510km with aircon on most of the time, vpower, and 2 highway trips. fuel light went on twice but ddnt stay on assuming 5litres left in the tank. ITR adm
I'm starting to experiment as to what I can get the most out of .. so far Woolworths Caltex Unleaded E10: 410KM (Light was on for a bit, didn't want to push my luck). Next will be trying Shell V-Power to see how far I can get, everyone at work loves the stuff. (2003 DC5)
I have a 2005 Type-S and I'm sitting at only 3000k at 130kmh :) I don't know what it is in KMH but I get around 43miles to the gallon. According to the conversion thats about 69khm per gallon?
fuel light started to flicker on 15km's before the pic.
Pretty much half & half. City/Hwy

Sadly, the economy is eclipsed by my '85 8valve 2.7 litre straight-six E30 BMW which pulls 7.3 litres/100km. Even when I moved to a non-eco head and Fi the BMW still beats the Honda on a highway trip with only 16 bhp less.
Still, fuel economy on both cars is more than acceptable and means that I can sneer at Prius drivers :D
Honda Integra 2003 DC5 with premium unleaded @ Caltex/Woolies will get me 420KM if the tank is full (same with Shell V-Power) - light comes on around 400-405 KM I think, read somewhere once the light comes on you have ~20KM to go till you run out, not sure how true that is though.
I get just a bit over 350 per tank, and I have a DC2.. :/
I tried resetting my ECU as suggested somewhere and am currently using that tank but it looks like i'm heading the same way. I'm using the 95 stuff at Shell.
Shell petrol, that's your problem
V-Power is Shell petrol .. gets me the same distance as non Shell U95
Vpower in my car uses 1-1.5 Litres per 100 more then BP ultimate

In my experience it wasn't, giv bp ultimate a go
Thanks mate, will give it a go.Quote:

450-470km a full tank
Full 2.5inch exhaust, high flow (100cell), intake
400-410km
38-40 tires psi
yeah, that's a big factor, the tire pressures.
not many ppl realise this, if you're running 15" then keep it 32-34psi ish
but if you got 16's or above, 36 - 38 wouldn't hurt and will help fuel consumption greatly.
Everyone should get @ least above 400km's before the light comes on, even if you vtec a lot of the time.
You know petrol prices MUST be getting high when supposed car enthusiasts talk about petrol economy in their omg race cars...
Well it has been a while since I checked tyre pressure.. Maybe I will try that as well as using BP for a change.
I'm running on 17" wheels so I'll make sure they're 38-40psi.
Not sure what you guys are doing wrong. I get an easy 500-550km out of tank in my car, with mixed driving. '00 DC2R with i/h
fkd up cars, bad maintenance, tire pressures, too much vtak,Quote:

Just realised my tires are filled with nitrogen so they're fine.
But I have an small engine leak to deal with which may e the culprit..

Yep so if dc2r-0636 extrapolated those figures to kms after the full 50L which goes into a dc2r fuel tank, he would often be getting 500+km as well.
I never run my tank down very low, get a bit worried about picking up crap at the bottom of the tank. Typical scenario for me would be after 4xxkm of mixed driving, would go to the servo based on the guage (no fuel light) and 35-40L would go in. So a full (50L) tank would have got me 500+, 'easy'
ok, that sounds familiar :)Quote:

I can go 500 with combined city/hwy.Quote:

What I don't get is how petrol light flashed 12 times??? Doesn't it just come on and stay on when your low?
There's much you dont get my dear fellow,like the meaning of immaculateQuote:

Even in my stock EG ill only get around 400 max (350 light) so it wasn't just the teg that was fukd.
maybe too much vtak?Quote:

nah i think just the roads i take in peak hour. Nearly an hour to go 10km is preeeeeee badass
and the crx fuel tank is only 45 ltr.
Probably odometer is out.Wrong rolling diameter

drive more and the fuel level will get lower, making the light, light up more stable.
up and down hill roads will make this very evident.
special ppl.
Turn right to make the fuel gauge go down
Turn left to make fuel gauge show more
True story

this is for a KA9 legend.

i used to get an average 450-500 on my DC2R...for some odd reason its dropped to 380-400kms now ?? =/ any ideas what could have caused this ??
^vtec got the beter of you
ok I actually checked my car and I squuezes 405 from it. That's a new record! I think resetting the ECU gained me about 50 extra km...
Now just filled 40L of BP Ultimate and we'll see how we go...

Get about 500km before the fuel light comes on, from Western Sydney Suburbs to the City daily. Lots of stop start driving.
Car: dc2r - I/H/E with Shell V-power 98RON
has it been tuned?Quote:

Around the 200km mark so far and the tank is just under half way with BP ultimate.. So far no difference than the 95 I use... but then again I may have been revving quite high every now and then.. Something about seeing a full tank makes me go wild! haha
Light comes on at 400km mark. DC2R, I/H/E. BP Ultimate. Few redline shifts. 39psi tyres, 80,000km.
Personal best was with my civic (B18c2 ,I/H/E). 480Km, not hitting VTEC once.
All city driving.
Not sure how people manage 550+km....
