You'll need to ellaborate on what you mean by "one drive" dude....


If you are talking about how many kms you will get out of a tank, there is a massive thread about that with the general reply being around the 450-550 mark depending on mods.

If you mean, continuously driving it all day, only stopping to refuel etc.... Well that is a bit hard to judge. the furthest i've driven my civic, only shutting her off to refuel, is probably around the 800km mark. but you will get plenty more out of it than that.

I mean hell i've driven an absolute POS falcon with 300000kms on the clock from brissy to Sydney in a day (1000kms) with only 2 very short (under 10 mins) stops, in summer, with the a/c on full ball and had no trouble.

The car will last for much longer than you will be able to keep driving as long as it doesnt have any problems prior to starting the trip.

.....only stopping to refuel .....
yea that's what i mean, until problems start to occur.
800km???? I thought 300 km mark is tough enough for a 1.6L civic (or any small car)
