How Much Kms Does Your Eg Run On Full Tank?!?! SHOW ME YOURS! WHAT U DID TO IT ETC :D

[victa69]

hmm i was just wondering how much kms u guys out there run on a full tank. i do about 400 when i floor it here and there, and 450 when i dont floor it at all. my car is pretty stock, not much done.

drift exhaust

custom catback

cold air intake

planning to get hid kit put on too :)

anyway tell me what u think about my eg, show me your sexy eg's and how tell me how much petrol yours consumes!:D

[VTi_b0i]

ive got a b18c, full xhaust and CAI among other things in my EG sedan, i get roughly 500ks to everytank...i very rarely flog it tho.

[EG5]

With full tank of fuel I can get 420 - 450 km's
i got K24A EG , daily driven.

[bennjamin]

eg hatch with a b18c7 ~ stock motor wise. Daily driving around 450 per tank but on the highway i have been pulling 650-700km per tank. Impressive !

[02gzm]

b16a with 4-1 extractors, custom 2.25" exhaust + intake, forgies, chipped ecu (running rich atm) and the best it's done was around 380-400km. After a tune it should get back to over 400km

[A.G.System]

EG VTI Stock motor just cat back and minor induction mods.

Get 450km from tank when driving hills
550km when driving "Normal"
630km Freeway

Just keep it under 6k and you should save fuel :)

[G3RA1D]

how do u guys manage to get so much kms.?
b16t in my EG. only manage to get 380km :eek:. rarely even in boost, shifting at 3500rpm and @ less then 60% throttle.

how can i improve my fuel economy.?

[VTi_b0i]

take off the turbo :p

[G3RA1D]

haha was getting the same mileage when i was NA.

[jdm_kid]

get a service. lol

[[[d a n n y]]]

Auto Si
460-500 kms usually
bit of flooring and normal driving
dead stock car

[Chi]

I have a Mitsu Mirage, $40-45 for a full tank, does 550-600 per tank.

[destrukshn]

haha was getting the same mileage when i was NA.
get your tune checked out
by dc2 b18c turbo, gets 500kms without hitting boost, and some boost, is 400-450kms.
abosolutly giving it hell is 200-250kms.
lol

[kairi_k]

hey mate did you get led taillights and nightshade them? or thats what they look like out of the box?

cheers
manual trans + 2.25" straight exhaust + J's racing intake = 400km 'normal' conditions

[kairi_k]

need to replace oil filter =S ..suspecting thats reason for low milage

[A.G.System]

could also be the way you drive :p

[bennjamin]

off boost or VTEC , most cars should do the roughly same mileage. Only difference is overall weight / wind resistance and tyre pressure that overly affects your ks per tank :)

Just be easy and gradual on your throttle and get the most out of ur car

[omgitsmatt]

im lucky to get past 300 in a stock eg =/

[aznpsuazn]

If you haven't owned a turbo you won't realise how efficient they can actually be down low, off boost. I averaged 8.9L/100 according to the dash, or 9.1 according to actual calculations from a 2.0Turbo.

[david87]

ek civic: approx 500ks to a tank
'normal' driving =)

some of those figures seem low

[rice_civic]

im lucky to get past 300 in a stock eg =/

check your fuel tank for holes.

[aznpsuazn]

im lucky to get past 300 in a stock eg =/

Your car has problems. Get it checked

[victa69]

i got the ricey looking tail lights off ebay. lol! i tinted them dark so they look more sexy and less ricey. :D i just wanna be unique, since i havent seen any in melb why dont u guys post up pics for your car i wanna seeeeee

[Red_EG4]

my eg is bog stock, got 570kms with hard driving using 95 octane.

[A.G.System]

depends what you classify as hard driving. but sounds about right.

figures i quoted before were from

fill up - pump filler clicks off 2nd time.
empty - low fuel light comes on (due to needle being stuck and still havent got round to fixing)

so figures will be slightly lower than actual by 30 - 60km driving style dependant.

