8th Gen Civic - Concerns on fuel economy

[denot]

my updates: yesterday fill - 36L for 366kms

compare that to my fill up today - 360km - 25.18 lts. I realise the Civic Sport cant be compared to the VTI as they use different engines..... but an additional 11 lts to travel 6 km further.......Sport is used in city driving compared to vti used on rural back roads would definately account for a percentage of the difference. other than that i would have to get ho;d of a sport for a few days & use it under the same conditions to do an accurate comparrison.

Oh and I fill it with different ULP as well, using Shell instead of Caltex this time (will it matters?)

i am now up to 11 consecutive weeks of registering under 7L/100km, so i got the calculator out today and came up with the following figures. This is my overall fuel consumption since i got the car....these figures have been double & tripple checked.......24,268kms, total fuel used = 1703.49 lts. to me a remarkable set of figures

How do you check the litre consumed? I think I have to start to check as well since the drop in the console was really drastic lately.

filled on monday (and this time I only use my car for 10-20kms a day and the rest kms are on weekends) 26.65L for 251.52kms... T-T

simple mathematics with the help of a calculator

Well, if you reset your trip counter when you put fuel in, then you know at your next refuel how much distance you have travelled for the amount of fuel you have to top up again.

buddah... the figures are pretty impressive, I am nowhere near your fuel consumption with a VTI-L Auto.



but I live pretty much 1 suburb away from the CBD which means I prob go through >10 traffic lights about 50m away from each other every day...

andyhui, i think my figures are close to yours as well... T-T

[buddah51au]

andyhui01...... I am very impressed with the figures and i honestly thing you would be hard pressed to get better without going to a very small car. nothing that compares to a civic can get close to it on fuel consumption. I also believe the programing of the auto trans is a big help. we are planing a trip to sydney later this year and i will be very surprised if i dont average under 6l/100

denot... bear in mind that I'm in the (VTi-L) 1.8 engine and you have the (Sport) 2.0 engine... I am by no means saying my fuel consumption is high but I remember reading on one of the fuel economy discussion threads (and also the singapore civic forum) that there are people doing 600k on 1 tank, and people who have a constant 8l/100km fuel consumption...

buddah, I don't understand, how are you impressed with my figures when you do <7l/100km on practically rhe same car (the weight difference on the VTi-L and Vti is very minimal I believe)
