dc5r eating petrol

[r3ckless]

i have only ever used bp ultimate i my car....

first and foremost... for me, i believe out of all the 98RON fules, v power burns way too fast.. bp ultimate is the best imo.

But i get around 500km to my tank, but my reading is average of 9.0litres / 100km

i drive basically 250km cruising, and 250 spirited.

The other weekend, i went RNP and went up and down about 6/7 times... Gave it a good squirt! and i still got 500 km afterwards.

Also when you shift, the best time for shifting for power/fuel economy, i shift @ 3K

so shift anywhere from 2500-3000rpm. shifting around 2Krpm- dc5's struggle.

I also use a website called fuelly that tracks my fuel consumption; www.fuelly.com

I jsut punch in the price i paid for my fuel, the km i done, and the amount of litres i filled up. Tells me all this info and average consumption etc!

You're wrong. All DC's have 50-litre tanks. Even the first gen SX16 Integra had a 50 litre tank. Check the hard specifications if you don't believe me. The fuel gauge is a little alarming as it shows empty/reserve very early on to stop optimistic people running it until dry.

Even a current model Suzuki Swift manages to squeeze a 48-litre tank in it.

Even though the AuDM DC2 is officially tuned for 95RON based on spec sheets, I go further on BP Ultimate 98RON. 95RON usually gets me around 450-460km until the reserve light comes on. With BP ultimate the car does 500km until the reserve light comes on.

That comment is wrong. I own a DC4 and DC5R. My DC4 is only a 40litre tank.

Wrong.
You Fail.

Page 3, in Fuel: Fuel Tank capacity: What does it say there?


Further confirmation, if you have the 1994 Integra Service manual (downloadable online all over the web), refer to page 3-7. Fuel tank capacity: 50L.


End of discussion right there.

Apologies if this is going sidetracked, but do you own a DC4 or have filled up a DC4 from an almost empty tank? I filled up petrol today from what I believe is an almost empty and can only manage 38 litres.

This answers my question. http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...light=dc4+fuel

You can't do that and say that your tank is absolutely 40 litres. There is a reserve section where the needle is at empty but you have about 8-10 litres left at the bottom. And the thread you linked points to 50 litres.

Here is more proof that it is 50 litres. http://www.carsales.com.au/car-resea...d=127498A3A102
