8th Gen Civic - Concerns on fuel economy

Sorry to chime in so late, but here are the specs on my Civic Si -

Tank capacity - 50L
Average KMS - 360km per tank
Price of fuel - $1.50/L (Premium 94 Octane)
Driving habits - aggressive
City/Hwy - 100% / 0%
Engine mods - None (pure stock intake, exhaust)

You guys don't feel so bad now, huh? If I wanted economy, I would have opted for the Hybrid... but 197hp is way more fun! :p

Is there no Hold button either? I find that strange... that a festiva auto box would have it yet a nice new 5 speed auto box for a civic doesn't.

I've seen it on one other - but it was called "Power" instead of hold... and its was on the lever of the auto as well... it may have been my dads 05 SS commodore. And yes a little light comes on the dash indicating its on.

Either way I really like it, gives me alot more control over the gears. Should have gotten my manual license when I first did it. Oh well.

Lol... maybe thats why its a trioS - I never worked out the differeance between a festiva trio and festiva trioS.

fords and holdens, as well as some other vehicles had a so called power button, all it done was change the shift points in the transmission. You did not gain any power from this so called power button.

ah I remember now I've seen the "power" button on my uncle's ford...

I don't use it to gain power...I use to to force me down a gear so my revs are higher, be it for engine breaking (lol...ironic.. braking?) or general hooning in the festiva lol.

I use it daily when going down a hill where I have to stop at the bottom of etc.

Either way I find it nifty - use it or not, thats your choice, but having the choice is nice as opposed to not having it at all.
