I get about 500 kms atleast on average before redline, and there is still about 8 - 10 litres left.

So that's between 300 - 400 miles a tank before it hits redline.

No idea about why the car is only doing 222 miles a tank....maybe you should service the car, change oil, fuel filter, etc.

See thats the problem i just got the oil changed like a couple of weeks ago, wish i did it my self but no time

.... i was getting bout what u had also.... wonder if the oil they put in had anything to do with it penzoil i think it was. Man i think im gona go buy my own shit and do it my self like always.

It could be the oil they put in. Certain oils run better than others. In my old civic when I used normal oil I would get like 500 kms before pouring, when I started using Castrol Magnatec I started getting like 600 - 700 kms before pouring petrol, and there was usually 8 litres left.

I'd say buy your own oil next time. They probably put normal stuff in, and not good quality. I always use Mobil One in my teg.

Okay thankx Spunkymonkey, i always use mobil 1 as well when i do it. but i was lasy one day and it was rainny week so, i learned my lesson i guess that oil real does matter.. well thankx again bro

I am with you...we must drive crazy

[Sanchi]

Okay i am one of the crazies mofos on the freeway, and city streets just dont get in my way... i like my rpm's high cause i love the sound of my exhuast and still i get 300+ miles to the tank..

okay i normaly buy gas from the same vender every week, last week end i went to a different one cause i needed gas bad. i had like 230 miles on my last tank. after filling up i have driven 180 miles and its only half way..... any one know if the gas u buy contributes to you mileage??? im gona get over 300 like before on this tank.

The oil does play a role in gas mileage which is one of the main reasons why honda recomends 5w-40 instead of 10w-40 other then temperature range 5w makes the engines have better gas milleage becuause of its weight. The quality and type of gas also plays a role in gas mileage, all fuels are not the same! different companies put different additives in their fuels, mixing different gases could confuse the engine cpu enough to reduce efficiancy, and the cpu doesn't like changes. Hope that helps

Well said. As to why I get so more mileage...might be slighty different as mine is JDM. I use Shell Optimax or Mobil Synergy fuel which has 98 Octane rating, highest rating we can get for normal fuels here. Other than that, I usually just drive normally, don't kill my engine, and plus I don't weigh much either.

AHHHHHHH!!!.. with that in mind no wonder when i used different oil last time and filled up with mobil i got good milage, and this time with differnt oil i got bad milage with mobil. But when i tried 76 gas, i got okay milage again!!!! KICK ARSSSSS!!!!!

Thankx again guys!!

[neouser]

Up to 220 miles to a fill up if I play nice. About 130 miles if I play rough. 3rd gen Integra. Results are not typical. I remember when I used to get 350+. I should never have replaced my motor with a hamster in a wheel.

It also depends on where you pour petrol, as all service stations mix their fuels slightly differently.

[xodus917]

spunk, you guys get 98 octane over there over where you live? pump gas at a normal gas station? over here we only get 91 octane as premium and we have to buy race fuels at specialty stores for higher octane like 108.
