Civic 06 fuel efficient problem

[aaronng]

hrmm..
odd..
aparently the 06 civics should be more fuel efficient than the previous models
i own a 2004 civic auto, sedan, and one full tank manages to get around 450 @ 38 - 40L on average.

If it is the VTi and VTiL, then yes, your fuel efficiency will be better if you have highway travelling. If it is the sport, then there won't be much improvement as there is no optimisation for fuel efficiency. It's meant to be "Sport" afterall

I just start using Optimax, maybe it need a while for the car to get used to it? Lol. Seriously, I got no idea about car.

Your car is designed for 91 octane. You'll get better response from 91, but if it was my car, I'd still use Optimax

Huh? I'm confused, I thought I get higher response and performance with 98 ron? Can you explain it to me?

91 ron has less bursting power than 98 which means if u put 98 the car accelerates faster however there is less torque which means if u always have alot of ppl in ur car its better off with 91

thats my exp of putting different petrol

one thing i noticed when i still had my jazz.. i always get good and consistant fuel consumption when i stick with the same petrol (BP ultimate in my case) and whenever i changed to another brand and type.. that tank of fuel will give me very bad consumption but it will improve if I keep using it for 2 or 3 tanks...
so stick with the brand/type of petrol ur using
i dont have any technical explanation for this but this conclusion came from many many experimental experience haha

I keep changing fuel; usually use Caltex since that's the only one near me. However I did notice when I tried BP 91, acceleration was better AND I travelled further.

My car's nearly on 6k. It's pretty run-in I think.

i always use Shell optimax 98ron fuel. i don't really feel like theres more power but i find that the engine revs much smoother comapred to 91 run fuel.

slow? arnt u suppose to slowly break in car for a while before u start thrashing it?

hey guys, managed to get 8.9L/100km last week in my sport on E10. Not too far off the quoted 8.0 for the auto's

thats a joke, my b16a eg gets about 480 to 550 a tank depending on how i drive it and it has a 40l tank... and its a 93 model... i thought the new civics were suposed to be fuel effecent and not built for power like the earlier b16a

Civic Sport is a 2.0L. Your b16a will drink less. R18 will drink less than b16a if you are cruising or with light throttle. When accelerating, it drinks the same as other 1.8L engines.

lets wait a bit long when there are actually a number of civics hit at least 7000km mark which we can claim they've ran-in well...
then depending on different routes, driving styles, peak of off-peak time when driving.. and combination of city and hway miles...
the thing that is almost the same for every car manufacturers... they all wanted to make their cars to be as much fuel efficient as they could,, which means during these consumption tests they might drive/accelerate slower than old granny... but lets face the reality, apart from Disel cars, how many ppl actaully achieved the figures they stated? the MDX xlaimed to be 12.9l/100km,,, but until now, with 55,000km on the odo.. the best i achieve with 50% city and 50% hway is always around 14l/100km... >.<
our 6 months old euro is consistant with 12l/100km pure city driving... so not that bad..

7000k? lol that will take me more than one and half year to achieve that. but i will wait till i fill about 2 or 3 times first. still using my first refill atm
