Improving Gas Mileage

[Sabes]

As everyone who owns an accord knows, mileage is the shits. Has anyone achieved a near 30mpg in the city with one of these. If so what modifications do you have? Did you tune it?

I think that with quality intake, header, and exhaust(including removed cat) + a chipped and tuned ecu with EGR and EVAP turned off it should be possible.

What do you think?

30 city would be almost impossible.

^^^^^ impposible for our accord...but pretty easy to maintain for those 1.5, 1.6 vehicles...lmao

So that's it eh? No chance? What's the most you guys have got in the city?

i do mostly highway and get 33 mpg easy.

pump full tank and try driving like a grandma... go really soft on the gas pedal.

Got 22mpg in the city with my exr automatic driving this way which is right on par with the factory claimed mileage

I never have a full tank of gas to know how much mpg's I have, I forgot the calculation for it anyways, I was told is to be a full tank..

I have a bad 02. So I no my mpg's r low I can even smell the gas, once that's fixed, I would like to change the fuel filter.

I drive like a granny since I have a 4door now.

with the up to date tune ups and a replaced fuel filter. i dont see much better than 25 but even that is pushing it. u will also need to clean out ur egr system and maybe seafoam the bitch.

Turning the EGR and EVAP off won't increase your mileage... they'll actually decrease it a bit. So don't do that.

I'm thinking a turbo cam might help you. Less overlap -> less unburned fuel getting sent out the exhaust. You'll lose some power though.

a custom cam, and a good tune, and you should be able to hit 26-27mpg
unfortunately egr and evap gets eliminted once you use a p06, p28, etc
civic or teggys dont use egr

another way, would be using a apex or fuel controler and tuning with that, and still keep your egr, dont know how your o2 will react to such a lean mix

also, automatic and these goals are a no-no, your best bet is a LX-DX tranny with 22" rims

i do mostly highway as well but dont try to get the best milage and i usually get around 24-25mpg

[ASTCB7]

right now i filled up 11 gallons and i drive like a grandma going 55 to 60 mph. I have a full tank of gas and i drove 107 miles so far.
I drive about sixty miles a day, about 4 gallons.

And i still have a fill tank. You should be getting aleast 150 miles by your half point

I forgot about wheel size.

I know the automatic wagon tranny is geared differently for better mileage... Maybe the manual is the same? Custom gearing + huge tires would help though.

It doesn't work that way....
Trust me, if it did, I'd be rolling around with 26s and a 80 profile.
80 = 185/26/80
