Last week i filled up my tank and decided to drive as economical as possible.

So i was thinking of starting a little contest in here


To drive the most possible miles with a full gastank.

So you fill your car to the top, and then you drive till it's empty, and then you fill it up again and see how much fuel you can take, then you calculate how much mpg you did

I'm doing very good so far.


I've driven 174miles now and the tank is still a little more then half full.

I never went above 3000rpm, it's hard but possible

Grtz

 

i get about 24 mph right now.

 

The tank is deceiving...it does not go down evenly. Good luck getting more than 260 miles before your gas light.

 

I dont know if I should have the dealers check this out, or if it's normal...

when I fill my tank, drive normal, it's takes a while for it to go down to half, but once I hit teh half marker, it seems like it leaks or something, goes down a lot faster

should I have it checked?

 

Normal. Typical Jap car. Ask anyone who owns a Honda.

 

hha mine does the same

from half to a quarter tank it seems like it drinks it up three times as fast

makes me angry haha

 

no

 

Some undercarriage aero dynamic bits will help too. Had Beatrush undertray installed and gas cosumption lowered by 1mpg.

 

I got 310miles on my first tank of gas......that was 0 boost and mostly highway miles.

 

I'm on my 5th tank of gas since i bought the car. the last 4 tanks I only manage 18-20mpg. I'm trying my best to get the best mpg out of this car on this tank, ill let you guys know how i do lol

 

What everyone is saying is right. The tank is so deceiving. Everytime im thinking im gonna ger over 300miles to the tank ; after halfway the needle plummets.......even with non-aggresive driving. Even if you had 200miles at the half mark...youd still prob. end up with 280 or 270ish before you fill up.

 

Interesting.

I drive my car nicely during the week for my commute to work, but during the weekends, I screw up my mpg by my 'spirited' driving... oh wellz!

 

HAHAHAH.. check out my profile info. what cars do I drive?
Evo IX
Honda Accord

is Bucknaked correct? Oh yell yes!!! I don't quite understand why they made it like this... but hey, just refill your tank when you hit the half way mark ;-p PLACEBO!!!

 

Yeah, once I hit half way I usually fill up the next day or so. Once it hits half way, that needle drops quick.

 

I get ~21mpg
