MY FD ONLY TAKES ME 450km FULL TANK AND ITS BRAND NEW

[QUOTE=buddah51au;2698844]I really couldn't fault my FD1 Auto in the 2 1/2 years I owned it, not 1 problem or warranty claim in 70,000km. As a cheap Vehicle by todays standards I don't believe there is anything that can match it for value. It was only after a female decided that it was parked in the wrong place & modified the shape of it that I decided to update to a Euro ( it took a lot to convince the Mrs to do this).

I regard it as the best move I made as the base model Euro is in a different class all round in comparison to the Civic, add to that, the difference in economy is less than 1/2L/100km after 27,000km (7.08L/100km Euro - 6.78L/100km FD1) so I have lost very little in running expenses.

I fitted factory 16" alloys to it, other than that it was standard. my best recorded consumption was 5.8L/100, my worst was 7.9L/100. FD1 Auto. I still have the spreadsheet on all fuel used.
