FD civic average fuel usage / tank

shit im confused about vtec on my fd2 now LOL. been reading up on some posts here and elsewhere and some things contradict =/.. or im just a bit silly haha.. can someone clear up whether or not the vtec on the fd2 engine saves petrol up to 5000K RPM?

FD1 (R18 engine) vtec range is below 2.7899587766k rpm (it varies lol depending on weight etc , its essentially vtec-e that saves petrol)

FD2 (K20z engine) vtec range is starts at 5k rpm, this vtec is to pull more power thus uses more fuel and causing you to shout vtec yo!!

essentially, FD1 saves petrol during vtec range, while FD2 uses more petrol during vtec.

LOL. ah so.... between 1-5000 RPM on the fd2 it will use minimum petrol?

lol yeh supposedly. uhm..i get average around 300ks for 25L. i think it depends on how many ppl in the car as well, well my car feel sluggish with 5ppl lol.

filled up last week and tried to see how much i could get out of a full tank. i got to about 450kms before the light went on. as soon as it came on tho, i looked for the nearest petrol station to refuel

[.k.]

lol resist the urge! how many L did you put in? even when i try to drive around with no bars i get scared and still hav like 8L left.. is there an aftermarket thing that can measure how much fuel u have left in tank?

[Waternmo]

i get around 450km out of a full tank... with occasionally Vtec yo! haha, i think Greddy made infometer that shows the remaining KM and average fuel consumption, it works for OBDII but im not sure what kind of plug we hav in the FDs...

[.k.]

anyone know what kinda plug we have? would be good to know how much fuel i have left in the tank and not fill up so early every time

I've heard that running your car on low fuel is bad as there are a lot of "crap" on the bottom of the tank so its bad for the engine. So it is always good to not let the light come on or if it does fill it up straight away.

Anyways for my FD2 I have had an average of 470km. This is to when the last bar goes off. I've been using BP Ultimate from the 1st day i got the car.

It's OBDII.
