Fuel Consumption of New Gen8 2006 Civics

[HHOONNDDAA]

I am quite interested at how much fuel these cars are consuming.

On the sport model which I've got, the label says 7.9L/100km.
This figure is meant to be city/highway combined.

I am on to my 2nd tank of fuel now, not having to record the amount travelled vs fuel used.

The funny thing is that the digital fuel meter was completely showing empty. Not even one block was lighted, and the E yellow warning light was well alit. I managed to do another 12km(city) from the time it was on till I was in the petrol station for a full refill.

It came to my amazment that it only took in 42.74L of fuel. Now, I am 100% sure that our tank is 50L. So even having the meter with no blocks, there is still a massive 7L left!

Story's over, I like to collect some data for people who like to buy a new civic and research the fuel consumption.

Please post about:
How many km's per full tank
City or Highway kms or even combined
Manual or Auto
Vti, Vtil or sport model
Cruising, sprited driving or F1 style right foot
Date of Petrol price per litre (on the increase)
Normal 91 Ron fuel, 95, 98 or 100 RON fuel!

This is my tribute,

42.74L of 91 Ron fuel @ $1.359/L
Yet to know how many K's till empty
but manual sport.
I'll repost as soon as it hits empty.

Thanks ppl!

[MKI4EVA]

picked up mid march.

yeh about 1,000km / week................hahahhahaha.

Engine feels abit looser now then when I first took it to OP at around 1500km.

The ease of driving this car is sensational. I"m no new car expert but fark........it doesn't get much better does it? Everything is so seamless and easy.



ok so whos the first to crack their dash open and wack this in there with an aftermarket ecu to boot?

you were probly driving your in reserve tank.

I never heard of a reserve tank for a car??? I ride a motor bike and there is a switch where you can flick to the reserve tank.

The manual says 91RON. Know that from the very start! Honda De-tuned K20A Variant for that purpose, to drink 91RON!!! I like to know users of 95+ RON fuel to see if any improvement... KM wise and power wise.

Reserve tank will be in use when the fuel light comes on you should have about 5 - 10L till it runs dry.
