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.

was your FD1 stock? stock rims?

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.

[FDPete]

surely those spotties cut your aerodynamic efficiency therefore you would have recorded better figures without!

Buddah, how the heck to you average 7.08 L/100KM in yoru euro? What type of driving do you do?

All my driving is country, mostly rural B class roads - no freeway driving & obviously some driving in country towns. When i go to town which until recently was daily, it is 25km each way + about 7km of town driving. I would do that trip twice a day, 5 days a week. I recently took the Euro to Sydney & back, a round trip of 3075km & averaged 6.45L/100km for the trip. Here is a picture i took of the trip computer on that trip.

ahh that makes sense now...you could get away with a V8!

[buddah51au]

why would I want a V8, I can't think of a decent 1 under 100k that i would buy

[threesix]

just got 705k's out of one tank with 2 bars showing. light just came on.

after the light comes on how long berfore your fuel fully runs out??

[FDBenni]

ive driven a further 100km with the light on, but too scared to test the limits lol
im guessing it has 10litres left or so

[xenonkuraz]

After I ran out of the last two bars and still drove on for a further 50km+ there was STILL 7 liters left in the tank. This was on my NSW>VIC drive. Scary as hell.

My fuel consumption city driving is 600km/50L on V-Power

FD1 Auto, 718kms 44.2 litres

Herre is an article on carsguide.com.au : http://www.carsguide.com.au/site/too...est_for_my_car
talking about which type of RON to use.

I am currently using RON 91 as indicated in the fuel cap which is designed for my Honda Civic Auto FD1 MY09. I have tried using RON 95 and RON 98 as well, noticed not much different in term of fuel consumption or performance.

For fuel consumption in term of L/100km, i almost of the time drive in city (gold coast) only with the fuel consumption of 8.4L/100km to 8.8L/100km.
