i worked out at the time that the amount of fuel filled and 528km was 8.1lt per 100km so there is still a way to go to reach hondas claims.
CIVIC 06
3167km
98 ultimate BP,
41.06L
456km
that's because i thrash it nearly every 2nd day.
got an 06 civic sport auto
the FC in my car is quite bad for some reason, here's my averages with different fuels:
Burmah 91: 9.6L/100km
Burmah 95: 9.0L/100km
Mobil 91: 10.1L/100km
i keep my tyre pressure up and don't use the aircon much at all (since it's winter and the heater works fine without it.) don't know why i can't get near the quoted 8.0L/100km figure.. best i've gotten is 8.7 using burmah 95...
must be coz of all that dynamat stuff you got...made it heavier...lol. just kidding :pQuote:

What are your fuel consumption numbers? VTi(L) or Sport? Manual or auto?Quote:

i don't think that your car being new will limit you getting a complety full tank? :confused:
by this do you mean that the fuel pump clicks off and won't let you fill up past 3/4?Quote:

really pissed me off, the first time i went to fill up my 06 i thought i just kept getting bad pumps, so ended up going to 3 diff service stations in the space of 15 minutes until i figured it out... and btw some service stations u'll find u can just fill up normally without doing anything special
that shouldnt happenQuote:

So once you fill it til it stops, the fuel gauge shows 3/4 full? It could be that the fuel filler hole is slightly smaller than other cars, so there is pressure detected by the filler nozzle handle and it stops the fill. I usually press it once more after it has stopped on its own.Quote:
