It always seemed to me that the first half of the tank took far longer to burn than the second half... maybe because I just didn't empty the tank out all the way every time.

i have a DC sports 4-1 stainless header, GSR intake manifold, (very) short ram intake, and a 2.5" exhaust.

My car is an 02 lx with a D17A2 motor and ecu running the stock ex cat.

When in town, i shift at about 3500-4000. And i dont hardly ever give it past 1/2 throttle.

I have driven about 80 miles to get my gas guage to move from 1/2 to 3/8. I know exactly how my gas guage works. I know i will get quite a bit more than 400 miles on this tank. I am expecting about 420.

That's how it worked for me. around 15,000 miles my milage jumped on both the civics. You can use the FP60 fuel stuff, but wait until you have about 20k miles before using the LC20 oil treamtent.


Every car I've put the Fp60 in I've got better MPG out of. FOr instance I get almost 20 MPG out of my F150, where I normally get around 14-15. Same with my GSR, I get around 30 normally, and 40 with the fp60.

so should i wait till 15k to 20k miles before i use the FP60 as well?? because i used to use Plus gas at chevron before i knew it didnt do crap and that putting regular was better, and i think it's been about 3 or 4 fill ups since i've started using regular.. you think that would make a difference as well?
