Fuel saving tips:
For us Civic drivers, If you've been driving for long enough, you'll notice you have to push ur car a tad bit more when you have a passenger sitting with you and you'll most probably have to floor it up a hill when you're driving 4 people . So how much does the person weigh? That much extra weight causes you to accelerate more, using more fuel.
Hey thanks Clem, nice writeup! With the above though, I guess you notice that a fair bit everyday :P
r u sure u r using all the fuel in the tank. maybe ur gauge is alil off, does the fuel light turn on? had dat prob with my bro ek gli, the pin would point to E but the light dnt turn on

who you talking to?
cos i get that problem...so wats with that?
lately i have been averaging around 8L/100kms or getting over 500kms regularly, filling up around 40L each time, i used to get 400+ish but that was when my thermo was stuffed ever since i changed it, fuel efficiency has gone up . this is with a combination of highway and city driving and good a hit here and there.
I just did 550km's... (it was nearly empty the light turned on when i was on a hill so i though i go fill up but by the time i got 2 the petrol station light was off)
Thats including:
Driving up 2 wakefield park - from sydney
Doing aprox 20 laps (was 2 hot 2 do be on the track with helmet and all-stayd and took pics)
Drove back from wakefield park - Back to sydney
Bit of city driving
The car is a Civic VTI 96'
With:
17" wheels
Muffler
