DC2 Type R Fuel economy

[gitsumhnnnr]

Hey guys - just want to know - how many km's do you get out of a tank?

I use optimax and only average 350km city driving and 400km on the freeway

[FANATK]

all depends on how u drive!
im looking to get a type r as soon as i find one,
my GSi teg did 500-550 a tank!

Yep! depends if you enjoy the occasional squirt of VTEC, or whether you drive with no VTEC, or if you like to VTEC it all the way..
It all effects your petrol consumption

i get 400 on a dc2r
50 litr tank.
driving normally with vtec engage sumtimes.
everything stock except a vtec contorller.

i was very heavy footed and i got 400+ out of one tank and i never saw the petrol light come on. The fuel stick would sit right on the E - which would mean i proly had another 50k or so.

i drive a vti-r and i average about 390 - 400kms until the light comes on.. thats with you average city driving, seeing the redline once or twice every 50kms.

honestly im disapointed with the fuel economy of b-series engines.. my previous car (2.2 litre mazda mx6 turbo, running 12psi on a t28) got better fuel economy.

approx 10l/100km here, but I don't get to do much freeway driving. I estimate around 8l/100km if I did.

[uetecu]

i've done 650km on a freeway.

400-420km city peak hour driving.

[Sp3rMz]

I average at 370kms. Note: Car is modded, running rich and needs a re-tune.

i'm like uetecu.. done 650 on the freeway.. usually do around 8.5l/100km in the city

if you want better fuel economy you need to drive gently!

Can't really do that when you have VTEC..
VTEC is friggin addictive..

I reckon stop start traffic is the real killer when it comes to fuel economy.

When you're VTEC'ing you're at least gaining lots of kms
