v-power or bp ultimate. 70 percent hwy/fwy 15 suburban 15 city. ill get 800 ish if i thrash, 900+ if i change at 2000 revs (oppa grandma style driving). Bhudda51au is really good at getting 1000 kms outta one tank. one day :P
Yes, managed that figure a few times in the past, but not in recent times as the car rarely gets used. I have only done 1454kms since last Christmas at an average of 8.1L/100km. srtrickly driving within Hervey Bay, no trip over 10km. Given the driving conditions I still think it is good economy.
I changed my own oil recently and used a Shell fully synthetic 5W-40. My fuel economy is not quite as good as it was. Honda was using their mineral 5W-30 previously. I used to be able to get in the 6's/100 for highway stuff now I can't do better than 7.2/100.
Nah, the oil is spot on the full mark. It's the only thing I can think of. It runs perfectly. Shell also make a 0W-30 fully synthetic. I was going to buy that but didn't think it was needed in our hot climate.
When I took the car in for it's service Honda said they will now be servicing it with 0W-20 which I thought was too thin for 30 plus degree weather.
i try to have my oil about a couple of mm's before the full line. i find that its the sweet spot there. enough to supply the engine with oil, but not too much that it can push my fuel consumption over.
maybe next time try the 5w-30 in a fully synthetic and see if it makes any difference. i think a 0w-20 will be too thin.
