Fuel Consumtion - Accord 90-97

[Riviera]

they recommend not to... but if your gunna end up sitting at the lights
after doing the neutral roll up to the lights then it should be ok when u put it
back into drive

the cars manual says, leave in drive when positioned at lights but if its going to
be an extended period like 5mins on a dodgey set of lights then its fine

I always roll up to lights in neutral... but the way i see it...

Neutral gear = no engine braking = more use of brakes = more petrol.

But for some reason i still neutral up to lights lol...if i was driving manual i wouldn't recommend the clutch in at the lights though.


that aside...

It was a new week... and my fuel consumption got better.. this week i got 34/320km (hard to belief did exactly 320km right up too the petrol station agn).

But last week.. i redlined about 20 times ... dunno why my fuel consumption went down haha....my optimal 14.7:! air to fuel ratio must be in higher rev's for my car ( should get it tuned)

Re: auto neutral - why not?

I roll to a stop in neutral all the time. It's a habit - some may say a bad habit - but I've survived so far. My reckoning is, if I'm not in gear using engine braking then I use less petrol. It takes me less than a second to pop it into gear and release the clutch if I spot an emergency situation.

32.5 Litre good for 300km = 10.8l/100k

My average journey is very short, about 10 minutes. So is my car's fuel economy considered good?

I recently drove 2200km from QLD to VIC (mainly highway driving at 110ish) and i got an average of 7.5L/100km in my 1990 CB Accord (automatic). I average about 10 litres per 100km around the suburbs.

Good but not great. I previously posted my best known economy where I got a carefully checked 6.3L per 100km on a run to Queensland from NSW.

Now that's really good! Not sure what I'd get in urban driving, hardly do any...

PS Car is a manual CB7 (f22A9)

NOT for me... some reason.. my fuel consumption went down the drain after i did a 2" catback....which was the start of the colder day's...
