A figure that is up to date as of this morning is 33,749km on 2321.66 Litres for an all up average of 6.879L/100km. By the way, a return trip from Sydney - 1407kms in 15hours is not what i would call grandma driving....best recorded fuel consumption that trip was 5.8L/100km. No need to drive like grandma.... or grandpa for that matter......lol

i think u misunderstand the term grandma driver

ther are 2 ways of making ur car move

u can do it with ur foot all the way to the floor, ie max load, ie max fuel consumption, my only style of driving unfortunatley

the 2nd way, grandma style, is to apply minimum load, and only lightly press the accelarator, giving the best fuel consumption

i get around 8.6L/100 kmz from my d17 7th gen civic, i do 70% city driving, and some freeway work, all thrashed, as i love to rev the manual, and im impatient, lol

so what your saying is there are only 2 driving styles.........hooning or grandma driving..........

Same as the comment about driving on secondary rural roads is the same as freeway driving......................so i guess that also means driving in country towns is no different to driving in the middle of Sydney.......oh well......we learn something new every day.......LMFAO

EG5 Boosted

Highway drive 500k on one tank..

lol, understand wat u want

in my book, country driving, rural back raods watever u want to call them, is pretty much freeway driving

and that explains ur very good fuel consumption

take ur car thru shitloads of traffic everyday, and u will get pretty shitty fuel consumption

esp since its an auto

anyway, i was just justifying y u have such good fuel consumption compared to me

Slightly off topic but coolest things ever....!
I NEVER fill at Mobil (always Shell) but I was desperate!
Pulled into my local Mobil & they were out of regular unleaded....
SO THEY HAD PREMIUM UNLEADED FOR THE PRICE OF REGULAR!
so I filled up a full tank!
I wonder if it'll get me more mileage! lol-I'll report back!

yes, u should get a bit more

dont expect anything very spectacular though

meh...I got it for the same price so I'm cheering! makes me think 'maybe there is something to shopping around for petrol"lol
I can get nearly up to 500kms (gota love a stocky '98 GLi!) so should be interesting to see what happens.....

I'm getting about 380 from a tank in my car. Expected as much with mods and the only time I really drive it is when having a go.

lol monty u hoon


since i got my SRI its killed my fuel consumption, im not sure wether its bcoz it sounds mad (above 4000rpm) so i give it alot or maybe its just using extra fuel.. but i average around 350-450 and thats just short driving like 20minute trips at most

lol I hear that!!

I'm only getting 370 round town as I can't help but hit boost all day long :p

just got 36L out of 440km :( ouch. gonna push for 30L/400km or 28L/400km (my record :p) but that basically involves like rolling everywhere or hitting 4th gear by 50km lol

just filled up my 2005 7th Gen Sedan
36.93 litres at $1.22 / litre 532 kms = 6.90 litres / 100 kms

i havnt filled my car with full petrol for about 6 months now.
i refill $10 worth of petrol everytime.. and drive about 100kms everytime until petrol lights come on, and then go back to petrol station and do the same thing..
been ongoing like this for about 6 months ..
is that bad for the car?

I got 146km from 3/4s of a tank at WP yesterday.

omg petrol so expensive now but!!! 145.9 >,<

370 Ks for normal driving on my EK1 sedan manual..

My EK4 can hardly go above 400km. unless I have a lot highway driving. Is that normal?

Can anyone let me who got EK4? Cheers!

my em1 gets about 470km for 38 litres
average driving with a little bit of fun every now and then

maybe too much fun for you??

It's a bit low, what mods are you running?

Is it all city driving cause lower gears kills your fuel consumption hard

I just upgraded the clutch to the exedy sport organic clutch.

mainly city driving. would tyres be one of the factor if mainly for city driving?

any idea?

my stats

as you can see im getting great milage, current tank if i continue with the fuel economy can get 683 kms to a 45L tank!!

