How many KMs you guys getting outta full tank?

i get close 2 400km on my eg... something wrong with it...

98 ultimate at bp....get alomost 400ks out of it....ek4 wwiv usual air itnake and exhaust mods...

I get up to 640km's running city/highway on my 50L 05 Vi Hatch. Less when I feel like engaging in vtec thrillride.

I notice you get more mileage running on better quality fuel. So try to go to a servo who gets their fuel replenished regularly and I noticed also running on 98 Optimax/Vpower gives you good econ, personally i think it adds up to getting regular but with more power!

Also got a 2" catback and drop in k&n panel filter and after putting them in i realise my fuel efficiency has increased purely because the fact the car requires less effort to drive with less backpressure. It also makes it easier to decrease fuel efficiency bcuz with a loud exhaust and more accel responsiveness who wouldnt want to push their car? :P So its like a double edge sword.

Don't do that, it quickly messes up your fuel pump. It's exactly what i did with my accord 93 when I had it. Filled up really late for a few times. And one day when i was drivin in the city. Car started chugging... chugging.... stall.. wtf. Cudnt start it up again bcuz fuel pump failed. Wouldnt suck fuel up even if my fuel tank was full cuz long term wear burnt it out.

I learnt my lesson and now as soon as the fuel light pops up I'd try to look for the nearest servo. And usually when ur lights up u got like 7/8 L's left.

how the hell are ppl gettin so many kmz???

omg...

LOLL **** my car is effiecent then haha i get over 500kz from a full tank (eg with b18c)

i get about 450+ for daily driving.. auto ek1 :p

it pays to service the car with not only an oil filter and new oil but every say 20000kms put some new plugs in and perhaps clean the throttle body (youd be surprised how much crap is in there) and replace the O2 sensor every 60-80000kms. Plugs and O2 sensor make a hell of a difference in fuel consumption.

no point saying how much u get in a tank, ppl have diff tanks and fill up differently. better off writing L/100km.

i can only get almost 400km a tank but i can only fill up 35litres max

yeah its about 6.9L/100km if i drove econ.. 7.3L/100 if i vtec real often :P

are o2 sensors expensive...???
