i want to know the max mpg i can get

[93F22A6]

I've gottin 32-34 on the Hwy going any where from 60-85mph on a trip to Wilmington(425 miles on one tank). Combined I'll get 24-26mpg depending on if i keep my foot out of it(360-375 miles on one tank).
I have 219,000 miles on the engine but it's still pretty fresh from the rebild at 180,000 miles.

Also here is something else you should know...


I've always heard Cb7's get better MPG at faster speeds, and I'm here to tell you, ITS TRUE to a certain degree.


I did a test, drove 55mph for 31 miles during the day, averaged 29.6 MPG.

Drove the same road again, and drove it at 62-63mph and got 32.4 MPG.


I don't understand it other then...on the auto transmission, I'm running 2400-2500rpm at 55, at 62, I'm STILL running 2,500 b/c the transmission kicks into "overdrive" and holds the rpm's down.

I don't get it, but it seems to be that cb7's really like 60-65mph.

what at 62 im at like 3000 rpm... should i put my car on the S mode then?? how u getting what u are?

[cp[mike]]

my car has around 200k and i consistently get 25mpg city driving with the automatic. on highway trips it goes a little higher than that, sometimes like 28mpg.

[Houston93CB7SE]

My engine has around 150-160k and I average around 24-25. 27 is my highest.
Kinda makes me miss my d16y8 Civic. 34mpg.
Definitely makes me glad to be out of my Infiniti J30 VG30DE.....19-20 mpg average.

[blueACCORDex]

so can anyone describe a full tune up for me...like what mostlikely would be done when it is done?


when people are saying like 400 miles on a full tank does that mean like till the fuel light comes on?? or is it before that??

[91project]

wow bro...we do need to fix ur problem! i just want the help cuz i commute alot...(everyday) and i drive like 500 miles a week...nd my tank dont get that much..so yea...planning to change the spark plugs soon..i think that will help?? cuz i havent changed it and idk when the last owner changed it...so yea...

[jas_r34]

spark plugs
spark plug wires
air filter
fuel filter
injector cleaner/seafoam

those would pretty much be the main ones...you should see a pretty good increase in mileage once those items have been replaced

[mexicanVTEC]

Damn! Who has 350k? I have an h22a with full bolt ons increased air and fuel and get like 14.6mpg. Probably has somethin to do with my right foot but yea u guys are getting incredible mialage compared to me

[blueACCORDex]

where would i buy the spark plug wires and how much do they cost?? uh..also wat does the fuel filter do?? so many parts to the car soo confusing sometimes...

[AD5OS]

City 30Mpg
Highway 36Mpg

230K

I took off the mudflaps, advanced timing, cleaned out egr ports, I do have an exhaust leak before the cat so that really helps me out with those numbers more than anything.

[The-Gr8-Ox]

i just got 27 mpg on an F22A6 with 278k, of course this was doing 75-80 on the freeway the whole time. if i kept it at 65mph, i would have gotten a good 30-32.

[blueACCORDex]

okay i have gotten 390.3 miles on 15.3 gallons...so thats about 25.5 miles per gallon...so im pretty sure the spark plugs and stuff havent been changed in a while...because i have never changed it...so idk when the previous owner changed it.....will it help me get some more mileage out of this tank??

[90Haccord]

Change the spark plug wires and plugs, all NGK. It will help as its routine maintence.
