How many KMs you guys getting outta full tank?

**Krim** · 08-10-2004 03:11 PM

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.

i get about 250kms out of 20 litres of fuel...CITY driving.

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!

**|N|** · 09-10-2004 10:25 PM

450km... most of the time i dun rev over 4000rpm

**thesarah** · 13-10-2004 11:59 AM

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??