You my friend have to much time on your hands lol

Nice work though :thumbsup:

lol yea i suppose

as much as i wish to get 683kms to the tank i dont think i will, alot of peak hr driving to do before my next fill

i do have scangauge which helps as it gives instantaneous readouts of your current fuel consumption, besides other things.

www.scangauge.com

this is suburban driving with peak hour traffic. did a fairly soft foot but disappointed

371km = 29L overflowing = 7.8L/100km

probably with less traffic can get low 7s high 6s

what car do you have Steve

my lifetime average is 7.67l/100kms

which includes very heavy peak hr traffic on some trips.

Well after my usual 9.7L/100 (mainly peak hour hoddle st) I went away to halls gap for a week..

Half rural roads (almost like Hwy) and half driving through the mountains (lot of fun, but strain on fuel in D3 all the time).. I still managed 7.09L/100km... BIG Difference in rural areas..

i get around 400ish with a bit of vtakk'ing here and there?

like a granny... around 550-570kms on 35L tank
Avg would be around 470-480kms though.

My lifetime avg would be around 7.4L/100kms

CVT tranny saves me alot, especially when im stuck in traffic on the m5.. gah..

Hmmm...don't EK1's have 45ltr tanks?

yeh i thought so too..?
but for some reason the bowser says its full when i hit 30L. thats with say past 1/4 left in the tank.. maybe 1/8... i even try to fill it up and it overflows.. weird?

Weird lol...leave it half tank next time and fill up. If it's roughly 20-22 liters then it's likely you've got more fuel left than sender is letting on.

94 model CD5 accord
350,000 kms on the clock
city cycle >= 400kms
highway cycle >= 500kms

ive serviced this car every 5000 kms since 100,00 kms :)

fuel consumption from new.....to date 37,546km / 2568.79 liters = 6.842 L/100km average

540km!! new fuel filter ftw!!

i drive from maroubra to wetherill park each day of the week, so traffic is varied

I should really try changing mine sometime! :(

i also use that premium unleaded or ultimate unleaded depending on what the servo has, my vtak feels nicer wiff the 98+ ;)

:\ i only got 320 out of my full tank - 98 vortex

highway driving isn't the best for me. at 100km/h i'm at like 3600 revs

i've read a few pages of this and not one person has mentioned the changing of the O2 sensor... mine died recently (misdiagnosed as ICM issue) and it perfectly explains the shitty mileage... the one part on the car that actually dictates fuel usage in closed-loop / cruising / partial throttle

heres a good read:

^^give the poster some +rep for useful info

Hmm bosch... how about denso!?

Hi Diffuzn,

that's similar to mine. But I used Shell Vpower. anything special with this car?

i've noticed that if i use v power latey i get worse milage.
I've switched to vortex 98 now and getting better milage

Our old ED auto with 275k on the clock still does approx 6.7 litre per 100k around town

my EK1 get about 280-320 for a full tank on the high octane
why is that?????i dont fang it all the time
reakon might need to change fuel filter or the O2 sensors

an ek1 should get at least 400 km minimum.
Follow these step (ranked from the easiest) and see if it improves the consumption....
1. change the driving way. Shift at 2500 rpm. I drive like a nany, but I save my wallet. :P
2. do ecu reset.
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67113
3. change fuel filter.
4. change oxygen sensor.

This should be in sticky i think

ek1 should get 400km even when redlining it all the time.
My advice change fuel filter, service the car and then try different 98 ron fuels.
I know it made a difference for mine.
vpower - 350km per tank
vortex 98 - 450km per tank
BP U - 440km per tank

i've been pouring votrex since. i change back once in a while just the test it out. Vpower seems to have some new blend that i keep burning fast

Same goes for me as well.
VPower - 350km
BP U - 350km
Vortex - 420km

But BP Ultimate produces the most power out of the 3.

okay no worries i will give it a go... should i just replace the fuel filter with genuine parts same with the sensors

it won't hurt

Yes... trust OEM filters, don't go ryco. About sensors, I haven't replaced mine yet :p.
I think denso is Honda's OEM.

okay no worries i will change them how much u reakon it will cost me genuine

Sup yo!

Um it was tuned for full exhaust like 2 years ago!! using just a vafc.... and i have an air filter... but i would have thought by now the ecu would have reverted back to normal fuel air ratios.

