbour and half back again then to wakefield and back. 2 tanks both with 700. No lies here.
Off highcam , consistant revs on the hwy should give decent results as above.

a eg fuel tank is 45 lts mate
so u are wrong
on 3800 rpm it would chew petrol like if u were using 4th gear on a normal eg
but hey if u believe you did it then u did it

[bennjamin]

*sigh*

Who gives a toss. I put 35l of 98 in , it gets me high 600-700. A few times. The car is using the same amount of fuel and making the same power as a d16 at similar rpm.My old Si did the same figures.
Its a dedication to hondas NOT a hiss pick against YOU. YOU have a problem. Get over it :)

[barefootbonzai]

Sounds you have a very small rolling diameter on your wheels, vss reads wrong or your cluster is a little off.

35L and getting 600-700km is a bit hard to believe.

[VTi_b0i]

but it states that optimax will improve your fuel consumption by up to 44ks! LOL

[Henessaayyy]

I've gotten 390 k's since the last time I filled up. I put 30 litres in and I've still got more to go :D

[EK1.6LCIV]

yea still on around high 500s to 600 on my EJ8 in mountain mode, mixed with daily driving now, still costing me around $38 a wk to run on BP fuel which is good :D

[EK57SY]

on average do 450-550km on full tank... 99 EK civic

[na-118]

its not hard to believe i get 650kms out of a full tank

[Frankie]

i get 290 out of full tank ek1 not driving hard. only mod intake thats it. ive chnag spark plugs and fuel filter hasent changed anything

need help

[vinnY]

after filling up full, driving 290k's then filling up again
how much litres go in?

[Frankie]

normally 35ltr

[EK1.6LCIV]

something is def a miss in ur car, because I could redline all my gears, go to NSW border, thro more mountains, with three ppl in my car and still av. 400-450km a tank lol

have ur mech do a diagnostic check

[na-118]

lol i get 650kms, if you dont drive with air con, and not hammering the ****,
do a service on your car

[EK1.6LCIV]

650 isnt bad, my light would be on at that stage lol

I live in QLD ac is never an option on cars, it's a way of life at lunch time, lol

[55EXX]

i can't stand having air con on. it feels like i have the car full of fatties! feels slow as! only time i air con it up it when my missus is whinging she's hot. then i whinge back the car feels so sluggish ha ha ha

[90LAN]

time for a eng conversion lol

[55EXX]

i seriously wish i had the cash for it. since buying a house i've been buying crap i don't even normally look at in junk mail. 'wow those potted succulents at target would look nice as a dining table centre piece', 'Kmart have 30% of all electrical', 'That lcd at jb is a great price', and so on. haven't even thought about car stuff in a while.

i can't help myself but by stuff for it. i'll often just go into kmart etc and check out the bargains. yesterday i got a homemaker 26cm cast iron fry pan for $14! bargain! lol. i even figured out its all the kmarts etc at smaller shopping centres that have more bargains left. bigger stores sell out of them quicker cos of higher customer flow etc lol.

engine conversion is definitely on the cards tho its now just been pushed back a year or so. I wanted to do a b18c2 later this year or c7 if the aussie dollar got better after july 1. oh well, house is better.

[Frankie]

yeh i just had a service 2weeks ago. drive with aircon some times not all the time because car is slow.

[sid]

I get an average of 300 - 320 miles.

[wallyzcivic88]

hey man ive got an ED gl im only getting like 300-400 i drive it pretty hard tho lol mayb ur just giving urs too much of a hard time.... like me lol

[Mikecivic78]

I get at about 400 out of my ej8 1.6 sohc vtec. I give it a good 'ol vtec workout at least once a week (this definitely chews petty) and i wouldnt call myself a Sunday driver. The most Ive gotten out of it is 590 on he way from Brissie to the Whitsundays. It all depends on how heavy your foot is.

[Reloaded]

i get around 400-450kms out of my EK1, and i always pour b4 the petrol lights come on..

[guilinpan]

440km out of 35L in my stock ek4 b16a2

[underbelly]

Could someone please tell me what the stock capacity of the 99-00 Ek1 fuel tank is? Is it 45 or 50 liters?

Cheers :thumbsup:

[Frankie]

45ltrs

[underbelly]

Thanks Frank :)

[Frankie]

no worries champ

[redefine]

ah awesome. i always fill up with about 35-40. lol. never taken it to the fuel light yet.
i'm averaging about 450-500...but i'm hoping to get more now, cause i'm doing a 100k total highway drive about once a week.

on average, how much does highway driving take down the L/100k?

[90LAN]

5.3/5.4 lts if u have a b18cr with a 4.7 fd thats 700 kms plus
so with your car it will get less

[Bludger]

5.3/5.4 lts if u have a b18cr with a 4.7 fd thats 700 kms plus

[55EXX]

broke the 700km's/tank mark. 702km and fuel light didn't even come on yet. i've never seen it on still so it could be broke? though this was mainly highway.

[neo_phase]

Approximately 500kms on urban roads and 650kms when I travel up to Sydney in my EK.

Does the fuel that you use matter?

[redefine]

pretty sure i'm gonna crack 550 and over with roughly 100k's of highway driving

[bennjamin]

getting consistant 550 a tank around town , one more wakie and i got 500 with the drive down then around 35 laps of wakefield. On te way back the tank got about 630 to syd (about 200ks) then normal city driving. Fuel 98 caltex.

[bennjamin]

engine is running nice. Si ?
My last Si could muster 680 out of a tank - my current eg with a b18c7 hits high 600-just on 700 highway work

[90LAN]

wish my car could do that ben
your car is such a fuel miser
sure it isnt a breeze motor

[EK1.6LCIV]

Id love to clean my fuel lines one of these days (212xxxks and counting)

anyone been bothered?

[STiR]

600-700 highway.... i get excited with 320km :(

[SiR CRX]

I get 400kms every week from my EK VTi-R. A mix of freeway and suburban driving. BP Ultimate seems to give me more than Shell Optimax.

[55EXX]

engine is running nice. Si ?
My last Si could muster 680 out of a tank - my current eg with a b18c7 hits high 600-just on 700 highway work

yeah still d16a8

i get the keys to my house next friday and will be daily 50mins highway each way to work once i move in so that should climb regularly to over the 700 mark.

i really reckon making my airtight CAI plumbed to my front bar so it catches and forces the air into the engine made a noticeable difference power and economy wise during highway speeds.

also run good oil and just did a gear oil change with some added g70 so its running smooth internally.

once i move in i'll try one week to see the max i can get slipstreaming trucks etc.... and going the speed limit and not flooring it everywhere. for 270xxx k's she's doing well.

[Crapdaz]

are your cars tuned with any engine management systems?

[EK1.6LCIV]

my car runs stock oem ecu, k&n panel filter, new fluids as per servere service schedule, lol :D

[redefine]

same, stock ecu. diy cai w/ k&n panel. eng oil is good, but i prob need to change my box oil.

[cheapdouchebag]

**** im running bp ultimate for the 2nd time
im only getting about 310km's on a full tank size of 30L
i got stock automatic d15b sohc vtec.

Is there something wrong?!?!

I redlike like 5-6 times daily

[RtN]

Maybe its coz u redline 5-6 times daily? lol

[cheapdouchebag]

yeah but when i took it for a road trip, i got about 440 kms and i redlined like every 3 minutes lmao.

[redefine]

what do you do, constantly slow down to 50, then go up to 100/110?? XD

i now get NEARLY 600k's, like 550-570 out of a 40l tank, after doing a few things. changing oil, sri, advancing timing and running 98

[UkuleleGod]

I use my car to get from uni every day. I drive about 500km's a week. And normally (depending on how "Ambitious" my driving style is) I have enough in the tank to get me through the week.

I have had weeks where I have redlined as frequently as you say (just got a new gauge cluster with a Tacho :p ) and those weeks I would only get like 300-400 out of the tank.