[hayashi_1986]

400 flooring it to all hell.

450 if I want some fun.

550 granny style :)

Can get 600+ but I don't like to run it to the bottom...Don't know what's down there in the tank hehe

[phwoaaa]

manual eg si
400-450 km
having a go here and there.

[rayb3na_]

dam.. this really sucks u guys get pretty good consumption.. my cars currently 400kms if im lucky with rarely any fanging just sri and stripped!

[saya]

I have a VTI (stock D16Y1) and get around 480-500~ from a full tank.

Love it :)

[55EXX]

stock manual d16a in my eg and i get 580 normal daily driving. thats not even till the light comes on and a bit of fanging here and there. my car has heaps of added weight too.... dynamat.... everywhere!

[phwoaaa]

iv done 410km this week in my d16a8 eg si manual with plenty of fanging as i just got my car back....

light hasnt came on yet =)

[I heart the SSS]

D15 Twin carb EG.

Usually around 450 / 500 a tank of 98 RON vortex. Fair bit of fanging.

This week i'm on 317 K's with just under half a tank to go. Should hit over 500 :)

[nobbs]

i got an EG SI totally stock..just headers..

i get 460-500 normal driving

and 420-460 fanging it a bit

[55EXX]

just filled up did 550k's on 39L (2mm from hitting the empty red line) that 14.1km/L or 7L/100km. my car is a '92 Si hatch with d16a8 in good tune runs 98ron and 215/35/15 toyo t1-s with 39psi front 37psi rear full sythetic fuchs 10w-40 engine and mobil gear box oil with nulon g70 added. engine is stock except for a k&n filter and cannon tip. i have added 2 bulk packs of dynamat to my car plus full stereo so thats like a extra passenger of weight always in my car.
this average?

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Bone stock 86' Civic With stock Ew2 Carb'd engine :D

Hmm...

Lately ive been getting crappy milleage but have been doing ALOT of cold starts (car also needs service and tune up...)

Lately milleage=500k's with hard driving (really hard driving)

Good/average milleage not long ago was around 650 (really hard driving)

On a 36 litre tank (6 litres overflow)

Normal petrol used is the stuff cheaper stuff advised for the older cars :p

Best ive gotten was 700k's w/o going into overflow tank :D

[victa69]

man i wish some one would like post a pic of their car. i love EGs <3 i have a passion LOLS! im gnna go to dandenong this weekend to retune my car so it does more kms and goes abit harder. lol my mates all did it and they getting about 50-80 more kms on their car! its pretty good in the long term! :D

[55EXX]

do a ecu reset. otherwise have you timing checked replace you plugs and leads

[hayashi_1986]

Sorry to highjack but it's somewhat related...I've got a d16y1 conversion in my breeze, but the fuel light NEVER comes on...I've run out of fuel ONCE and that's because my gauge told me I still had some fuel left BUT the fuel light doesn't turn on EVER...there IS one there though because I had the cluster replaced with the VTi one.

Confused :(

[rayb3na_]

maybe the bulb is blown or the sensor

[hayashi_1986]

Possibly...might have to check it out. Either way, doesn't affect my mileage haha

[jay_vtec]

im not sure if hondas have these yet but in the old toyota soarers they tell u how many litres are left when the light comes on....its madd

[tiksie]

^^ HEKTIC BRO.


My EG gets 580+ kms with BP Ultimate, minor induction mods, DR|FT exhaust..

Thats Sydney city/inner west etc driving.. Never seen how many I got on the highway, but im sure ill pass 700 mark easy.

Here is my current ricebox that is going to be getting a whole different look soon.

And yes..The altezzas are deffiately going!

[.k.]

atm driving an eg5 i think (si) haven't paid for full tank yet but first time i put in $25 which was just over halfway and got 300k's (fuel light hadn't even come on yet) and that was granny driving =)

[EK Civic R]

In my old EG was getting around 500.

