You're probably just inconsistent - try and average over 5000k's and then compare again - one fill often isn't enough to determine how good a fuel is, yet that's what everyone does.
i was just thinking, if premium fuel is more saturated with fuel and what not, wouldnt it burn faster? therefore giving u less mileage in the short term at least?
No, because your engine manages the input of fuel based on the throttle. The fuel only burns once its in the cylinders so how fast it burns wouldn't have any effect on usage. And if its more combustible, it should need less fuel per revolution to achieve the same speed, meaning by your logic it would use less (not sure it does though).

I have heard of this problem before as a friend of family bought a auto version vti and could only get about 370-400km on one tank. This improved progressively after he had done about 7000+ km and he manages to get around 550km now which is really good considering his is a auto as well. I believe stick to the ultimate aswell. I have heard people say that the caltex vortex is really good aswell especially for hondas.
i started this thread around 2 years ago.. when I picked up the civic, since then ive only been using v-power or bp ultimate, however im still averaging the same milage around 10l/100km.. which i think is very very poor.. i dont thrash my car at all and i dont really do any short distance driving or city driving.. =S

also try reseting your ECU from time to time.
Reset the ECU? How?
My FD2 runs like 190km with half tank of the BP ultimate fuel,
So I would expect the total mileage to be less than 400km for 40L, that's like 9.5Km/L....and which is 10.5L/100km, is it normal for a FD2 (sport)?
Is there any product that can be added to the engine for a better fuel consumption (I heard a fd saying there is sth to be poured into the engine....)?
My FD2 done 63k now....auto......I live in northbridge and work in the city, and sometimes (2/week) bk to Curtin, and sometimes go places like Carousel.
Thanks
