Hi all

Read a few of the threads re fuel economy for the FD1 Civic, but have a question that is still unanswered.

I have a brand new auto, first tank was 10.5L/100km, second tank is going to be roughly the same I think. This is pretty bad, although it is city stop start driving, i don't think it warrants 44% more fuel usage than the 7.3L city driving claimed by Honda.

Spoke to Honda technician and he said once the car has done more than 10,000km, then it should start getting much better. However I think the guy is just palming me off. I am sure some guys here get closer to the 7 mark.

Does anyone get similar figures? or got bad economy when the car was new, and then it started to get significantly better? If so, at how many kms?

Thanks