B18C, I/H/E and a few other bits an pieces..

With normal driving I was getting around 580kms

[steve88]

manual i can get about 40L out of 500km's

[victa69]

i wonder what checks u gotta do to see if ur car is running right. my mates have eg's and shit and their cars only do about 300 - 350 LOL his civic is a vti, has cold air intake, custom catback and drift exhaust... just like me. hmm he might need a major service? what do u guys think?

[eazy]

b16a crx, on a good day i get 450km per tank...meanwhile my mates rb20 silvia is getting the same mileage, not fair

[vincikwan]

DC2R--450km a tank

[vincikwan]

b16a crx, on a good day i get 450km per tank...meanwhile my mates rb20 silvia is getting the same mileage, not fair

Thats bcos the tank size may be different.

[eazy]

nah its the same as mine, 45 litre tank i think...he gets 10l/100km like me

[aaronng]

nah its the same as mine, 45 litre tank i think...he gets 10l/100km like me
How do you calculate 10L/100km if you are getting 450km out of a 45L tank? Are you running your tank to empty and getting stranded on the road at 450km?

[eazy]

well i drive till the light comes on, fill up 40 or so litres than drive till the light comes on again. Its rough but its always around 10l/100km give or take...like i said 450km is on a good day.

[GTKING]

didnt someone have a graph show his percentages of his fuel consumption
showing how much he poured to how much km's he drove and worked out how much he would get in a complete tank

[aaronng]

As long as you are filling up til the pump stops on its own, then that is a good fuel consumption calculation. Even better is if you fill up at the same pump everytime, but that is not really realistic since we tend to go for either the cheapest station of the day or any petrol that we can get our hands on if there is a shortage. :)

[fezp]

i only get early 300kms before my tank almost hits the E.. i can actually see my petrol bar moving down while i drive.. it goes down a whole line and i shift at early 3k rpm
first gear is about MAX 3k then shift. mostly 2 though.

driving: DC2R, high flow cat and K&N filter recently had it's 70k service on sat.

tyre pressure 36psi was 40 before though.
rarely take it past 4k rpm so i only vtec like once in a week maybe. my petrol lasts me less than a week.. i only travel about 40km to work.

had a v6 3.0L camry that had done 200k kms on the clock but was still able to push 530kms off one tank (60L tank).. but that's solid pushing. average was 470 with plenty of flooring.

can someone tell me what's wrong with my 1.8L car seeing as i hardly ever vtec it.

You answered your own question.

Stop driving like a friggin nanna and shift gears correctly.
read your manual for recommended shift points or just take it to 5k average on shifts :)

[tang(oO)]

400... if i push

got a eg gli

still tryingn to figure out wats wrong wit it.

did a ecu reset this tank round so im waiting to see how it goes

[pihlor]

i get about 550 k's on stuff like 8000 and v power but only get about 420 k's on regular

[david87]

when going from standard 91 to 98 fuel, do i need to do anything to my car (EK GLi Civic) like reset ecu or something??

[4age8u]

d15b 400ks twin carb manaul on 95 gas

[4age8u]

twin carb,white one

[Cvik_ryda]

ek h22a daily drive with dashes of thrash 420-450. running on 98 petrol

[Rice_banger]

i get about 400KM per tank which is full till 4 clicks

but ive noticed i reckon i get better economy when thrashing on 98

anyone else notice more KM / L when using premium ?

oh ya and just a stock as rock EK running on 15s

[kairi_k]

400... if i push

ey yo me too..i only getting about 400 max..no idea whats wrong..i changed oil filter recently, cleaned the fuel injectors and topped up fuel with octane booster..should get more kms this time around hopefully.

[shebangs]

I did 550 just before on my GLI, 41L to refill it full. Not too shabby.

