about 420kms/ 40L with SHELL V-Power. B16a EK4
Well thats a bit excessive to say air con takes out 170km's per tank, it might realistically be 50-100kms. It really depends on your driving style, yes its true that air con puts more strain on your engine while your driving so my suggestion is only turn your air con on after the car has been driving for bout a minute, turn it off when ur going up a massive hill, turn it off when your car has reached a nice temperature you could settle for 10 mins without constant air con and just let the outside air flow through cuz that air will be cold for a little while.Quote:

about 33L = 400km occasional thrashing. premium unleaded, dont use my aircon much; but always blast stereo/subs... this would be suburban/city driving.
d16 engine, EK civic. only mod is catback exhaust (don't see how that'd effect petrol consumption :p)
still about 650 - 750 on 40l going around 120 - 140 km/h. about 400 - 450 per 45l going 200+ km/h. about 500 - 550 on 40l going aroung 160 km/h. Oh, all with A/C ... about the same on 15" and 16" wheels.
going 200+ km/hr??? are you doing mostly highway driving? our speed limit wont even let us go above 100km/hr on most roads...
She is in Europe - on sections of the autobahn im sure.Quote:

Hey I get just on 500kms to a tank in my CRX (98 Premium fuel)
With 17x7.5 Rims (Its Great!!)
i get around 800km outta my vei but its all stock at the moment
well, assuming that my tank is empty when its at the red zone, i think i can clock up 550km per 40L tank on E10 95 octane ethanol based petrol you can get from united petrol stations.
altho most people are against the use of ethanol, its perfectly fine to use it so long as you dont leave a full tank in there for a month (leave it that long and the ethanol would oxidise to ethanoic acid), that and my motor is a d15b412 dual carby, so whilst the stock intake system is rather cruddy with sucking in air, i make up for that with the oxygen present in ethanol. surprisingly, works better than bp ultimate for me. hopefully i can get better economy once i run the new piston rings and head in.
i get around 800 out of my vei eg
is it true if u use more expensive premium petrol.. u can go more kms?
its probably better just to say how many km per L?
like i get 100kms from 8.5L of petrol
cause not everyone drives their car till the light lights up
When i first bought my car i was getting about 400 a tank...
I reset the ECU and i was only getting at best 300...
I rest my ECU the other day and im hoping i get back to 400.
How do i check if i'm running to rich? and or how do i change it?
wats ECU ?
I'm telling you from personal experience, yes running premium allows your car to run more efficiently therefore saving you a bit of fuel in the long run, how much would depend on your driving style.Quote:

I've been running my car on Shell optimax for most of its lifetime and whenever i feel stingy or when i'm pov, I use regular and i notice that i'm not getting the same KM's as I would when I was on premium.
Hope that helps ya.
if you wanna get fidgety with the petrol, theres also an optimal amount of ethanol to be had in your tank for the best efficiency. something less than 10%. reason for this is because the structure of ethanol also contains oxygen which can improve combustion. the more ethanol that combusts, the more energy is transferred to octane, which can improve combustion overall. but dont run ethanol unless honda says your car can take it (or fork out a shiteload as it unclogs your fuel lines and moves the crap to clog up somewhere else). shop around for premium unleaded, some people prefer bp, others prefer shell, etc.
oh and ECU is the electronic control unit? in an efi vehicle, it controls how much air/fuel mixture is pumped per cycle, which in turn can affect how efficiently your vehicle runs. usually people tend to tune their ecu to run their motor lean for a bit more power and a bit less fuel useage. its enough to make a 400rwkw supra do 7L/100km
I have a Civic GLI and im getting around max 300 as well and my tanks not leakin. my bf said its the way i drive??? that might be the problem..Quote:

even with a heavy foot im sure u can get mroe then 300. lol i get more then 300 with a b16 and quite a lot of vtec =p lol
my crx with a ZC(D16) does about 480-490..thats like 38L of fuel and thats with a heavy foot as well
Yeah.. I can't help it. My cars too slow :(Quote:

my mrs Civic Sport about 400-450 atm, just had first service + she is a lead foot!
Her brothers CTR gets 500-600 around town depending on driving!
Never had the low fuel light come on under 600km per tank and could easily better that figure any time.
Do you do alot of fwy driving then? I have a 06 VTi and struggle to achieve 400 km around town befreo the light comes on.Quote:

