8th Gen Civic - Concerns on fuel economy

[denot]

It is not a matter of treating a car like a baby, just drive it smart.

Haahahaha... for me, I treat my car like a baby by driving it smartly... ^_^

anyhow, my fuel consumption was rather absurb today... just fill the tank 32.85L for 311.15kms... -_-" (too much heater???)

[clem]

hit rev cut quite a few times... 1st 2nd and 3rd

Just trying to say that its highly unlikely that someone who hits rev cut at 1st 2nd and 3rd 'quite a few times' is able to achieve 760kms in the same tank.

Clem, i agree wholeheartedly, 760km per tank under exteem driving conditions could not be achieved, except in dreams

whats ur daily commute like?

[amuson]

i do pretty much normal driving with some highway driving and get 500km or so out of a full tank out of my fd2 manual

My daily comute is a 90km round trip, 60% rural back roads & 40% town.

indeed this was my worst... bear in mind i have the sports, auto, 80% city (slow-stop) driving and heater always on whenever i drive with my fiance... usually i only do around 8.5-9L/100 kms...

that makes sense then.. mines like 40km in the city/ inner suburbs lol

As an update on my last 5 tanks fuel consumption has varied between 6.51 & 6.87 L/100k. engine must be starting to loosen up a little.

[gerard]

nows winter, noticed my fuel consumtion has gone up to 10.5/100

[buddah51au]

Would you mind telling me please how being winter effects fuel consumption? It is winter here as well & for the last 6 weeks (500 to 600km per week) i have used less than 7L/100km. Only fractionally but very consistant.
