Hi Everyone,
Didn't want to hijack another thread here about my fuel consumption but I've been hearing people getting over 400KM out of a Civic FD fuel tank... something which I have never, ever achieved since owning the car from new.
The highest I ever got was about 350KM before the light came up and I rushed to the nearest servo with one dot left on the guage.
I don't drive hard either, slow accelerations and never going past 3.5K RPM even when needing to overtake.
Doing the fuel consumption figures, I'm doing like 11.8L to 12.5L every 100KM which is pretty dismal as the Accord my parents drive does 13L with a 2.4L engine and they are doing start-stop traffic whereas I get a smooth continual flow at 70KMH for 15KM or so with only a traffic light or two.
I've found that with the AC on, it goes closer to the 13L/100KM mark.
Now to the petrol I use. I NEVER use e10 cause that gives me worse economy... like 13L+ per 100KM but fill up using 91 Unleaded, like non-e10. I've filled up at the same servo for the past 3 years as well, so I'm not mixing petrols.
What's sad? My older 2002 Corolla with over 100K on the dial does 10L every 100KM on the same driving environment. Civic has 27K KM on the dial and apparently an economical engine according to Honda...
