FD civic average fuel usage / tank

[eeKayFouR]

yeah well i'm doin about 2/3 tanks of this e10 then i'll see how many k's i get and compare it to 95 unleaded n premium 98 ron see what difference there is

warwick - you 50/50 normal and freeway and only get 400 wtf?

[warwick108]

start then go.. but i do not revv the car.. =S

[warwick108]

yeh.. i seriously think there is something wrong with my car.. i do not push it at all.. -_-".. out of a full tank.. i let vtec kick in about twice.. =S.. other than that.. low revvs all the way.. =S.. I use cruise control on the free way tho.. does that make a difference?

i get 400-450 from my fd1 nowadays.. i guess it's the cold that's reducing our milage..

running on cold engines..

[eeKayFouR]

not sure who else has felt it but when the car's on cruise control it doesnt feel as smooth as it is with ur foot.. when the road goes up/down it tries too hard to accellerate thus wasting fuel and even as its cruising along its pushin the car a little bit much =S

[warwick108]

yeh..i feel the same..but i drive home really late at night.. so i cbf looking at the speedo so i use cruise control.. =S

i let vtec kick in

vti = what vtec lol ?

[.k.]

the 1-3krpm fuel savin vtec lololol

[bodaas]

vti = what vtec lol ?

he means i-vtec and the more you kick it in the better fuel consumption lol

[warwick108]

the i-vtec kicks in at 2+ revvs.. but it doesnt mean it saves fuel, it means it eats less fuel than if i-vtec wasnt there..

"VTEC-on on the R18A means it is running low cams. More importantly is VTEC engages the low-cams only if the right conditions for fuel economy are acheived. If they are never acheived, like when we are driving aggressively for the whole trip for e.g., VTEC will never open on the R18A. Thus it is a completely different idea from the VTEC implementations of old where VTEC will always open after a certain rpm, irregardless of the driving conditions"

fuel economy operating range between 1000 - 3500 rpm, i was wrong
