that would be interesting.

i thought that 400km per full tank (40 litres) was normal for an integra... if not, then what is?

um isnt the standard tank size for an integra 50 litres. Or does GSI have 40 litres. My Vtir definately has a 50litre tank.

50L? serious? Most I've ever poured was under 40L and that was when the petrol lights were blinkin and thats full for me already. Would that be why I'm 100ks less than the majority of you out of the car? So on average I do get ~$11 per 100km.

45l-dc2
50l-dc5

but when the petrol light blinks doesn't that usually mean you have about 80kms left of that tank?? i think its called a reserve tank or something..

only reason id use 98oct in a car with stok ecu is to keep it clean, octane would make jack all difference to performance unless u had your ecu tuned to run 98 then ud have to use it all the time

On return from Melbourne after purchasing my car I was averaging about 4000rpm most of the way following my Dad in GT Liberty included a number of tandem 4-5 car at a time overtaking manouevers (read: not really babying it) with A/C on most of the way managed about 620ish, 650 definitely possible with lower rpm. Only run BP Ultimate 98ron. Subaru however did 850 easy with 60L tank and lower gearing helping too.

mmm... yeah i only get about 400 out of a tank in my R. wish i could get 550!!! that's huge...

locote, your car should run slightly better with the higher ron petrol. It should also give you better economy.

stormridah, I'm also comparing BP Ultimate, Shell Optimax and Mobil Synergy. So we'll have 2 different stock VTi-Rs results to compare. That'll be good.

And guys, comparing how far you get on "a tank" isn't so great. Try figuring out how many ltrs it takes to go 100kms. It's much better to compare that, as some people call there tank empty when the light comes on, others say it's empty when the lights been on for a bit, others still say it's 'empty' at about 1/4 full (which is when I usualy fill her up).

Consider this an educated guess, would've been running on the smell of fuel alone in the end.

isn't running until ur car is totally empty bad for ur fuel pump?
