I keep a spread sheet on fuel consumption & servicing on my cars:-
2006 FD1 Auto - 59848kms - 4059.03 lts - average = 6.78L/100, best recorded was 5.8
2008 Euro Auto - 25058kms - 1773.24 lts - average = 7.08L/100, best recorded so far is 6.03
spread sheets are available to anyone.
To prove my point here are some pictures i took on a recent trip in my 08 Euro. Bear in mind the Euro is a much bigger, heavier car, tank capacity is 65 Litres in comparison with the FD1/2 which has a capacity of 50 litres. So an extra 15 litres, yet it has a range of over 1000km on the highway.

lol...450KM out of a 50L tank and you are still complaining? I was lucky to get 400KM out of a 50L when I had my Evo and it was brand new too.
^yeh but we r talking about NA, no-performance civics here, and a factory spec of 6.9L/100km - that only one person can get :S
Never listen to what the manufacturer claims, I rekon they must have done the fuel consumption test on a down hill in neutral. Mistubishi claims a fuel consumption of 11L/100KM for a Evo 9, yet I dont think anyone on the planet has got even close to that figure.Quote:

is your car the auto or manual ? (cus manual consumes less fuel compared to auto)
and if your car is manual how do you normally drive? do you push your car often (5-6k rev)? but anyway if you get time to go on a road trip via a free way see how far your car takes you on a full tank :D
but yeah im quite sure the Honda people test their cars in circuits and with the Honda fuels, lubes, oils and tires :D so cant say they are completely lying to you about the fuel consumptions of their cars.
btw I'm a bit of a FOTB sorry for any typos and if any thing which don't make sense.
i proved that statement wrong in my above postQuote:

My DC2R last time i recorded was about 480-490km before filling up. And the petrol indicator light was flashing crazy. So I guess that seems reasonable. But i remember when my parents first got there car, the car drank petrol like an asian with a slab of VB.
lolololol asian with a slab of VB
my cars done 10,000 km's and there will be no bars when my car has done 350kms, refilling at station shows 42km. City driving and aircon on the odd occasion ( not very frequent ); could there be something wron gwith my O2 sensor? do honda check this for me for free? its 09 civic vti , city driving, generally have to fill up every single week
well if city driving all the time thats abt rite i guess....Quote:
