DC2 Type R Fuel economy

[gitsumhnnnr]

Hey guys - just want to know - how many km's do you get out of a tank?

I use optimax and only average 350km city driving and 400km on the freeway

[FANATK]

all depends on how u drive!
im looking to get a type r as soon as i find one,
my GSi teg did 500-550 a tank!

[tRipitaka]

all depends on how u drive!

Yep! depends if you enjoy the occasional squirt of VTEC, or whether you drive with no VTEC, or if you like to VTEC it all the way..
It all effects your petrol consumption

[faijai]

i get 400 on a dc2r
50 litr tank.
driving normally with vtec engage sumtimes.
everything stock except a vtec contorller.

[type one]

i was very heavy footed and i got 400+ out of one tank and i never saw the petrol light come on. The fuel stick would sit right on the E - which would mean i proly had another 50k or so.

[[XsCaPe]]

i drive a vti-r and i average about 390 - 400kms until the light comes on.. thats with you average city driving, seeing the redline once or twice every 50kms.

honestly im disapointed with the fuel economy of b-series engines.. my previous car (2.2 litre mazda mx6 turbo, running 12psi on a t28) got better fuel economy.

approx 10l/100km here, but I don't get to do much freeway driving. I estimate around 8l/100km if I did.

[uetecu]

i've done 650km on a freeway.

400-420km city peak hour driving.

[Sp3rMz]

I average at 370kms. Note: Car is modded, running rich and needs a re-tune.

[00dc2]

i'm like uetecu.. done 650 on the freeway.. usually do around 8.5l/100km in the city

if you want better fuel economy you need to drive gently!

Can't really do that when you have VTEC..
VTEC is friggin addictive..

I reckon stop start traffic is the real killer when it comes to fuel economy.

When you're VTEC'ing you're at least gaining lots of kms :D

YES, stop start traffic is the worst.. especially when you're at the lights..
I always VTEC it.. I dunno why, that's just who I am..

P.S. I don't drag against anyone.. I compete against myself to the speed limit

[itr025]

Hopefully only when your engine's all warmed up properly. :)

Course man..
lols, I always leave 10 minutes earlier to go out..
Just to warm my engine up ;]

[itr025]

yeah so do I, just as a precaution. ;)

[edw-R]

Around 350-400 km with 35 litre fuel.

[gitsumhnnnr]

I dunno why i'm getting such low mileage. I've got a mate who averages 250km in his car, but he admits to flogging the car to the max, but another mate reckons he gets 500km on average


I've recently had my 50k service and nothing bad was reported ...

[jords]

I get between 360-400kms if i drive 'normally' not using vtec all that often. And about 250-300kms driving pretty hard. Its very hard to drive out of vtec.... who cares how much petrol you use when its screaming up to 8500rpm

[Q_ball]

i usually get round 500 freeway drivin
during city drivin i get round 400...but then agn mines only a gsi
;-)

[Lepperfish]

Around 350-400 km with 35 litre fuel.



Yeah same here......:honda:

[hong_ung]

i get about 370 kms
mostly start n stop
with a flogging every now and then
usualli 38 litres will fill the tank

[MACBOYZ78]

my one 330-380kms

[edw-R]

i am thinking how to do fuel economy. As i know, the A/F ratio of factory cpu is around 12.5. If I change the A/F ratio to 13.3 with aftermarket cpu. I think the car will be more faster and save more fuel.
If i'm wrong, pls correct me with detail explaination.

[spoonfed]

i get get between 370 to 400km from a tank of fuel

i got vtec and i did 650kms on a freeway..........was so happy coz usually onlu average 420-430 wif ultimate =)..ultimate is better then optimax i reckon...wif optimax approx 390-400

[LAGOOT]

with my car i usually get around 380-410km with the occasional squirt ;)

did you get them to check the "long term fuel trim" figures? these DEFINITLY affect fuel economy...

i think you can reset these by removing the battery cable?

by leaning out the AFR you will use less fuel.

[fasinn8]

My DC2R and provides about 400kms for a full tank.
I think i have 35litre tank or somewhere near there.... wish petrol was cheaper...

[gitsumhnnnr]

I agree with quangsta. I've filled up with BP ultimate and seem to me getting better mileage now. So far half a tank = 220km

So hopefully when I drive it till the light comes on, it'll be about 440km give or take.

But thats much better than the 350km with Optimax.

I thought all 98 RON fuels were pretty much the same. Or has it got something to do with the integra engine?

[thanh]

after reading this thread, i really think my fuel economy is stuffed. i only get 330 to 350... HEAHAEHAEHAE or i just have a heavy foot without knowing.

[fly_vti]

how many times do i see a petrol related thread man lol.. na it depends on how u drive u cant say.
