Fuel Efficiency Question - 1993 lude

[BOV]

since the petrol price rock up, i relised that lude is the most fuel uneffective cross the honda beside s2000.

a full tank of 95+ will only last 380kms. and that was when i driving like grandpa...
my car is a 99 VTI-R auto....

how about yours?

[jared]

well last week i filled up on pemium unleaded 95 octane and managed to get 600 kms before i filled up again and that wasnt even on me redline empty..still couldve got another 50km i reckon as the 3rd gen ludes have a small reserve tank i hear of...but it cost me $70 but better fuel all depends how you drive it

[gReY-oNe]

yeah im doin abts the same as you full tank i get probaly 410-450 kmz yeah n dats driving slow as. but den again i onli du town driving .. so dunt no...

[bigteethygrin]

380 is VERY low dude.. sounds like you may need to get it checked. Otherwise count the kms from a full tank and then how many litres you fill up after to give a more accurate reading.

[nickiipoohz]

well i got a JDM h22 in my accord and i get like 10km/litre. i normally get like 510+km with 50 litres of fuel and this involves the occasional sprints. you probbaly need a service or something. maybe cos your car is auto as well??

[redliner]

380km only and with grandpa driving? ur car has problems dude.

i get about 450-500km with regular driving and abit of VTEC here and there.

[ASSASSIN]

yeah it is auto i get abt the same from 40 litres i can get a bit over 400 i think it is cause of the auto...

[chicken8]

lets only compare 5th gens

all other gens get more mileage

for me i actually get better mileage when i drive it harder than a granddad

like shift at 3k rpm

for a full tank i get 450-480 on 95RON fuel. i only use caltex vortex

optimax does bad things to ur car cause shell cant reach 98 octane naturally and added heaps of additives to boost the RON. theres a in depth thread on www.preludeaustralia.com about it

when i go downhill i always chuck it into neutral (i have the tiptronic model)

also depends how many ppl u carry and how much luggage. im only ever in the car on my own, so i prolly get better mileage. and im using honda FEO oil which might help also

[h22a accord]

i got 150km to 50 litres last week with me driving hard everywhere hehehe.

[ASSASSIN]
