[53xxu]

Hey guys,

Anyone who owns or who has owned a DC5s... Just wondering if you could tell me some fuel details..

i.e. Fuel Tank Capacity....How Many Kms per tank... What kind of driving you were doing.. What fuel you used..

Thanks.

I drive it hard daily
and a full tank will last 10 -12 days before the light goes on
haven't actually work out the exact number
I feel it is more efficient than my previous car which is the FD1 civic ( a full tank only last 7 days with the same sort of driving)

^saying that is useless. 10-12 days means nothing to anyone except you - how far are you driving? How hard are you driving? cold engine driving? highway driving?

Also, there is no way in hell it is more fuel efficient than a FD1 when driven normally... I drove a FD1 for 3 years and got usually 8L/100km from it. You're out of your mind

OP, you get around 1-2L/100km more i find. the FD's rated at 6.9L/100 combined, but i drove short distances a lot so i don't count

they're based on stadnardised tests which are supposed to represent real world driving... so add on 1-2.

how can you go off days? that doesnt mean shit.

how do we know if you drive 100km a day, or 5km a day.

can anyone give me kms to a tank?

hmmm great reference... a full tank will last me a month or so with the lights not even on....

anyway enough of jokes.. ard 10L/100km city driving probably 410/420 a tank

[curtis265]

well, if u get 10L/100km, you'll get 500km out of a tank before it runs flat out, probably 400 when the light comes on

pigcheap, the only worse thiing you could have done is told us that the tank costs $xxx to fill up (which everyone seems to do)

Got a dc5r here, I get around 450-490kms per tank. I give it a bit of a squirt every now and then, but I usually drive it gently and shift around 2.5k rpm.

I get just over 600km in DC5S, mainly freeway driving.