I have no idea how bogans are okay with driving around with 60L Commodores getting 450K's to a tank. Sure the V8's are fast, but I'm talking about the 6's. Slow, sound like shit, look like shit, and still get ****ed up fuel Economy.

[Limbo]

b16a with 4-1 extractors, custom 2.25" exhaust + intake, forgies, chipped ecu (running rich atm) and the best it's done was around 380-400km. After a tune it should get back to over 400km

that's what i get also ;(
I rem when it was stock i use to get almost 500km per tank, on 40lts
now i get like 350km on 38ltrs

[A.G.System]

For those trying to work out what their consumption is type in your details in the link below and you will be able too see.

im approx 8.8ltrs/100kms.
can get that down as low as 6.1 freeway (adel- melb).

Not bad for my driving style and 40ltr EG tank.

Give it a try.

Fuel Calculator (http://www.dropbears.com/u/utilities/fuel_efficiency.html)

[Rice_banger]

last nite i filled up with 20L of prem and i went up the gorge only 40KM total driving and i used it all hows that for fuel economy ?

[AudiFan]

I think someone syphoned your fuel.

[A.G.System]

last nite i filled up with 20L of prem and i went up the gorge only 40KM total driving and i used it all hows that for fuel economy ?

20l of prem @166.9c = $33.33

Redlining (7200+rpm) it up the gorge uses approx: 15l/100km.

so id say: GOOD WORK MY SON :)




But seriously get a tune :p

[sir_egg]

i got standard twin carb was using unleaded fuel got roughy over 550, using premium vortex now & stil get roughly 500+ with giving it abit now n then

[Rice_banger]

But seriously get a tune :p

anyone want to cruise the gorge tonite ?

so a tune , a tune in a EK1 is that easy to do and cheap , do i need a new ECU or a piggyback


2 nites ago i was sucidal in the gorge all over both lanes and a kangaroo poped out the way , and lets say i almost hit it

[A.G.System]

dude if you have to leave your standard lane anyhow your not driving near me.

try give your car a service, get some new oil into it as it sounds like you drive hard. new filter to get rid of the metal shards. plugs, air filter etc.

No use ecu modding until you have something to mod.

as for roos. they are nothing its koalas yo have to watch out for.

[kapten]

Driving an EK1 which i just bought, its giving me nearly 300k on 40L! im not sure but is that good enough? Car is completely stock.

[A.G.System]

id say no

what kinda rpm yo changing gears at?

going over a set rpm isnt good for fuel economy but neither is going under.

Id say get a decent tune done then check again.

you sure ? its the koalas

im just saying due to im scared shitless rite now due to that kangaroo was so massive and i was on wrong side of road i shit it same as the roo

ive changed the plugs to platinum's , new oil + filter + air filter , got a fuel filter but dont know how

anyone want some cash to install a fuel filter tomorrow , il trade for some blue xeon bulbs or some meguairs wax? or autoglym sealants name it ?

normal driving i usually shift every 10KM , due to no tacho have got one but cant be bothered

[EG30]

490km on my last tank when the fuel light came on. Prev 540-550km with the orig EG si zc engine/gearbox setup pre B16a conversion. BP ultimate mostly, vortex98 at times.

EG5 B16A2 with 107.7kw atw, type R cams, ITR IM+TB crome ecu tuned by DynoDave. ITR g/box 4.785FD.

I usually potter around traffic, change up at 2.5-3Krpm and I dont blip throttle for the sake of it nor I sit in traffic idling a lot. Prob 20-30 full throttle 8.5k rpm shift ups every tank interval.

[kapten]

id say no

what kinda rpm yo changing gears at?

going over a set rpm isnt good for fuel economy but neither is going under.

Id say get a decent tune done then check again.

Well i usually shift around the 3.5-4.5 mark sometimes going over to 5.5. I also do frequent start and stops, could that be aone reason?

[A.G.System]

Id say a combination of the 2

Try upping your revs to 4.5 - 5.5 range.

