Fuel Consumtion - Accord 90-97

[CB7_OWNER]

Hey Guys,


just wondering,, what you guys get for your accord's? i want to compare to mine, which i think is quite poor...i filled up this morning 36.16 L., odometer showing 320km..

so 36.16/320 = 0.113 (times by 100) gives me 11.3L/100km using 91ULP......-.-

Nature of driving each day: Granny Style
5 Mins from home to Kingsgrove M5 East Entrance.
4 Mins on M5 East (usually coasting @ 65-75km/h)
Princess Highway exit> through newtown (stacks of traffic)> Uni of Syd

And then reversed, from uni to home...


Soo guys, if you could share your fuel consumptions, in a simple format like:


Car:

Petrol used: 91, 95 or 98, or Shell (100)

Nature of driving: Granny (shifts@2500-3000rpm).. Rev head(shifts @ 4k+ or, holds the gear for ages)

Actual Calculated amount of fuel consumed:
OR
Estimated per tank stating weather it is 55L or 60L

And list of MODS, if any:

Thanks Guys

The fuel consumption that your getting is reasonable for city driving. I saw somewhere that city driving fuel consumption for F22B non VTEC engine is 11L/100km. For highway I've manage to get 8L/100km
Here's mine
Car: 93 EXI
Petrol used: unleaded 91
Nature of driving: Granny (gear shift between 2.5k-3k)
Actual Calculated amount of fuel consumed: 12L/100km (400km for 48L)

LOL, fuel consumption of a non vtec affects the question.
If you don't have vtec, whats the point of hooning in an accord?

[rahul]

Car: 95 vti-s, manual

Petrol used: mostly 98. I find using a 91 has no effect on fuel consumption. just not as smooth as 98. I use 98 for the long term benefits of having a cleaner engine.

Nature of driving: Granny (shifts@2500-3000rpm).. Rev head(shifts @ 4k+ or, holds the gear for ages). Both. depends how i feel.

Actual Calculated amount of fuel consumed: 10l/100km avg

i'll go one more, tyre pressure, as i think it has a noticable impact on fuel economy. Front 37, rear 33

Car is a manual 1991 CB7.

Last long trip; Mid North Coast to Byron Bay and back. Driving = legal speed hwy driving (+ 5kmh much of the time), with much cruise control and some A/C use.

Fuel use on that trip (carefully checked brim fill to brim fill) = 6.3L per 100km going North, 6.5L per 100km going back South. Fuel = ordinary unleaded non ethanol.

Engine stock save for a CAI (home made). Tyre pressure front = 38psi, rear = 45psi. Toe alignment = zero front and rear. Gearbox oil = Motul synthetic (may have some slight bearing).

If you do some reaserch about the F22B1 engine its tuned more for flexibility and refinement than outright power. In another words more for fuel economy that power.

This thread should be limit to non VTEC engine for a more accurate fuel comparison between one another since CB7 doesnt have VTEC engine from factory

fuel consuption specs still arent drastically different tho, the attitude of the driver prob has a higher impact (ie. ppl with vtec prob drive more agressively coz they think its better )

exactly the point I was trying to make.
Ppl with vtec will normally drive to a degree where they can "feel" vtec.
It sounds stupid but makes sense if u have a vtec.

Mate, obviously the f22b1 was made for fuel economy. I dont need to research, I think its pretty obvious considering its a 100kw vtec engine which is only a sohc.

wasent having a go at you in particular

the vtec engine prob be slightly better on the juice if u always drive granny style, you never need to rev it past 4krpm but wheres the fun in that

for the point of this discussion i average around 11l/100ks with a worst of 15l/100ks (hence my point about driving style)

[Riviera]

i had a really good run recently

-CD5 Accord VTi-S - F22b1 just to be clear...
-Automatic
-32psi all round
-full tank to bottom line without fuel light
-507km

granny driving severly lol i think there was 2, 6500 shifts
and mostly highway suprisingly for me, i was trying for
best consumption at reasonable and practical speeds

i got 507Km out of a tank i could have got more but this was really run down
fuell light hadnt came on but still... the needle in the cords go up and down
alot anyways

[Phorist]

just to add a little fuel to the fire

non vtec

550k's off full tank (55l)
91 ron
25 mins at 90kph + 15 mins at 100kph (and return trip exactly the same)
granny shifting most of the time

not bad really 10L per 100k's

plus I get slightly better economy when i use ultimate (98 ron) once a month

[interfooler]

I was just wondering if it's ok to put into neutral while scrolling down for a red light? For auto that is.