[cheapdouchebag]

well with an auto car, ive worked it out if i just drive normally on 80, and then floor it the car will use a higher spining gear and throw me from 2krpm to about 5k and over :)

lol yeah, its like going cruising in 4th, and then kicking down to second.... fairly pointless though...esp when your just cruising

[cheapdouchebag]

its for the luls my man

Just wondering if anyone has gone from heavy wheels (e.g 17 or 18s) to smaller wheels and resulted in a massive difference?

I've got some pretty heavy ass 17's on my EG Si atm and only getting around 400kms. Been reading some of you get 600+ which is crazy!

[eight]

Just to rephrase; when I say massive difference I mean like 150-200kms.

Is that possible? By just changing to smaller wheels

[cheapdouchebag]

400 sounds reasonable, seeing as them si's only got 30L tanks (dont quote me but), im running 15" wheels on stockies and my car is a sedan EG

ive been only getting 310km's, but nowerdays after a month of using bp ultimate, its approaching the 450km mark. i am to believe im driving the same way i always have just getting more efficient some how. pay about 45bucks a week on petrol. either that, or im just getting less footing

i think when the guys get 600+, they know what their doing. MAYBE they have really really light feet on the gas.

[2MPRS]

i have 17s on my car im getting about 300-330 the old man manages to get 400ish in my car lol all about driving style i guess

[1996_EK_Civic]

i have a d16y8 with 17"s. with normal petrol i get about 350-380km, but last time i filled up i used 95 octane and got 420kms!

[vinnY]

afaik all your tanks are 45L
and 'a tank' is a pretty meaningless figure since you never suck it dry and never fill it to the same capacity
all you guys getting under 400k's per tank on relatively stock motors probably have heavy feet

that said my lightly modded b18c7 gets about 10l/100km on bp ultimate tuned on crome

[EK1.6LCIV]

Id be concerned if you got below 500km to a tank on the y8, I use vpower, drive spiritedly often and clear that mark with ease

had 17's and got the same k's, 15's didnt make a huge difference to fuel ecconomy and the tyres funnily enough are the same price for the same brands :( lol

I'd be getting that looked at

redbook says the tanks are 45L, i only assumed 30L cuz thats how much i only fill up each week and i get about 350km's out of it. i dont like to ever let it go over 400km but now im leaning more n more closer to 400km's,

[hiepy]

So i get about 380-400km out of a tank.
That's with a d16a turbo driving from livo > chatswood for work and back- through sydneys peak.

I found out BP fairfield was selling Wynns Hi-octane boost for $10 a bottle. (also fuel treatment, injector cleaners etc)
So i gave my EG a full tank with octane boost- i get more KMs!! like 460kms and im sure i wasn't granny driving because i was testing if the octane boost gave any performance increase many times in traffic.

So i think $10 is worth it for the extra kms and performance increase... lol
What do you guys think? Bad to keep running octane boost? - i went and bought another 5bottles just yesterday.

[vinnY]

better off spending your money on a tank of fuel imo.

[Frankie]

everytime i go to kmart they got none left i reckon mechanics but them all than go to there shop sell them for double lol

[Dc_II]

Is this still going?

My EK does 7.5L/100km... (480km/36L). Thats giving squirts here and there. D16Y non Vtec.

[Frankie]

what Y is it ??

[pablos8]

EG GL
1.5L twin carb

only getting about 320-340kms off a full tank..

every fill up i go from about 34-40L's

sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Dc_II]

I think its a D16Y4? Thats why I left out the last number...

[jim57a]

500km from 45lt tank of 98ron, occasional VTEC here and there [=

[Frankie]

dont know how you do it 500km out of a tank you must not past 2000rpm sht.. or u dont use air con or something

[quangsuke]

i get 500km off a 45l tank easy.
eg3 1.3l carby =D

thats spirited driving =D every and all day

[outatime]

i get 550km off 40L. 98 ron, aircon, traffic driving, and some ocassional squirts. it's a d16y4 EK1.

[Mikecivic78]

My EM1 is getting about 9L/100km. So that is 500km out of a full 45L tank. BP Ultimate or Mobil 98.

