Fuel economy suddenly better?

[kingmlh]

Hey guys, driving a 2003 Honda Integra DC5 luxury model.
Every time i refuel to the max (until i cant add any more fuel) i like to keep track of how many KM i run. Usually i reset the clock with Trip A starting from 0. Around halfway i usually hit 200-250km at MAX (rarely hit MAX). This time all of a sudden (with no change to the way i drive) i am hitting 300km (picture A) and after traveling another 50km it seems to drop a tiny bit (picture B). Is this normal? I'm worried my fuel indicator may be a bit faulty.
Has anyone ever hit 350km with the fuel indicator just a bit under halfway?

if you use 3/4 of a tank and fill, how many litres do you fill?

Try and fill at different points and compare how many litres you're filling. Develop a feel of litres filled vs indicator

I'll start keeping that in mind next time i refuel. Thanks

Hey man, Don't worry about it too much.

I have a DC5R. Same Issue. I think its cos we overfill.

I do the same thing on Trip A i reset every full fill. I always do full tank and use it till the light comes on or if shes done over 400km and i know im going far ill fill up.

1st 1/2 of meter i usually get like 300-350, then 2nd 1/2 i get 500-550 before light comes on.

Also should add - Yesterday I fill up before power run. Light came on had to drive 7km to nearest Shell. I filled up 50.8 liters. Now our cars only have a 50L tank and I know there was fuel left in the tank. How'd I fill up more then 50L still? Confusion.

Also last night i drove 250KM+ and shes still reading only 1/4 used.

so maybe the servo pump meter was dodgey?

Wow thanks man, will be able to sleep at night. Pretty impressed at how fuel efficient it is.

sounds like a dodgy servo

or maybe you have a 4th dimension fuel tank


mind=blown

fuel efficiency is measured in L/100km, not by the needle

Wouldn't be suprised if it was a dodgey servo. Seen some photos where the litres at cost don't match up.
