also try this.. i know my car's fuel tank open (that hole u stick the petrol thingy in to refuel) has some problems and it sometimes stop the fuel comin in my making the fueler click.. i have to twist the thingy abit to get it fuel up.. but i dunno dats my car.. dats the reason why i though my car is running rich but infact it's just me not having petrol fill in properly...
btw i dont know how u guys refill ur cars... i usually refill justb4 the first time the yellow light comes on... like when the needle is at bottom
you should pour a full tank. drive til whenever. then re-pour a full tank, note the amount of litres it took. use that amount and the tripmeter count to calculate your km/l

I did that on a big trip once and got an avg of 8.4 litres per 100km.
On my last fill my avg was 18 litres per 100km lolz.
I've been driving my Honda for over 4 yrs now and not once have I seeing my Fuel light on. I'm too scared!
why be scared, the fuel pump sucks fuel from the bottom of the tank whether its full or empty, its going to suck the same either way so dont believe all the crud rumours flying around
hey. didnt want to start up a new thread. but someone please heLP
i own a Honda Civic VTiR Hatch. its uses a 45L tank. i have gone through several tanks of petrol, and the kms are pissing me off of hte latest tank. i've also read wyn's fuel economy thread, http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...el+consumption
and followed his guidlines, there was improvement, but this latest tank is F'd up hard . okay. heres the deal
usually, i get about 450kms before the light comes on (using 98RON fuel)
i filled up to the top, a FULL tank, then drove to bondi , came back (roughly 130kms)and it was almost half a tank. the needle was just sitting above the halfway mark. i just did a major service 2000kms ago, but hanny's did not change the sparkies. my car is completely stock. no mods. tyre pressure was 34psi, but i have one tyre with a nail in it. so im regularly checking my tyre pressure.
well i have almost finsihed this tank. the light came on and i have only driven 315kms. what is sucking up my fuel?
and also. i have only VTEC'd it ONCE on this tank. LOL. i have purposely driven conservatively on this tank. usually shift aroudn the 3k mark

i know it might sound silly. but is the fuel return hose kinked or squashed at all? Once i accidentally kinked the fuel return hose and my wideband was reading under 10. That could explain the poor fuel millage. Bad O2 sensor could give you poor fuel millage too, but thats usually only 20-30kms a tank tho
run fuel from a regular place where you note that the fuel is good. Then do all the services on the car and you should note the fuel you used based on how much you actually fill back in the car and check this against the milage.
A good civic will be about 7.5-9 litres per hundred depending on how you drive.
If you have vtec and hit vtec in every gear its like 10-11 litres per hundred.
Get a full service and use reliable fuel, i've stopped putting in fuel from just any place cos i use to get lots of problems. Pick a place where lots of people fuel up and it one of the major fuel brands. i.e shell, mobile, BP and even woollies has decent fuel. Stay away from all those wereid and backyard type places!
