DC2 Type R Fuel economy

[tRipitaka]

I reckon stop start traffic is the real killer when it comes to fuel economy.

When you're VTEC'ing you're at least gaining lots of kms

YES, stop start traffic is the worst.. especially when you're at the lights..
I always VTEC it.. I dunno why, that's just who I am..

P.S. I don't drag against anyone.. I compete against myself to the speed limit

Hopefully only when your engine's all warmed up properly.

Course man..
lols, I always leave 10 minutes earlier to go out..
Just to warm my engine up ;]

Around 350-400 km with 35 litre fuel.

I dunno why i'm getting such low mileage. I've got a mate who averages 250km in his car, but he admits to flogging the car to the max, but another mate reckons he gets 500km on average


I've recently had my 50k service and nothing bad was reported ...

I get between 360-400kms if i drive 'normally' not using vtec all that often. And about 250-300kms driving pretty hard. Its very hard to drive out of vtec.... who cares how much petrol you use when its screaming up to 8500rpm

during city drivin i get round 400...but then agn mines only a gsi

i am thinking how to do fuel economy. As i know, the A/F ratio of factory cpu is around 12.5. If I change the A/F ratio to 13.3 with aftermarket cpu. I think the car will be more faster and save more fuel.
If i'm wrong, pls correct me with detail explaination.
