^^ That's a noticable difference of 8%, assuming you drove both attempts in the same manner. But damn... is 10L+/100kms normal for the 8th gen Civic? My mum's Astra (ewww) does around 7-8L/100kms on normal 91 octane (its an auto too). I'm planning on getting either an FD1 Civic or a Mazda 3 around January.
So what fuel station do you guys recommend is best?
i.e. BP, Mobil, Caltex etc.
just wanting to know cuz im due for my next fill up. i mean.. obviously stay away from 7-11.. but like I heard stuff about shell having "dirty" fuel.. i never thought so much into fuel until now.

ya... thats bad eh... I hit the car a bit before when I use 95, but the last one I drive the same way... so dunno what caused it. maybe the different on trafficc condition?
hahaha. be grateful you have the option to choose between 91/95 and 98!
some people HAVE to get premium which means when its expensive=broke.
but when I had the civic, 91 does it fine. 95 if you wanna spoil it a little. 98 is totally pointless unless you have money to burn or your doing some serious stuff with your car...like racing it on track or something.
10+L/100km is not normal. a bit on the high side.
maybe its not the petrol. the way you drive can play large role too...
btw i like caltex..coz i get those dockets. lol 4c off ftw!
shell v-power racing.. there is a shell that provides that fuel around here.. but its not at all shell stations.. but i heard they are planning to take that fuel out? (100 octane).. it says 100 octane on the board.. but its more than 100 on brochure if i remember right.. how is that possible? what can be more than 100%.. =S
Guys I've always seen people said a tank can serve them 400Km+, how come my fuel light always comes on at around 380km? As far as I know I seldom go over 3,500rpm...

if u meant additional $4-5 per fuel tank refill (40-50litres) = expensive that's irrelevant imo
say that's per two weeks... so $8-10 per month
per year? $96-120...
i donate to charity more than that!!
go for Caltex or Shell for 91/95RON. for some reason my civic loves Caltex more than Shell. it gets more milage out of it.

The Best Thing After 9/11
I've been putting V-power for the 1st 1xxxxkm,each tank gave me 5xxkm, tried 2 tanks of BP Ultimate and it burns quicker significantly, then, thought might try Mobil 91, but the mileage drop a bit when compared with V-power, currently trying Mobil 8000, and awaiting results to tell it's significant or not~
Yeh I heard Caltex is the best for mileage.. it beat all the other brands. But is it clean and beneficial for the engine?
Btw thanks for all the replies