I have a friend who owns a civic hybrid and he tells me he gets about 700kms a tank. Your figures are not far from his ecomomy figures.
my bitch lights come on usually at 430km
and i take it up to around 530km until i refill again..
and thats a EK1

no freeway driving...about 60% rural back roads & 40% town. over 23,000 kms my average fuel consumption is exactly 7.048 liters per 100km
Been playing around with BP Ultimate. and got 9km/100l.
when I went back to supermarket caltex 91, the car felt sluggish and need a little more stick returning 9.54km/100l.
I would like to share with everyone my fuel consumption figures for the last 9 weeks. All of this on standard unleaded fuel from my local woolworths station. I dont believe i nurse the car, mostly the cruise control is set 3 or 4 kph above whatever the limit is. Once a week the car is redlined in 1st & 2nd to give it a good run.
Distance travelled liters used consumption
640km 44.5 lts 6.67 L/100km
try again with the next 8 weeks
549km....37.04 lts......6.75 L/100km
553km....37.62 lts......6.80 L/100km
517km....35.62 lts......6.89 L/100km
496km....34.28 lts......6.51 L/100km
485km....33.33 lts......6.87 L/100km
524km....36.59 lts......6.98 L/100km
444km....29.62 lts......6.67 L/100km
439km....29.30 lts......6.67 L/100km
Remarkable figures i think and very consistent.
Delsol - Around City 350ks before B20B Conversion, and after about 300ks/tank.
Low in either case.
been avoiding traffic (start uni 10am) and getting 25L for 400km =] very happy
That = 5 lts/100km.......U must have the Hybrid...or something else even..lolQuote:

Honda CRX ED9. 450km/tank (35Lt)
I did have a tank last week - 225km. I've pumped toa full take of 35Lt (Although My Docket said more) I'm did FILL my tank till the nozzle wouldnt let me fill more. LOL
'06 Civic Sports. I'm averaging 460k's per tank but my best has been 665k's (probably could have gone another five or so, but I'm too far from a reasonably priced servo).
... is the new civic really that good on fuel??? and my breeze apparently has a 35lt fuel tank but I got 43lt the last time I filled up full.
In my 95 civic breeze that has 220000 kms on it i get 450-600 kms out of a tank and thats a carbie engine as well.
about 600 km on my Honda civic ek cxi
how'd u manage 665k's.... mainly highway driving i presume? n a few long trips as apposed to lots of short ones...?Quote:

thats 6.25L lol, civic is rated too do about 7L/100km so i dont see how its far off i squeezed 0.75L per 100KM.Quote:

i aint lying, i am telling you now it was about 405km and like 25.xxL refilled, i rounded it off too 400km/25L didnt think it'd matter. i refilled yesterday and i did nearly 10L/100km because i have had the shits lately and been absoloutley flooring my car, as well as carrying a full load (5 ppl) too gym and back 5 times a week
Geelong to Melbourne trips daily. Thanks to the times I work I never encounter any peak hour traffic or the like, so no stop starting. I was mistaken too, it would seem. I'm averaging 510-520k's.Quote:

i get roughly around 510 - 550 out of about 37L's -> 38L's tank. i used to get up to and over the 600 km mark but my car has been under water in the newcastle floods and we are still using the original, flood damaged sensors.
when a few hills runs are done this drops down to about 450km.
best L/100km ive had was 5.9L/100km that was a double demrit weekend so i was driving VERY VERY softly. and not loading the car up to much. 4th gear 60km/h everywhere.
with a few changes in the sensors and ignition, i hope to get back up to around the 600km a tank.
oh and my fuel light doesnt work...hmmmm
24,268kms, how long have you had the car?Quote:

i can go 450+kms for a full tank of 40L 98 RON fuel. the car is 92 civic with B16A conversion.
i get around 400-450 from 40 ltre tank with air filter and cannon
250kms a tank atm. lol.
ATM 300kms for 30Ltrs in my current 1.5 ltr non-honda car. Last run was just over 260kms for 30Ltrs... not sure why.
Still waiting for my new civic to come :(
just refilled and did 400km (i always refill religiously at this km) and i got about 28L :(. I think i am forcing 5th gear too much and car has too work harder and burn more fuel, i swear i was way more using 4th gear before.
How are you guys getting so much millage? :confused:
I just calculated mine, and I only get just over 400km's for one full tank, I think 45L. And I use Premium 98 octane too :(.
if you fill up when your fuel light comes on you still only need to put in about 38 - 40 litres of fuel (if you have a 45 litre tank)
if you're getting 400 - 450 k's out of that much fuel your doin good.
if i try hard enough i can get 550 from 40 litres in my 2001 barina lol
Yeah, I took that into account in my calculation.Quote:

DC2's are supposed to have 45l tanks. Last week i managed to get 47.8l into my tank.
LOL. i must have been really low.
I am off to Sydney shortly, so i will be able to inform everyone how far the current model civic 1.8 ltr Auto can go on 1 tank of fuel as well as the best, worst and everage fuel consumption. As the round trip will be between 3,500 and 4,000 km i will be able to gauge very accurate figures and to be honest i will be disappointed it the average is over 6L/100km.
I have just completed a return trip to sydney, a total distance of 3,084km in 7 days. Overall the fuel consumption was very impressive and my findings tell me the VTEC system works exactly as it is described (to my understanding of it). The bottom line is fuel consumption is very much controlled by the speed driven at. My understanding of the IVTEC system on the R18A engine is that it is most efficient in the 90 to 110 KPH range & i found this to be completely accurate. My findings were this.....eg; with the majority of cruising @ 108KPH on cruise control i returned a figure of 6.28L/100km, however if you increase that to 118 KPH, again on cruise control for extended periods the average fuel consumption increases to 6.55L/100KM. But the real eye opener for me was having the wife drive for a period of time (on P plates), therefore the Cruise control set @ 101KPH, followed by 400kms of night driving on Kangaroo infested roads where i had the cruise control set @ 90kph (I did not want to put a roo through the radiator so if u want to call it grandpa driving i will accept that) I got my best consumption figures for the trip......577km / 33.45L
and that equates to 5.8L/100km. One other thing i would like to mention is that from Maitland to Campbelltown, 2 days of city driving and back to Maitland i averaged 7.19L/100km, exactly as advertised for the VTI. Overall figures for the trip....3,084km / 199.79L = 6.48L/100km...............................
Please note that these figures could never be expected in the Civic sport with the 2.0 liter engine........A range of 750km per tank in very possible on a long trip, but 700 is more realistic leaving a little in reserve
i get minimum 450km max.530km on a modified b18c
i got the breeze 1.3 hatch, i can do 420 max with revv like a nut, and 500+ for driving like a granny.Quote:

i got 502km
i nearly emptied the thing

I average 550km's in my 03 Civic Vi...
actually they have 50 litre tanksQuote:

^ u know. especially for older cars. the fuel pointer goes down pretty fast after it passes the half tank mark.
for example from a full tank, u may be able to get 250+kms until the pointer hits the middle, but another 100kms ur pointer might be pointing at empty already.
tats wat i find in general.
Using Mobil 2000 (91 RON) I get around 640kms from a full tank - 07 VTi L auto.
Using Mobil 8000 (98 RON) I get 660kms.
Driving conditions were practically the same, so the extra cost for premium unleaded wasn't worth it in terms of fuel efficiency. The drive was better though!!
The engine is still being run in so the fuel economy figures can only get better.
Wasn't Happy today at All, Drove from Ballarat back to Hamilton (179km or so)
Filled up on Reg Unleaded at BP. Had around 4/5th's of a Tank when i left by the time i got home and drove around for a bit latter on, im now down to 1/4 of a tank and iv only done around 220km's...
... Think i might need to check some things, Might give it a run on some premium Unleaded, when im nilly out.
i would not even consider the difference in fuel gave u the extra 20km. More than likelythe tank was filled to a slightly different level. If ur serious about checking fuel consumption average it out over at least 5 tank fulls, filling at the same pump when possibleQuote:

I got up to 100 more kms from a full tank at times.
My EJ8 does around 600km to a fuel tank running BP98 Ultimate
