Base 06 is good because you still have the trip computer. Just the base rims are ugly.

thats why i was curious if 06 lux headlights fit on a 05 base model

Yes, but not viable. Too expensive.

[steve88]

well shit. im really limited too 05 lux or 06 base then. 06 lux goes 25k onwords, and the cheap ones are automatic and silver ewww

[Type R Positive]

Sounds like you are sold on a base anyway mate. I seen them for low as $14k here in Perth.
HID kit and cut a hole in the roof FTW!

[steve88]

hahah yeh i got a hacksaw somewhere in the garage i think :P

no no i promised myself no more DIY jobs when buying a new car!

[tron07]

I would go looking for another 06 model with lower mileage... wonder where _civic_ 06 went??

[kairi_k]

just curious. how many ks from one tank and average cost of a tank?

cheers

[euromandeluxe]

tank is 60L if i remember correctly.

i get around 10L/100km driving 'normally' - as in not like a super-grandma. This is with 98RON. you can get better with grandma driving.

so if you fill up when before or when the light comes on (50-55L or thereabouts) and you're buying 98RON (about $1.30-1.35/L) it'd be around $70 to fill up? obviously, cheaper with 95RON, but at the cost of slightly reduced L/100km. (the 95RON still comes out financially more economical)

If you drive gently, you can do syd-melb on one tank

If you drive gently, you can do syd-melb on one tank

I was getting down to around 6.6l/100kms on PURE highway, as in i pumped petrol that was on a highway, so i think it's possible, that was without air conditioning cos the day wasn't too hot, i think once you put air conditioning on it'll hit about 7l/100kms.

Syd-> melb MIGHT be just possible, don't think i'm game enough to try it though =P

ms.Syd-> melb MIGHT be just possible, don't think i'm game enough to try it though =P

I heard of a guy that did!Sth.suburbs of Sydney to Melb.outskirts.Just under 1000kms.He worked out he got 6.4-6.5ltrs/100kms but no aircon on and he drove 90-100kph all the way.Fuel light was on and trip comp said 0kms to empty

[buddah51au]

all I can say is





That is a CU2 Auto with a/c on for at least 80% of the trip. The true reading on that tank was 6.23 filling up at 990kms. The trip computer is not 100% accurate.

The total trip distance was 3,075kms, total fuel used was 198.41 litres for an average of 6.45. This included some commuting through Sydney & Newcastle.

To take it to the next level, since owning the car I have done 26,735kms last time I filled up, using a total of 1894.07 litres for an all up average of 7.085L/100km.
