its quiet the opposite, high octane fuel ignites from higher temperatures (such as spark plugs etc ) and results in a normal combustion wheras low octane fuel might pre-ignite by low temperates in cylynder hot spots etc and will turn an engine to scrap. you will not get a lower engine temperature if u use RON and u will not get more kms off ur tank. infact i usually get about 90kms more evrytime i fill up with regular unleaded, i've done this a number of times and results are similar with my car everytime.

I get about 450-500kms out of 45L city driving with a vtir civic.

I hv a 95 breeze and it usually gets 500km off a full tank or 450km with air on all the time. Lovely especially with the high rate petrol these days.

^^^ ??? i have a 95 breeze too and i get 400km off a tank.

i use this lil calculator thingy

hope its helpful in some way

I am getting really shit as my O2 sensor is not working properly

I'm very surprised a lot of you are getting less than 400kms per tank! :eek:

Then again, my friend drives a manual RX and he gets 300km per tank. Too much revving I think.

good thread..

which EG civic has the best fuel efficiency?

some are saying the Si can get 600ks.. whilst the breeze (1.3L model) can get around 650..

is that true?

mum just got 520kms out of a full tank with the civic.. its a 1.6L SOHC

690 km when going between 120 - 150 interstate. (to 40 - 41 liters)

530 km when city (39 - 40 liters)
