Gas Mileage

[Dutchaccord]

1 liter = 3.785 gallon....

Damn! At $3.80 a gallon, I'd be back to riding my bike!

I'm paying like $1.62 a gallon now for 93. Not terrible, but I was paying as low as $1.30 last year... When I first started driving, I paid $0.87 for pisswater 87.

I'm not sure what kind of mileage I get. I only put $10 in at a time, and I can usually go for 3 days of normal driving. I guess my driving habits and state of tune get me about 20mpg.

i tend to shift kinda high sometimes, and i also go about 10 bucks every few days. maybe every 4 days. i pay around 1.70 a gallon lately, so who knows, prolly around 20 a gallon.

I'm a VTEC addict... If the road is dry, straight, and has no traffic, I take it to 6500 rpm through third... NOT good for gas, but what's the point of having a powerful car if you can't enjoy it? (responsibly...)

Just for an update, today I had 459 miles on my last tank of gas .... does anyone else this these numbers?

but i found out i didnt have a fuse on one of my ecu areas...look in tech haha

the most i have is 497 kms.... Its winter and I have to warm up the car for 15 minutes, everytime I drive. Im guessing 550-600kms for a full tank in the summer !

i hit 250 miles and just filled up today with 14.092 gallons.

wut a bitch, that shit keeps going down. this time i put 91 for the hell of it.

im going to reallly try on this tank to actually see how good i get without floorin it.

My swap taught me one thing... VTEC is NOT good for gas mileage!

aww thats soo sad.... but think of it this way- you get more power, I get more gas. I wouldnt mind some fewer miles on a tank if I had what you got

Eh, it's almost as good as the F22 was when I lay off the throttle... That's not all that often for me though!

since we are on the topic of gas mileage there is a funny thing happening to my gas needle when i brake hard the needle tends to move down and when i go at normal city speed it goes back up.
and i think i got another problem there is a ramp that i use to go to my house well it says to go 25 but i always go 30 and i turn slightly hard to the right and the oil light starts blinking but i have enough oil in my car.
and another thing is y'all know how to replace the dipstick housing?
i think mine is bent or something because the oil reading is Irregular.(it is like on the side of the stick)

Hmmm... don't know anything about the dipstick housing.

My needle reads lower (up to a 1/4 tank lower at times) whenever I make a sharp right turn.
