2009 civic vtil

Hey guys one thing concerning me about mums 09 civic vtil got bearly 300 km on the last tank of shell v power. Is this normal or should I get it checked out. Mostly city driving and never driven hard

Test it again with another full tank. If u get the same results then go ask ur Honda dealer/mechanic

Yep as aero says.

Could it be the quality of the fuel at that bowser ?? And what about if we use the a/c a lot ?

is the car new?, coz for the first 2-3 tanks it runs rich as, for some reason,
using a/c shouldnt affect your mileage that much, well not 200+km at least

its an 09 civic, so its not that new anymore. probably has 40,000kms or more? it should be doing a lot better than 300kms per tank.

u filled it with v-power, which is 98 ron, and shell usually make very good fuel. i dont think its the quality of the fuel. if u are concerned about it, just fill it up at another shell station or a different brand with 98 ron (perhaps bp ultimate?). a/c does affect fuel consumption, but like aznboiio1 said, it shouldnt affect ur mileage enough to only achieve 300kms from a full tank.

before u go to ur mechanic or dealer, be absolutely sure that it was not just freak one-time incident by filling it up again and conducting a test under the same conditions (or as close as possible).

Although its not a new car it has only 4000 km on the clock. Hmm this is the second time I filled up with 98 and its the second time that we have barely hit 300 km per tank. I thought it should be sitting around 500 + per tank. And if there is a problem the car is still under factory new car warranty ?

So take it back to the dealer and complain :)

300kms...city driving?...possible....

i can get less than 400kms before the gas light lit

aircon is always on and with 4 passenger all the time...70% city driving..30% highway

Yeah the aircon is mostly on but 80 percent of the time no more than 2 passengers

I feel for you guys with sucky mileage. My driving habits and road conditions are always so poor (heavy lead foot, lots of traffic) yet I always get good fuel consumption. Get it checked out!!!

lol how good do u get xenon?

my fd2 only got around 300KM a tank when it was that new i remember.. its still only at 28000KM and getting much better lol... tbh depends highly on how hard u drive it
