    Your kidding arent you.... who told you all this stuff

    If your engine is 'injecting big globs of fuel into your engine which doesn't get burnt' then you need to get it checked by Honda as your engine should be burning all the fuel regardless of throttle position.
    Winding down your windows does nothing unless you plan on travelling at extreme speeds. I dont believe everything i hear but i dare say thet Myth Busters would be pretty correct with their findings.
    The heater will not use any more fuel even if you have it turned to full hot. All the heater does is circulate water through the heater core and the air from the fan is directed through this core to heat the air.
    A/C on the other hand is a different matter as it needs the A/C compressor to cool the air entering the interior

    As for fuel economy....
    I have a manual FD1 that i religiously run on Caltex E10 and i have no problems getting between 550 and 600klms per 42 litres around town including peak hour traffic

    I dont know just how much extra power people are expecting to gain by running 98 octane but lets remember here guys its a naturally aspirated 1.8 litre engine. The gains to be had by using 98 octane may be at most 5kw's and you will never feel the difference with such a low power gain.

    is caltex E10 any good , been using bp mostly ever since i got my eg.. then been turning to shell v-power now cus of fuel prices and its hard to find anywhere which gives out bp fuel discounts.

    Maybe ill give it ago since i have lots of safeway fuel discounts. and see if its the same as the other 2

    Well i have no problem with it and get good fuel economy from it. I never have problems with performance, actually the car drives very very well given its only a single cam 1.8

    lol can u actually feel vtec in the FD2?

    i drove liek grandpa and got shitty fuel consumption... I find that if i drive reasonably aggressively, shifting at maybe3-3.5k, it makes no difference in the end in terms of fuel usage...

    Hey all,

    Bought the Vti brand new a month ago, now has 2000'ks on it. Has the 5 spd auto in it. Best we've got fuel wise so far is 580'ks on 42 litres of premium fuel. Very happy with that. 600'ks no problem as long as your not too far from a servo.....There were no bars left on the gauge and the light came on at about the 490 to 500 k mark. Thats just normal driving. Not even trying to save on fuel. Want to see what its like on E10 next.