How many kms do you get btw?

an EF D15 dual carb Auto.

getting slightly over 400km per full tank, on regular 91 RON.

tat normal? seriously thought it could get abit more.

WTF bullsh1t ALMOST 800K'S ON YOUR 19TH FILL WTF DO U DRIVE IN NUETRAL?!?!?!?!

i get about an average of 550-600 kms in the odometer everytime i fill up, and an average of 32-35 liters of fill - caltex vortex98.

i drive the car daily to work. traffic all the way. i shift at 2 - 2.5 rpm and always downshift when slowing down, barely using the brakes..

:eek::eek::eek: 770km on a tank. Hat off for you.
Is this on your civic 7th gen non hybrid? That's even more impressive for 1.7.
Mind sharing your tips.

Check the traders, search for 'fuel filter' they sell them for $45. Try check the price on your nearest dealer too. You'll be surprise how much the traders save you :p

Yeh i will give them a call today see how much there going for

crap my EU 1.7 only get 450 max pretty much

hi guys

no i am not driving a hybrid! wish i was LOL, its a stock 7th Gen civic! those extra high kms to the tank, i got were on my trip down to melbourne and back, via the Newell highways, the others, well i try and drive outside peak hour, my commute is 21 kms one way to work, 13kms KMs on the M1 into brisbane and the rest surburban streets.

p.s and yes i do drive like a Grandma! lol

I get around 9-10l/100klms with my jdm b16a. Generally only short trips - less than 15klms. Been running caltex vortex 98 for about 6 months now. Mods are short ram intake. Daily driven with the occasional vtakk

I was getting decent ecc. with re stripped out incl. spare wheel and jack. Still better than my Nissan I had, I can't complain

yep.. Honda spare parts here in Penrith charge $65.. $45 is a bargain

ek4 32litre =400km

i got my fuel filter $43 genuine honda part

tips for fuel economy

slow acceleration, not above 2500 rpms
tyres inflated to 40 psi
coasting to traffic lights, i.e take your foot off the accelerator when you see a red light in the distance, time the lights, (this is the one i love the best) all the others speed by and are stuck at the lights by the time I arrive there it changes green and I just cruise through,

Drive like you do not have brakes, use of brakes is a waste of all that energy your car produced (and petrol to produce that forward momentum), coast to a stop light or a intersection,

Drive below the speed limit (80-90 in a 100km zone)
Tailgaters, my solution is to test their brakes, if they are tailgating you, give them the test brake message, slam on your brakes for a second, they soon get the message.

By using all these techniques your drive will be a lot more stressfree and the bonus is you will never get pinged by a speed camera for speeding, just think that $100 speeding ticket is so many litres of fuel,

by driving like a maniac you probably only save, the most 5 mins, because most times ive caught up to the speedster at the next lights, so take it easy! do some good for your hip pocket (save fuel) and the environment!

if we all can save even 1 litre of fuel by using these techniques and that accures over 1 million cars thats a million litre of fuel saved and not burnt each week!

Touchwood for the 16 years ive been driving ive never got a speeding ticket.

we got the same techniques clayton. i love it when i'm doing 110 then have to stop without touching the brakes at all.. i only drive like a maniac if i'm stressed or having a bad day. lol

btw i filled up with full tank yesterday, the odometer read at 420 kms and i only have to top up 24 liters to bring it back to full.. :thumbsup:

outatime, thats really good fuel economy, better than mine, you got 5.70/l for the tank! thats extremely good!

yeah it's amazing considering my car is modded with exhaust, headers, and cai

i always fill up the tank when the needle is 3/4 through.. they said it's bad to drain the fuel tank because it's gonna suck some dirt from the tank's floor..

my car cant make 420 no chance best it has done is 320 on vortex ionly got cai thats it......

lol Frankie,
outatime, yeah i dont wait till the Low Fuel light comes on, i normally refuel in the high 400's low 500's kms, dont want to go all the way down to 1 litre in the tank, LOL

spewin changin the fuel filter reackon that will make a difference

lol

i reckon by those numbers ull need to do more

get us a proper L/100kms number please

man dont know how to do that

Shouldnt the light come on when there is 5L left in the tank?