[MikeyG]

honesty...

my car is fukd... i put full tank.. and it was like 150kms at near halfway.. its seriosuly not good fuel mang :( i got 118 kms on the clock gonan go service @ 120 should i tell the mech @ honda to do a tune or sumshyt or i gotta go sumwhere else for that?

[55EXX]

i got 538kms to 39.8L today.

i give my car a bit and change around 4.5k. i usually skip 4th gear and go to 5th even if only going 60. i try and kill off as much revs as possible. i blip the throttle everytime i change down gears aswell.

[bennjamin]

interesting numbers there.
What are peoples numbers daily vs highway driving ?lower constant rpms equates to better economy , and varible speeds and rpms equates to more fuel used.
i have a eg hatch with a b18c7 ,I get about 300ks from 20l around town ,
and about 750km from 38l (full tank). quite a difference.

one thing i hope you all are checking is your tyre air pressure - it has a BIG relevance to fuel economy.

[eight]

you seriously get 750km from a 38L tank in your b18c7?

thats amazing LOL

[EG30]

that's 5.1L/100km, Prius territory.

[dsp26]

wtf are u serious ben?!?!?! what ecu? i'm pretty sure you have to drive your car hard sometimes :p

[55EXX]

that would have to be going on a straight road at 60 in 5th with no accel pedal just the torque of idle to keep you moving with a good back wind.

[bennjamin]

you seriously get 750km from a 38L tank in your b18c7?

thats amazing LOL

thats on the motorway....same fuel economy as my d16a8 before it. Almost same constant revs too. Off high-cam honda motors are quite efficient :)
Remember my car also weighs 980kg's so its not pulling 1300kgs or so.


wtf are u serious ben?!?!?! what ecu? i'm pretty sure you have to drive your car hard sometimes

stock itr ecu dude , believe me when i say this - it really is EMPTY (light comes on 2nd time) and i drive slow most of the time. Also remember this is the BEST ive got - you are right that i dont always drive like a granny :)


that would have to be going on a straight road at 60 in 5th with no accel pedal just the torque of idle to keep you moving with a good back wind.

not really , numbers are to QLD and back. Got a picture of the tacho somewhere on my hd. Always in 5th around the 90-110 mark. max revs @ 4000rpm.

[whydidibuyavei]

I've got a vei with the vtec-e and I get about 500-600kms a tank for city/highway if I keep the revs down. If only driving on the freeway I have done more but I cant remember. Rev it up though and its no different to any other fuel guzzla

[Rice_banger]

sigh my economy is getting worse ,

130km out of 20L of premium

[Limbo]

New update...
Got 450km on 36ltrs driving to Canberra, running V-power.
Pretty happy now. When it was fully stock i was able to get 600km on 40ltrs!

But then again its not bad considering i've almost double the car's power


that's what i get also ;(
I rem when it was stock i use to get almost 500km per tank, on 40lts
now i get like 350km on 38ltrs

[Limbo]

sigh my economy is getting worse ,

130km out of 20L of premium

That's like 15L per 100km!
Shit that's even worse than when i'm hitting redline every gear. You need to take that to a good mechanic

[90LAN]

worst 380km best 550km
EG6 b18cr using shell 98
i like to drive they way honda intended for us to drive with vtec
so avg around 450 km

[nick_sixx]

^^ i agree gree, driving "spritedly", around 400kms with i/h/e, and long trips around 500-550 on highways etc

[Mikes_DC5R]

DC5R 2003 - TUNED WITH HONDATA ECU, CAI.

FULL TANK give me about 420km - daily driving...

ANGRY STYLE - lowest i ever got 380kms.

best ever 480km

but this is till my fuel light lits... so yeah
this also depends on what fuel i use.. i remember my EK was best on Mobil.. MY dc5r does well with mobile but better on Shell.. I gotta say BP ultimate gave me shit fuel economy and lower performance than shell..

vtec for cars now!!!
