Base 06 is good because you still have the trip computer. Just the base rims are ugly.

Yes, but not viable. Too expensive.Quote:

Sounds like you are sold on a base anyway mate. I seen them for low as $14k here in Perth.
HID kit and cut a hole in the roof FTW! :p
hahah yeh i got a hacksaw somewhere in the garage i think :P
no no i promised myself no more DIY jobs when buying a new car!
I would go looking for another 06 model with lower mileage... wonder where _civic_ 06 went??
just curious. how many ks from one tank and average cost of a tank?
cheers
tank is 60L if i remember correctly.
i get around 10L/100km driving 'normally' - as in not like a super-grandma. This is with 98RON. you can get better with grandma driving.
so if you fill up when before or when the light comes on (50-55L or thereabouts) and you're buying 98RON (about $1.30-1.35/L) it'd be around $70 to fill up? obviously, cheaper with 95RON, but at the cost of slightly reduced L/100km. (the 95RON still comes out financially more economical)
If you drive gently, you can do syd-melb on one tank
I was getting down to around 6.6l/100kms on PURE highway, as in i pumped petrol that was on a highway, so i think it's possible, that was without air conditioning cos the day wasn't too hot, i think once you put air conditioning on it'll hit about 7l/100kms.Quote:

That is a CU2 Auto with a/c on for at least 80% of the trip. The true reading on that tank was 6.23 filling up at 990kms. The trip computer is not 100% accurate.
The total trip distance was 3,075kms, total fuel used was 198.41 litres for an average of 6.45. This included some commuting through Sydney & Newcastle.
To take it to the next level, since owning the car I have done 26,735kms last time I filled up, using a total of 1894.07 litres for an all up average of 7.085L/100km.
