Just curious as I only get roughly 300km from my EG Breeze!
420km out of 35L on average on my CRX, if i don't boost that much.
best iv done is 540 on 35L when going driving up / back from Sydney.
Regards James
300?? that is shit, u tank is leaking
driving sanely i can get 600+ per tank
but norma driving/revving etc 500+
in my eg5 Si, stock ;)
Shit, I was thinking why it is so less. I don't see any leaks? Anything else I shuold be checking out?!!?
i get roughly 400 per 35L. thats weird that you dont get so much!
I get roughly 400 in the city, 500 on the open road.

check fuel rail etc, you car is prolly running way to rich!!
the solution:
d16a8 :D
hahaha spoken like a true 'd-soldier'. he does a point though. you might have a leak you havent seen or running rich
on my old d15b4 i got roughly 400k's to 40ltrs. When hoonin around this would decrease to at 250k's per 40ltrs.
I get about 450 kms average from 40L....when no fanging..probably about up to 600kms...when tekin heaps I reckon down to about 350 kms per 40L
i get 300-350 out of 37-40l's of permium. sometimes 400 if im lucky and not driving as hard as i do normaly. On my way to work i have a 300m vertical climb. Im sure my car is running a little rich tho. I only get 500km's with 100% highway driving. I do have 300-400kg;s in the boot though.
I've once got 680kms out of my tank.
Since its been modified, I can only get about 400 out of a tank
yeah i'm talking to Benjamin abuot his Si engine and i'm quite interested.
but theres no gurantee yet so i'd like to get this figured as it'll work out to pay for itself lol
so far..my highest is 417...but thats giving it once in awhuile
like most i get about 450km to 35L, eg gli
so i'm not the only one running rich hey
i'd reach 350km and thats if i drive it until the tank is almost empty i'd say
but 600 sure sounds better!
I get about 490km from 40L around the city, with the occasional usage of VTEC...

Guys,
BLKCRX is a 400kw CRX... boosted to the MAX - hence why he's only getting 300kms out of a tank!
I used to get a consumption of 7.2L/100kms... which would get me close to 450kms out of a tank. - then the consumption went bad - to about 9.xL (350kms) but its slowly getting better after a recent tune... hopefully back to 7ish..

yeh, also guys, alot depends on how short/long ur trips are? when i was travelling 20-30kms to work every day from strathfield to frenchs forest, i was getting alot better mileage than usual. Usual for me is alot of stop/start trips less than 10kms per trip.
On my Em1, the most I have ever done on a full tank is around 450km.
I dont know if I can do anymore, by that time the fuel light comes on! Too scared to carry on. Part of the reason why I haven't pushed it further is because of the fuel gauge, its always going up and down on the last half. So I really never know how much I have left!
How do you know when you are burning rich? Is there a solution if you are?
regards
All you guys getting 500+ kms are you driving manuals ? (Stupid question i know but it makes a difference)
Also, if you are running rich then how do you stop your car from running rich ? :)
As for me, most ive gotten is 450kms from a tank. Usually around 380-420kms city driving.
full tank.
i guess 37L+ gets me to 360-400kms. thats with frequent bursts thru traffic. hehe i buy petty every 2-3days. so its around $100wk on petty. freakn expensive shiet. i drive all over sydney.. with no map. haha:D dats why ders always Vodafone123.
"Vodafone123 Maria speaking can i help you.."
"hi im kinda lost...."
hahah:D

Between city driving or higway ive had from 350-500kms....for one tank.
Since my conversion my fuel light hasn't worked so i never run it down, but i get pretty close .. perhaps 1/8th left... that is usually about 30/35ish litres and i get around 400 from that, once I hit 400 i usually fill up cuz i never know exactly how much is left in the tank, EG fuel meters can be pretty inaccurate =)
i was at hannys with a friend so i thought i'd ask today,
he goes "your running on 17s and your exhaust is too big thats why your getting less KMs" haha
telling me to return to stock and all
so if you have big wheels i quess it takes more revs to push the car.
Heavy wheels will harm fuel economy, but a better exaust should improve it due to lower backpressure (less power wasted pushing the exaust gasses out).
about 500km. even with a few 'fun times' too!
450km... most of the time i dun rev over 4000rpm
can i ask what makes a car run rich?
i just got a 93 eg civic and get around 350-400ks on a full tank..
ive got a hole in my exhaust though...maybe thats why i cant get more outta my tank??
Done about 360 and the fuel meter says a bit under 1/4 full. 94 eg breeze. These have a 40L tank?
im hittin about 450km a tank
About 350-400 on a 60L tank
i get about 350kms out of my full tank... but when driving at vtec, say... half that? ahha
daily driven 1500ish revs -> 500+km
occassional 3000+ revs -> 300+km :(
My car is EJ8 Sohc VTEC.
Ocasional VTEC-ing, Fuel light had been on for only 15km.
490Km on 45L :D City Driving.
I must say i get better fuel economy with my pod filter on + BP ultimate.
Best ive ever got was 600Km country driving. :thumbsup:
Well i did my best and worst economy in one day, was quite a long drive.
Did about 580km during the first few hours of the trip.
Then as it got later, and i grew more frustrated i did 210km after i refilled my tank, can i hear you say vtec and 5th gear?
On a private highway ofcourse.
Damn you hit VTEC in 5th? I don't know if i've even been there in 4th yet :pQuote:

im pretty sure its safe to say the hondas r pretty frickin economical
they sure are!
my previous ride was a 180 and i had 300km outta a 55L tank!
370 full tank.. on just on E? hahahaha EK 1, rev about 2-3000 rpm
best is about 7.9l/100km
worst is about 12l/100km
getting only 450kms a tanks for daily driving :confused:
Only? Thats pretty decent for a b16a in EG sedan... city driving?
max 454kms (ard 35L), normal driving, which is gud enuf for me, but would love to get more kms since petrol price is just getting crazy lately
.... I've drove 170km and the light is already touchin the bottom line..??? something wrong? when i feel it up full it never reach to the top... somethin wrong with my sensor?
Wow, old thread!
My new EG VTi is staggering. I thought, yeah, 1.6L VTEC will use more fuel. But I get about 600km/45L even around the city. Because it cruises at 3k at 100, I use the same fuel on the freeway as around the city.
My '84 Civic was a bit strange. It'd get 11km/L around the city and 12.5km/L on the freeway. But it'd get 13km/L when I was flat out on the twisties.
Nodachi, are you sure you're putting a full tank into it? If you're actually getting 170km to a whole tank, I'd be scared. 'Cos that means you're losing about 20L of petrol!
I'm guessing it's a gauge issue.
b4 cai: 450km a tank
after cai: 490 a tank
:eek: holi crap.. i'm sure i fill it all da way to the top, the fuel pump clicked so i stop, about 35+ L was put in.. now on the meter it had 17x km... the the fuel indicator was like almost to red line... funni thing is.. 2 days a go.when i start the car the indicator was about half way.. yesterday it's about 1/3 and today it's almost to the line... I only drove out to the shops and back... It's haunted...:(
Just wondering does premium and all these fuels acctually help economy? or does it just slightly. Is it worth getting if your only after economy rather then performance? i got a breeze 1.3 carb and i get about 430+km i tank and thats reving high on the occasion(using optimax)...?
i heard it was bad for your engine to run your car on the last needle?
k i get 350ish per tank
No one has answered the question of 'Running Rich'???
Can we fix this problem if the car is running too rich? (What does it mean anyway???)
850km per tank ..........gotta love diesel baby
same :oQuote:

I mannaged 720km with the on in my 90' SiR that was driving the pacific highway from the gold coast to newi. I was Running on Shell 98" That was on the 21st. And up there it was only $1.13 a freaking litre
I get at least 450km per tank with my VTi coupe. That's a combination of freeway and city driving. Pretty easy to get 550km with freeway driving.
Figures are quoted with the following mods: air filter, 4-1 extractors and 2.25 inch custom made exhaust system. Might get even better fuel figures if a VAFC is fitted. :)
350-450 on 40L depends on how hard i drive it
i get 450K on average... thats with half driving hard half driving normla... 450K before the fuel lights come on... i've never driven until the light comes on...maybe i'll try it one day
i got about 540km for a tank of unleaded 95 and my car is Jazz vtis !!!
should be able to squize a jazz more than that lol!
my average for a full tank approx. $40 is about 700km
i wonder if we all have different size tanks? lol
maybe?Quote:

na thats sounds about right... but i can't afford petrol anymore cos it costs to much.
well H22A Accord.... on premium.. get around 100km/10L... thats with a few vtec laps lol.... F22B on premium.. got around 90km/10L.... when reving, got around 80km/10L..
hey last week i filled up my tank (eg breeze carb 1.5L, dunno what size tank) with Bp premium and i got 360 off the full tank, this week i filled it up with Mobil regular unlead and i got 450 off the full tank and i drove to exact locations as last week from Liverpool to penrith UWS. WTF is that about? 90km more on mobil regular fuel? any possible explanations? (traffice was same, basically same revs, same routes).
i know what you mean i filled up on premium shell and got 600+ and i last filled up on bp premium and got 290 . some how i think bp fuel is crap in general. my car didnt idle smoothly on the bp crap and it purs on shell!Quote:

i can only get like 330 out of a full tank lol..maybe i should get it checked out..i should be hittin at least 400 with a bit of speed
