I do about 350 - 370 kms while driving around suburban areas in my ek4. I feel that's a bit less. What do you guys think?
im getting the same jay_freaker.
but only because the fuel tank got replaced with a smaller one as it cracked. tho i don't know how much smaller it is.
whats the standard size fuel tank for ek4s in litres? 40L? 45L? 50L?
I believe it is 45L.
but yeah, 350-370km's does seem a bit less. How did you calculate that?
ek4 sam as ek1 45lt as far ads i know only the ek9 has a 50lt tank so they say
my tank is 45 but good luck fitting that in there. 43 is what it take to go from e to being able to see it full.

i get about 370KMs aswell, from a say, 45L pour..
though i have a h22z .... rofl, if u have a civic and ur getting 370Kms from 40L, something wrong there...
i don't think most of you guys have a clue what your talking about and just throwing numbers out. Here's how you should be checking.
1) fill up car to full, reset the milage tacho
2) drive car normally until empty or close to empty, however you drive
3) fill up to full and check the actual ltrs exactly & check the milage reading. (usually you reset it again so you can keep monitoring)
4) apply the following formula
Total KM/100= X
Total Fuel/X= Y (this will give you the total ltres per 100km)
If you don't do the above, don't even bother posting your kms cos it will be virtually useless, and a waste of the thread.
You should repeat the process as you will get different readings depending on driving style, fuel etc...... Its a good way of keeping an eye on your car for any problems.
P.S anything like 8ltr per 100km is pretty good, anything below is excellent.
Anything great than 10ltr per 100km isn't so crash hot if your driving normally & most likely should be serviced and looked at.
just my 5c
limbos right
thats what i do everytime i fill up.
i usually get around 430kms on 33L which is around and avg of 7.7L/100km. thats on normal unleaded.
on premium/bp ultimate i get around 7L/100km. (470kms on 33L)
this is also mostly peak hour driving in stop go traffic & also running fatter tyres (205 instead of recommended stock size of 175)
just installed new exhaust.. well see how that affects it my consumption
oh k.. ill try that 2morrow when i fill up.
thanks for the tip limbo.