That's with plenty of driving in gridlock and spirited driving when I get the chance. Let's just say it's wound out fairly regulary. After all, it's B16a so it begs to be revved.

Sometimes the number creeps towards 10L/100km, but its never done more than 9.9/10L.

[Frankie]

How Can I improve my km out of my car

[duckey]

How Can I improve my km out of my car

Service it regularly...rev under 3000 rpm...use premium fuel etc etc

[grifty]

got 520kms outta a tank of 91 (not the e10 sh!T) and that was with some aircon mainly shifting at 2.5-3k

[cheapdouchebag]

yeah i get about 520-560 these days on 95 octane BP.
sometimes it just doesnt make sense
on weeks when i full give the enging a good thrashin i get about 490kms and weeks i dont i get 450 lol
so i just drive normally and 520 pops up easy the eff

[jim57a]

Service it regularly...rev under 3000 rpm...use premium fuel etc etc

as duckey said, regular service - engine oil, oil filter, air filter, petrol filter

[1996_EK_Civic]

525km but most of that was highway driving, from a D16Y8 petrol light still isn't on :)

[pablos8]

About 330-400 on my teggie :(

[jks24]

up around 500 usually..depends how I drive the car

[henrygiang]

get around 8.5l/100km from ls-vtec eg3. highest i hve gotten is 10L/100km

[mugen_ctr]

struggling to get lower than 10/100kms, i think it mite have something to do with the cat back system, an o2 sensor not reading properly cause of that.....

[dougie_504]

I'm getting 450-500 per tank now. D16Y1 Civic.

50KMs better than when I had 215/40/17 (now have 195/50/15)

[1996_EK_Civic]

i filled up with petrol today, and after those 525kms i still had 9 liters left in the tank

lets just say i enjoy driving!

[1996_EK_Civic]

SRI that be all, with 17's lol, but as i said it was mostly all highway driving

[espionage85]

in my da9 with a b18c2 i get about 450kms
only engine mod i have is a pannel k&n filter in a stock airbox lol

ohh and run 15x8 with 195/45/15 if that matters

[sexy_shazam]

Just filled up today and calculated my fuel economy to be just over 10 litres per the 100.

Im not sure what fuel was in my car as i got it from the dealer but i filled up caltex 95 vortex today so lets see how that goes.

[ekfour97]

114 kms out of 40L -- mallalla race track :p

300L at least.. cos vtec kick in YOOOOOO.... every day. lolzzzzz

[sab0r]

I'm using 9L/100km on a EK4. with I/H/E.
Filled up today 33Litres of V power 98 that got me 370km.

seems a bit rich?
cleaned air filter, changed fuel filter, change spark plugs, and serviced car.

any other ideas?

[dougie_504]

With my EH9 VTi. D16Y1 CAI + header. Normally getting about 450km before my light comes on, that's driving with a bit of pedal now and then. 400kms if I drive silly all the time.

And a month ago I did about 150km on the freeway and I managed to sit right behind a Ford Territory in their slipstream so I managed about 533km and the tank took about 40-42L can't remember how much. Was great :D

[sexy_shazam]

Managed to now lower my fuel consumption to 10.6L/100 always filled with caltex vortex 95

Car is a 1996 EK1 Civic CXi.

sounds just about right. gotta remember these cars are starting to get long in the tooth so its fuel efficiency has lost a bit of edge.

['Nade]

421 km from 39 L
= 9.264 L/100 km

Not bad considering it's to Uni and back during peak hour traffic.
Have a feeling that it's going to be quite a bit lower this time around.

[FRK202]

I usually hit ~400kms and fill up ~35litres to the tank (of 91 fuel). I've gotten 430km but I don' dare go any further than that

[Egxris]

i get 500/550km out of each tank. EG, B18c2...98ron

[kakasing]

Its weird, last month I refuel twice, the first time I drove 300km from less than 20L, change gear when rev reach to 2000 or less, a couple of weeks later I refuel again and used the same way to drive but damn it, in the past 300km I used a bit more than 30L..........

[mocchi]

i get 500/550km out of each tank. EG, B18c2...98ron

shit bor thats good milage
