Yes because the fuel light comes on when you have 10L left in the tank (around 100km )
However its never exactly 10L its more or less depending on the slope the car is on ect which is why it blinks on and off alot!
The fuel pump gives you a more accurate reading, however they too vary, because i noticed at diffrent fuel pumps my car wont fill up all the way for some reason (i.e i turn on the car and it doesnt go past the Full bit)
ps, i hate the m1 at 8:30 going to uni. and after finishing 5:30 classes =(

ive got a 1996 vti-r teggy with 140k's on the clock.
My fuel gauge is completely unreliable. When sitting on empty it only takes 30L's to take it to full/overflowing.
Ive never let the fuel light come on for fear of just running it dry.
As for economy im getting around 8.4L/100km mark with CAI, 2.5 inch 4-1 headers, high-flow cat and BC pro spec. Thats with a suspected dodgy O2 sensor,
because i seem to be running pretty rich. Also run it on 95 at BP (they dont have 98 :S)
I drive an hour to and from newcastle, and my teg generally see's the redline atleast once each time i get in it.
Its been serviced religiously by the previous owners and myself though, (being owned by a 65 year old lady from new until i came along, haha) so i guess it all comes down to maintenance
rather than being lead-footed.

Well my Integra won't go over 40L of fuel, at 41.05L it started to overflow... lol.
So the guy who said its 50L has obviously heard/read wrong.

Here we go again.
So I guess this is WRONG:
http://www.honda.com.au/wps/wcm/conn...df?MOD=AJPERES
Oh guess what, this factory manual for the 93-96 year is WRONG too:
And then this factory manual for the 97-01 years is seriously WRONG too too:
And this has got to be seriously WRONG too too too:
http://www.redbook.com.au/used-cars/...d=127D861B3C9B
Oh look, even the JDM Honda site has it WRONG even:
http://www.honda.co.jp/auto-archive/...ta/3sir_g.html
if you can't read Japanese, fuel capacity is: 燃料タンク容量（L） 50
Look, this one is WRONG too!
http://www.honda.co.jp/auto-archive/...ata/3xi_g.html
And this is WRONG, wow seriously!
http://www.honda.co.jp/auto-archive/...95/vtc_sy.html
Japanese: 燃料タンク容量(L) 50
Wow look, even this Japanese spec sheet is WRONG:
http://autos.goo.ne.jp/catalog/detail/2001688/spec.html
if you can't read Japanese, fuel capacity is: 燃料タンク容量 50リットル
Hmmm guess what, these people have it WRONG as well:
http://www.honda-tech.com/showpost.p...77&postcount=4
This is ridiculous.
I give up on this place.

If course the DC2 has a 50L tank, any owner should look in their user's manual and there it is, in plain English.
Don't give up on OzHonda mate, there are much dodgier car forums out there where people post unfetered shit. OH is actually pretty good thanks to the forum rules and diligent moderators.

hey guys i got a vti-r teg 160 on the clock stock as a rock i get max 320 out of my tank but thats pretty much thrashing the thing everywhere
im sure if i drive like some of the blokes ive been reading about on this thread ill get over 400 easy but i cnt see how people are saying they open up vtec once a day or so i jump in my car wait for it to warm up and i just have to open it up.... at the end of the day its a integra and the car wasnt made to be fuel economic over 10years ago no such thing just a car with raw power if you want a car for fuel economy go for a corolla or something
but as for the question its all upto the driver how much kz he gets out of the thing correct me if im wrong
amd for thrashing a car integra all the way

Perhaps you should step back and take a look. The reason your car survived reasonably intact to this day is because the first owner/s didn't 'thrash' it daily.

a gud service schedule goes along way..
a integra wasnt made to be driven noramally the car has been built frm ground up to get thrashed

Gday mate,
Just thought i'd chime in on this one. I have a 98' vtir in very good nick with full history. First tank I put through it last week I was VERY heavy in the foot as I took it out over some hilly roads and things every night. From 37litres I got 340kms.
Next tank was used for a big trip with a mate yesterday. The majority was highway cruising at 100-110 which is obviously good for economy. But there were also a few heavy footed moments showing my mate how it goes - highway entry ramps and the like. I have yet to fill the tank so I don't know exactly what the consumption will look like but I have JUST hit the fuel light and I've done 545kms. I'm guessing I've used about 41 litres or so?
They're heavy on fuel while you're right up them. I used to have an ed9 crx and it didn't matter how you drove it, it just barely used fuel. This car isn't the same like that. If you are revving between 6-8 all the time it will use a decent bit of fuel. However, you'd expect it to use some in those revs. I'm really happy with it though as driven normally and on the highway it's extremely frugal still. You just have to be able to control yourself. : )
