When the light comes on.. it means that you have less than 6.5L left. I usually get around 40km more when the light comes on...

I have heard runing your tank dry is not good for the injectors....can any boffins confirm this?

usually when the light goes on.. i drive for extra 20-30kms !! ahhaha.. first time i got really nervous but after then i felt safe knowing that even when light comes up, theres still 5-7L left in the tank!

my car is an ek civic vtir, the most i've gotten out of the tank was about 450km.. i got 430 - 450 km a coupla tanks in a row.. but now my economy has died in the ass and its back to 380ish... i think my filters etc are dirty or something :(

Not a boffin but yeah..... if there is shit at the bottom of the tank than it can screw up fuel lines.... it *shouldn't* make its way into the engine cause of fuel filter though having crap in your fuel lines I would imagine could hurt performance and prove costly to fix.......... fuel lines are quite pricey for what they are.

I just put in Redline's Si 1 injector cleaner. I find i am getting better fuel economy. Will let you guys know how this turns out in the next tank full. Car feels real smooth though.

Since we are on the fuel economy topic, anyone know how fuel catalysts work? Or how good are they?

also not a good idea to get air into your fuel lines, this most probably will lean your motor out too and bang rebuild, all because u were trying to be a tight ass and waiting for Tuesday to fill up. :lol:

also found if u use normal unleaded u get less mileage, so the price for PULP balances out as u get more kms out of the tank.

Yeah I run nothing but 98 RON in my EG Vti hatch...i think I am getting about 550-600 km per tank...but I never let her get below about 1/4 tank...so that is an approximation based on the fact I have about 300km on my trip meter when just below half full...and I DO tec a bit.... :D 8)

that actually sounds right for an Auto civic, i got a manual GLi, and get about 400-450km with a bit of mixed driving, so 350-400km for an auto is about spot on. Nothing to worry about.

On topic: EK gli sedan get about 380-450km for a tank.
