Fuel Economy on EK Civic

[beeza]

Yes an hour.440km/tank sounds good to me!!

[Reloaded]

i get 400kms, 450 if i mayb push it too scared to try ccause i dont think my light turns on lol

When the fuel light comes on, how much km's (approxmaitely) is left in the tank on average?

Is it 40km?

well.. distance is relative to your car fuel's economy. I would say around 7 lt is left in the tank. But REFILL IMMEDIATELY!!! Otherwise your fuel line may be clogged with debris from the bottom of the fuel tank.

Ok great. looks like ill reach the 440km mark with my current tank so maybe not too bad overall.

I might investigate the recommendations put forward of changing the spark plugs, air filter, possibly fuel filter etc.

So far im looking at buying NGK spark plugs, K&N air filter (any other recommendations??) and the OEM fuel filter.

For the next oil change, try OEM oil as well.
Otherwise grab other oil with 10W-30 (OEM spec) or 5W-30.... it's the viscosity that matters more than the brand. Search for oil recommendation thread.

according to the manual its approx. 6.5L left when the fuel light comes on

[akira]

you should be able to get about 50kms out of the tank when the light is on, that's if you don't drive aggressively.

EKs have a 42 litre tank and I think the most I've filled into my tank is about 41.3 litres LOL

I get about 600km per tank. 2000 EK1, stock bar catback exhaust and K&N airbox filter. User manual states 6.5L left after fuel light comes on. Although mine never stays on, comes on then fades away, comes on and fades away again. Most I've filled up is 41L, I got 620km out of that tank. Oops, sorry about resurecting the old post, saw it and didnt realise i was still in the search results.
