dc5r eating petrol

[Zinyo]

i've always used vpower, it doesnt burn too fast hence always gettin 500+ even under the occasional "push". I might have to try mobil and see if there's any difference...
But regardless, it depends on wether you go to a lot of stop-start traffic or not/if you're a "heavy foot" type/anticipate traffic...

Everytime you fill up, just make sure the hose is somewhat vertically down and turn the fuel handle upside down as there are always a little bit leftover fuel in there that people usually forget about...its basically fuel that are left inside the hose/handle...u paid for it so make the most of it...

my dc4 im getting anywhere from 280-380kms on synergy 6000 with a 40 litre tank
but my engine has 280XXXkms on it.....currently doing an engine conversion so im hoping the figures will be better then =]

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.

running my dc5 non-R on V-power. Mainly highway driving (from city to nepean hospital). full tank can last me close to 600km and the reserve light hasn't come on.

So OP. In summary,

use 98 octane fuel for a few tanks and see how you go

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

Wrong.
You Fail.

Check here:

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.
