So how bout those 4th Gen. Civic's?

[gunknad]

The most I've been able to sqeeze in is right at 10 gallons, and that was with the motor shuting off as I pulled into the station. I usually get close to 28 mpg, but my timing is advanced, and I normally run about 80-85mph daily to work.

Nope, DX has an 11.9 as well, the HF has a smaller 10.6 gal. tank.

If that's true, then why do you get such shitty gas mileage?

Ive never been able to put more than 10 gal into my 89 base model, and that was pushing it to the station, when I fill up, I can run 340 miles one tank

Damn my 89 STD ran 430 miles to a tank once.. Maybe thats because my tranny has an added 5th gear, so i do low revs at high speeds on a fuel efficient d15b1.

Like I said, I dunno where the hell the bottom of the tank is...I am currently at mile 278 of the tank..the needle is buried almost 1/4" belew the line and still have no sputtering at all, but I have never driven it more than 290 miles before I filled up, and even then I only got like 9 gal into it..Im not saying it was empty, but thats just the point where I didnt feel good about running any further. I have put 10.2 gallons into it though, just once..and I have no idea what the mileage was. But everytime since then I cant get more than 7.-8 gal. This is the tank though..Im gonna run her down and then set the needle, Id rather have it read empty accurately than read full (which it does quite well).

Sheesh! With all this talk makes me want to buy a CRX again. They are good gas savers! I drove from Chicago to Greenbay on a full tank and ended up in Green Bay with the needle just below half tank. It was 246 mile distance
