Fuel Consumption

What ways can I go about in testing how much petrol my Integra Gsi uses?
It seems to use alot on just a little trip.

fill up your tank to the max, and reset your odometer
next time you fill up a full tank, divide the number of k's (from your odometer) by the amount of fuel (litres), and it will give you a km/L reading

should be somewhere around the 10km/L mark

once you've done THAT and actually established you DO actually have some bad milage going on, you can try:

1. Replace/clean and gap your sparkplugs,

2. Re-set your [acronym:d2df0aea40="Engine Control Unit"]ECU[/acronym:d2df0aea40].

Alright cool

Could anyone provide me statistics on their consumption, so I could compare my results.

well in my [acronym:fecdecf2dc="Single Overhead Cam"]SOHC[/acronym:fecdecf2dc] [acronym:fecdecf2dc="Valve Timing and lift Electronic Control"]VTEC[/acronym:fecdecf2dc] with chipped [acronym:fecdecf2dc="Engine Control Unit"]ECU[/acronym:fecdecf2dc], intake and exhaust, just did 615KM's off 50L..
with about 400KM's of country driving and lots of [acronym:fecdecf2dc="Valve Timing and lift Electronic Control"]VTEC[/acronym:fecdecf2dc] action.. so that's about 12.3Km/L

DC2R= 330-410

Lowest being thrashing it most of the tank
Highest being driving it normal with an occasional thrash :twisted:

**EG_2_TEG** · 23-07-2004 01:51 AM

mines somewhere between 8-11km/L
8 = car gettin trashed
11 = doin high speed (190km/h) runs

i do about 9L/100

or around 500kms per 45L (when the light stays on)

**Sp3rMz** · 23-07-2004 09:26 AM

for those who own dc2r...on average how long does a full tank of gas last u? week or two weeks?

**Da1nONLY** · 23-07-2004 09:47 AM

well for me..i do a lot of travelling around,
full tank lasts me 4 days?
averaging 500Km per tank..thats about 41Litres
around $40 per tank.
that includes a thrash every now and then =)

well i own an intergra gsi with headers and full exhaust and i do about 400km high way driving, but short trips which involve starting, stopping and thrashing around 350km using 40 litres, that is also running on bp ultimate.
