MY FD ONLY TAKES ME 450km FULL TANK AND ITS BRAND NEW

denot: I can get 7.22 in the country, thats not too hard.. Considering the Honda claimed combined is 7.3L then his rural figures are believable..

Aaronng: I will try and take notice of that on my next tank and post back..

hey frost, does this means that if u change the OEM rims back you will get 580kms? :p jkz jkz...

on the topic, mine is constantly doing 10.8 to 11.5L/100kms at the moment a lot of city driving (stop start so many time) and 10-20% hwy (only on every weekend from eastern dist - harbour tunnel - Gore hill Fwy)

You should be able to get much better than the ADR 7.3L/100km. To compare, the Euro is rated for 9.4L/100km, and I get 10.5L/100km in the city (maybe 10-20% of motorway driving) and 7.0L/100km when doing pure highway at 110km/h.

your engine is still new, let it run in first. after 10,000kms the fuel consumption will be better.

I noticed after 3000km it showed good results

Well my 7.22L on the HWY can't be due to my driving style, I drove up to 110Kmh (116kmh on my speedo) and set cruze control. CC was on from outskirts of Melbourne all the way up the Hume past Albury into NSW (at which point you do have to slow done to 50kmh a few times (drives you crazy) for the towns, but I just slow down then once through click Restore..

Yup, see if it improves after your first 6 month service.

Sorry everyone, instead of writing 10000km I wrote 1000km leaving out the extra zero.. lolz.. I'm going to try to do 100km and then fill up..and see how many litres it used.
thanks for that idea.. =)

yeah our vti seems to chew through a bit of fuel too, but i haven't checked the numbers yet, lol

well this could be irrelavant but i recently got a new alignment ( was toe'ing at 17..LOL )

after that i jumped from 350 to 420 in my last tank. and i only fill up 33 litres with quiet a few spirited driving here n there.i hope i am not running lean?! car is modded with internals

^^ that reminds me, what tyre pressures are you guys running? I use 34-36psi.

~34/35psi, personally.
