Wondering what all you guys get out of a tank roughly?
I generally always use BP Ultimate, before was using V-Power, im getting roughly sometimes 400km outta a tank pushing hard, mainly city sorta driving..

Best ive had was 500km with basically almost all highway driving

BTW i search'd for a similar thread n found nuffink lol

400km and 500km are useless figures. You need to report as litres per 100km, so you get proper fuel consumption numbers.

BTW, what is "nuffink"?

I had the same problem too, my dc5r can do about 400km for full tank, mainly city driving

**WATAJK** · 08-09-2009 08:53 PM

Well im hitting 11-12L/100km AT LEAST sumfin like that.
From what ive been told you need give it a thrash everynow and again or else the ECU plays up, VTEC engages later so it needs a push but come on
I dont get how my ****ing economy is that bad

i'm assuming all models have a 50L tank? i'm probably wrong.

assuming mine is a 50L tank (02 dc5r), then it's about 10-10.3/100km.

But you can't run all 50L in the tank because you end up stranded by the side of the road.

I fill up to full tank, drive maybe 200km and then fill it back up to full tank at the same petrol station. Takes the number of litres and divide by kms and multiply by 100 to give L/100km.
