Is your Integra economical?

[JEZ83L]

Hi ladies and Gents,

We own a 03 Falcon BA XR6 and it's might be cheaper to give it to the wife and I buy a smaller daily driver.

I am toying with the idea of buying a CRX Gen 2 or 3 or an Integra for daily driving to and from work to save on fuel prices.

Is your Integra economical on petrol? How many liters is a tank, how much does it cost you and how long does it last for daily driving?

Any help would be good for research :P

Cheers,

Jesse.

Depends what sorta driving you do. For me driving around town and to and from work id get about 350km out of the fuel before i refill (i refill just below quarter tank to go) highway driving i can get anything up to 500km before i refill.

erm. a 1.6 or 1.8 n/a 4cyl will obviously use significantly less fuel than your xr6.

do you really need people to tell you this? its common sense.

i get about 320 for a 40 litre tank of city driving.... redline is at 8500rpm so i usually shift at about 4, if i granny shifted more id probably get 400... but who really gives a shit...

[1900-hustler]

the dc2/r fuel tank is 40L

at worst i get 10L/100km or 400kms per tank (city driving)

mixed driving i get about 9-9.5L/100km or 450kms per tank

Highway its about 8L/100km or 500kms per tank

this is with 98 octane pertrol (usually caltex, sometimes mobil)

i got an 2000 integra type R and i work in the city, i pretty much work full time so im driving into the city pretty much everyday back and forth. i get about 480km(BP Ultimate) on full tank and i do give the car ago sometimes so its pretty good!

I get 10L/100km at the very worst, 6L/100km on the freeway.

in a full tank i do a mix of city traffic and freeway tarffic always.. when my integra dc2 was stock i was to get 550-600km but i barely ever use vtec... once a put filter and exhaust on i get 450-500km out of the 40lt tank

my driving style didnt chnge or traffic conditions...
hope this helps you makes a decision

Thanks for the replies so soon, 'cept for you Mr_Will... If I baby my car I can get 11-12ltr/100km and that really being soft on it. Most of the replies here state they get about 9-10ltrs/100km which is only a litre of two less than me in city trafic. I have a larger tank and put more petrol in but we are almost chewing it at nearly the same rate... Not such a stupid question was it bro?

But thanks anyway, I am liking the integra that much more now. At least I could fit a baby seat in the back if needed.

i get 450km easy, and this is city/school/fwy what ever. my cars a few mods, it might even depend on the condition of the motor.

I got 350kms full tank of DC5R city driving.

if you're starting and stopping the integra will use a lot less fuel, your xr-tank will consume a lot of gas here, however if it's freeway driving, then you're gonna get similar results.

If you carry passengers, then you'd probably need driver + 2 passengers before you're better off in the xr.
