Opinions on 7th gen Civic

[7th Gen]

maybe u guys do more city driving than the others. i've noticed if i do more freeway/motorway driving, the fuel consumption is better. but if im in traffic alot, the consumption is higher.

you're right bo279
i give my 7th gen a caning on the freeways and stuff and usually get 450+ km per tank, high 400s, sometimes very close to 500km

i think as it gets older there is less friction on the engine internals and so it 'moves better' (you know what i mean) and doesn't consume as much oil/petrol. all of course assuming you service it regularly

i don't think it's fair to compare manual and auto 7th gens cause you are always going to get better mileage from the manual. it's like what one guy said a few pages back - just shift around 2000rpm and you will get 600km (see above post!)

You guys aren't alone. Mine is also auto and only manage to achieve 430-450km per tank and that is changing gears at 3000 rpm.

It's a shame however there is not after market parts for the ES1.
