How many KM can DC2 VTIR run in full tank of petrol?

[MoNd3sto7]

Hi everyone

I just want to know how many KM that you guys car can travel in one full tank of petrol? My car only can travel 330Km just for one full tank of petrol. Dont u think it's abit low? :? My car is standant. no modification......

[ginganggooly]

i manage around 400-500 depending on traffic, weather and my mood (happy spastic means i'll be redlining it everywhere)

[Ironfist]

mine goes for about 400k's +
with some spirited driving

[joneblaze]

Ditto. The GSi averages around 4XX kms every tank on 98RON. Btw Mondesto7, how are you measuring your mileage?

[IntegraGSi]

Serious? I can normally get about 550km out of a tank before i fill up, the fuel light comes on at around 570. That includes more than a few trips to redline btw.

[MoNd3sto7]

huh? :shock: reli? how come my car only can travel less than 350km from full tank? is it something wrong with my car? i just bought my car for about one and a half month ago. anything can help?

I measure it from Full tank petrol to empty (when the light is on).

[tuand]

its better to fill up b4 the light dude

i heard not sure but heard its not good for your petrol pump shit if u leave it too empty lol

some1 tell me if im wrong

[ginganggooly]

how's your engine temp?

replacing my thermostat made the single largest improvement to my economy :)

[ATSE]

When was the last tuneup the car had? This includes Spark Plugs, Spark Cables, Cap, Rotor, Fuel Filter, timing check. Also check your primary and secondary 02 sensors...

[Javed]

Also the fuel filter could have something to do with this. as ATSE already suggested

[pornstar]

i used to get about 550, but spirited driving about 450 sometimes 350 if im not a good boy!

[vti-2]

I used to get 300-350. And there was nothing wrong with my car. ;)

[soul4real]

I read a thread on here about fuel filters, someone said they only got about 3XX out of a tank and after they hanged their fuel filter they were getting around 500 k's.

it's going to depend a heap on where you drive - city driving and sitting in stop start traffic is going to use a lot more petrol than breezing along a freeway for an hour

any impurities in the petrol, like gunky that builds up over time will sit at the bottom of your tank - so best off if you keep filling it up, so you use nice happy petrol, rather than the murky shit at the bottom. I think this'd matter a lot more for cars which are old though.

My petrol lights buggered - it flashes on when there's at least 15-20 litres still in there.. then goes away until maybe 10 litres is left? then it stays on. But it has a bit of trouble starting when it gets low - and when its really low, like on 10, man, it freaks me out, keep thinking the battery's died again :P

[Yspool]

I only get bout 300-350kms too!

[pars]

i get around the 350 mark just changed to splitfire leads new coil and plugs no difference it dun matter what fuel either but feels better with optimax

[Crinos]

I got 455kms out of 42 litres when I filled up mine last time... works out to be about 9.2L/100km, and that included a lot of around town driving...

[IntegraGSi]

Yeh, it makes a big difference if your driving is mainly highway or city, driving style too. hehe, Canberra isn't too much of a city really (not much stop start driving).

I did look up what the average fuel consumption was though (according to honda) and it's between 6 (highway) and 8 (city) litres per hundred k's, ;) Just a point of reference if you guys think you should be getting better economy.

man dont stress, ive done this test a few times, ive got basic bolt ons, i/h/e city driving, stops and starts etc 380km if im lucky(with a little bit of racing but mainly just normal city driving), but if you drive like a grandma, shifts at about 3k coasting down hills in neutral not flogging it, i got 460 - 480km (i did this experiment twice on a full tank to the fuel light)

ive got a 95 vtir dc2

[BlakTegra]

Mine varies on driving still.
But on average with both city and highway and hooning, I get about 350k's out of a full tank. I find that really shocking.

Imagine if I had turbo! :P

[Integra_guy]

I get about 370 (being naughty) up to 460km per tank.

[16CTEG]

i tens to get aboyut 440K's per tank, that was before i serviced it and with abit of redlining, but since i serviced it this tank i ahve now is right on half way and i have done almost 300K's, so i am happy about that, looking at about 570 or so Ks for the tank, which works out awesome, which is 7.3L per 100K's but chances are i'll boot it abit and i wont get the 575K's, so it is worth changing ya oil in ya car it's helps alot!!!
