ut of point ?
Do u not consider rego/ insurance to be a running cost ? It costs your more per month than fuel does.
Other than that Type R doesn't really cost anymore to run than a civic or regular integra. unless you blow the motor.

Nevertheless, you are right.. It does costs more money..

Thanks for your feedback.

on top of that the things you would LIKE to do.. which includes washing teh car... buying the product.s. modifying etc etc. it all comes as a cost and comes under the 'running' of a car..
VTECACCORD has made a point.. jus because everyone is talkin about petrol cost doesnt mean the things that he has said is out of point.. as a threadstater u wernt specific in wat u wanted.. ie milage from a fuel tank.. vtecaccord has gone 1 step more and added insurance premiums etc etc..
FUEL CONSUMPTION is all dependent on how u drive. theres no point putting how much u get out of the 35L or so from a DC2R tank.. its better to put xL/100km as then u can compare to each other better.. as i said before i can get upto 500km/40L which is about 8L/100km , but usually i get 9-10L/100km.. haha (around 400-450km/tank)
petrol isnt the only cost in running a car.. unless u got ur parents payin for insurance etc.. some of us pay for everything to do wit the car.. n wen u really think about it . cars really suck the life outta the wallet..
but i love my car.. so i dont care hahaha
cheers
gary
Well said.. :thumbsup:
And yes, I am the tread starter. I started with talks on fuel.
Doesnt take much more than a fish to figure out where the tread is going.
But thanks for the feedback :thumbsup:
I will keep in mind to post with more details in future.. :cool:
tops i get 410 k's. Im usually around the 380-390 mark each week. Ive got a bad lead foot, lol
10L per 100km
combination driving.
NRMA takes $1600 every year to protect her.
Update - Just had my car fixed.
A universal 02 Sensor was fitted at a much reduced cost (Belive it was a Ford Falcon actually) and now I get 500kms with a few vtecs here and there and perhaps a spirited run.. I am positive if all highway driving I could pip 600-650 :)
STOKED :)
Also had all valve clearances re-adjusted (all were way out) and it made a big difference to noise, top end power and seems to have also made the engine more responsive.
how true is this? can someone please verify. :DQuote:
