Gas mileage..

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but what does everyone get for their gas mileage?

I think I get about 29.4 mpg...

i think i get around 25-26mpg with timing thats off :o
ill check for sure next time i fill up
less if im getting on it a lot though

Shit, i ride my car VERY HARD!!!! and i get like 22 -25 mpg!! and thats with HIGH OCTANE!!! PREMIUM!! And that shit aint cheap here in NY!!! But i wanna keep my baby clean!! That and i change my oil every 2500 miles!! Well, is there a reason i am getting shitty gas mileage? i thouhgt i was suposed to get like 35 mpg or so, but i am all city driving, well, actually its Highway, but i am sitting in trafic both ways!! and i inch and shit! so i'm not getting the best mpg... If I took my car on a long ass trip i would get better gas mileage i supose.....

When was your last tune up? Fuel filter, plugs, etc.. Also, you could be running a little rich, maybe?

I get almost 38mpg/500 miles to a fillup, in my G20. :bloated:

About 350 miles to a fillup in my Civic.

with my d16z6 swap and running the piss out of it, i think i refuelled @ 265 miles last tank.

I'm getting around 30mpg

Between 27-32 for me. depends on how hard i've been driving

i have new plugs, thats about it.... Should i get a tune up?

I average about 31-32.. 30-31 with A/C in the summer. I drive the ol' d15 pretty hard....I used to avg. 34-36 and got 40 once when it was newer on a trip...but the best I can muster now is about 33 on a trip with 203,000 miles. :(

I even got 27MPG this summer when I towed a 19' boat behind it, the family (3 of us) and weekend camping gearfor a trip to VA and back. :eek: ;)

Well not sure how much i do exactly ... but ..... every day i put £10 worth of petrol in .. now thats just about half a tank and i use that in a day :( but i do rag my car around a lot hehe .. i think its abotu time the engine blew up hehe.... by the time i had my old escort this long i had blown up 3 engines :)
...


anyway i think on average i do about 40 miles a day and that eats up half a tan kof petrol :( ... my mates 944 dont even use that much lol and that a 2.5l engine hehe

It never hurts.

when i was drivin my car i would get like 28-32 mpg, that was running it pretty hard and in very high rpm... but now when i start it occassionally it runs rich as all hell, can just smell the gas, and it back fires like there is no tommorrow once its warmed up, haven't really got to check things out with it though... my o2 is prolly shit again... after sitting and what not... my tps is prolly kicked over too... and lord only knows what else is...

I get around 220 miles to a tank (9.5 gallons or at red line). Pretty shitty gas mileage. I think my tranny is spraying oil on my cat becuz everythime after I drive my car smells really bad and there is crap all over my cat. Anyone have an explanation for my piss more mileage and a way to fix the tranny problem without scalding myself with hot oil?

i think i get about 25 to 30 mpg, depends how how im driving that week, and wether i'm spraying or not.....lol

Hmmm.....I think im getting crappy gas mileage. I think i refuel at like 250-260 and thats shifting at like 3.5 - 4, the 205K miles on my car probably dont help.

I drove 341 miles on 8.5 gallons of gas. That equals 40mpg. I dont know how I get that good of mileage but i do...maybe because my car is light, crazy considering my setup:
ZC
ZC trans
CAI/H/E
89 Teg ecu.

25-29 running 91 octane - depending on how hard I drive. Its hard not to rev past 5500. :D

Before I had the HF engine and easily got 40 MPG.

Oh yeah, every site that lists CRX specs shows the HF with a 10.6 gal. fuel tank, but mine tops off at 7.5. What do you other guys top off at?

On the freeway (800km+ trips) I get about 7.3 liters/100km.

Around town and on the VTEC I get 10-12 liters/100km - ouch with a 40 liter tank :D

12 MPG on the DX motor thats is currently in my Si.

:eek:.... now thats bad gas mileage...

So, what do they actually do in a tune up? can i do it myself?

damn guys, i usually get like 37-40 mpg. but that is with an all stock dx with like 90k miles on it, so i guess that helps. i usually get around 400 miles to the tank and i fill it up with 10 gallons.

i get 33mpg on the average.

Yes, you'll need to get new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and 02 sensor....cleaning your injectors is good too.

I just got new plugs, and i am gonna get a set of MSD wires, so, all i need to do is get o2 sensor, dizzy cap and rotor. Is there a how to for changing cap and rotors? Oh, and i am gonna do my o2 sensor, but i read before about someone using aftermarket o2 sensors and they sucked ass.... So, which o2 sensor should i get?

Dammit...you are gonna make us do the math aren't you?? :rolleyes:
let's see - 100km = ~62miles....
1 litre = ~33.8 oz =~ .264 gallons

7.3 liters = ~1.92 gallons / 62 miles = 32.291 MPG - not too bad
12 liters = ~3.17 gallons / 62 miles = 19.56 MPG - :eek:

My advice = stay off the VTEC :bloated: :D :flipa: :silly2:

My buddy joe lives his life in the temple of VTEC... He gets about 20 mpg...

Changing the cap and rotor is as easy as taking your rims off.
Mark and pull off all the spark plug wires...get a 8mm? socket and take off the 3 or 4 silver bolts that hold on the cap....get a philips screwdriver and take off the single bolt that holds the rotor.....replace rotor..make sure you screw it on tight!....assembly is opp. of removal.

i have a 94 civic lx 4-door d15 142k miles gets about 23-26 city 33 hwy

If i drive itlike a grandad, i can get 200 miles out of a full tank of juice

i used to get about 220 miles out of my crx tank, which sucked dick, that turns out o like 22mpg city.

but on a trip down to myrtle beach one summer, doing 110mph 90% of the time:) i got 43mpg.

in my old sedan, i got about 28-29 mpg. having an automatic helps me keep my gas milage constant ... the info ive read online said the sedan was supposed to hit like 32 Hwy / 29 city i think. and the hatch is supposed to go like 32-37 Hwy / 28-32 city depending on model and what not. if you fit into those ranges you should be doing alright.

I get like 30-31 mpg from city and highway so I guess I'm doing alright.....I thought I was low since a lot of people were talking about getting 35-40 but I didnt take the sedan factor into consideration

I GET ABOUT 30 MPG.....MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAD A 91 STD AND DROVE IT LIKE 8 MILES A DAY AND FILLED IT UP ONCE A MONTH :eek:

Damn man, you drove all the way to myrtle from new york. That's a pretty long trip.

I'm not sure what i get it's something around 28 or 29 but on a trip to atlanta I got 42 doing about 85.

i reached an all time high yesturday at 323 miles for a tank so 323/11.9=27mpg, not too bad...when i race around i only get like 22

on the way back from Ami's house in Oregon the second time I made it to my house in cali on less than a tank. my trip odometer was around 410 when i filled it up again...i got 40mpg the whole way.

last night was the best i have ever gotten 358 miles out of a tank!

The best i ever got was 413 miles on a tank. I forgot to get gas after work & i was half-way home & i heard my fuel pump buzzing.... luckily i was only a few blocks a gas station. The best i ever got was in my new 95 civic coupe.... Nor Cal to L.A. on 1 tank.... 49mpg @ 80mph.

Isn't a bunghole either the hole or the stopper that goes in the hole of one of those old wooden kegs?
