So how many litres did you have to fill to get it back up to full tank (pump stops on its own) for that 85km?

My dc4 is quite the same, it now hits only 150km or less for half tank of petrol.

There are no signs of petrol leaks or anything like that.
This could be due to my driving style however, might do a ECU reset and see if it improves to what used to be at 200km half tank.

The gauge could be inaccurate. FIll up to full tank, drive around, then fill up to full tank again. Report the kms driven and litres it took to fill back up

ok petrol light came on at 268km im sure thats not right for a 1.8litre engine

**Buffskis** · 17-03-2009 07:08 PM

it took 36 litres to fill it back up

^^ if you started with a full tank, then that gives 13.4 L/100km. That's similar to being in a traffic jam almost all of the time. If you are not in heavy stop-start traffic everyday, then I would check the tyre pressures, check the spark plug partnumber, gaps and condition, replace the fuel filter and finally, check the O2 sensor (not sure how you are going to check it since it is not easy short of trying another O2 sensor unit)

atm im resetting the ecu to see if that helps

Try driving like a lil biitch and see how that goes.

My car feels like it munches petrol, barely reaching 300km for a full tank. Compared to every other integra, my car eats up alot of petrol. I'll change my spark plugs and fuel filter and see how that goes.

that is definitly not normal man, i get about 450km in mine till the light comes on and thats without granny driving around!

check all the things aaronng listed above dude, something is really out of whack if your are getting that terrible mileage.
