I probably have the sickest mileage number and not in a good way. 05 civic VP coupe 130k. I drove the hell out of it. Bought it brand new. NO major problems, except for cracked exhaust manifold, nothing a cat delete header couldn't fix.

imdstrbd

Man I guess I dont drive mine enough. I have a 98 ex with just barely hitting 96k miles

6thgencivic908

ive got 165k on my 00 lx , i drive on the rougher side, but i do all the maintenence and upkeep a little earlier than normal. ie oil 2500mi, sparkplugs once a year(at least check them) and so on...

6thgencivic908

i had the same thing with the cracked manifold, i pulled off the heatsheild to take the old header off and there was a large crack goind right down the split of 2 and 3 going to the o2 sensor

Yeah it's pretty much bullshit. Honda knew there was a major design flaw with the crappy manifold welds, yet they continued to use the stupid manifold/cat combo (dx/lx). A new one from the stealership is about $700, which i think is ridiculous. They should have just kept the cat and manifold separate like the ex.

I had a Del Sol that had 355k on it, and it was still going strong when I sold it. Right now I have a 1997 civic ex coup, (automatic) with 245k on it. It gets kinda bad mileage for a honda though, imo. It only gets about 26-27 mpg city. I know that's a lot of miles on the clock but my buddy's 96 civic gets 29-30 mpg city.

for less than $700, you can convert to a full ex exhaust system, just look for used junkyard parts or ebay.

I run a '98 DX hatch with 298 000km or 185 000 miles with no problems, no burning oil.

PoorFashionista

179,500-ish on my '91 but that shouldn't surprise anyone. Just got it so can't say how it's held up, other than it's good now. Except the hood release isn't working so can't see my engine. Can't check the oil. Better go back to the place from whence it came and complain. Hopefully they'll fix it no charge but considering what I paid, they'll probably want money.

2002 ex with 248,000 because of a 112 mile commute.
I change oil every 5k
I have replaced:
cat because of weld cracks- Started cracking at about 30k miles and replaced the header at the same time (just because).
Alternator
Thermostat
Timing belt/water punp at about 180k
Clutch at the same 180k
I am pretty sure the head gasket is leaking and causing a loss of coolent through the overflow bottle.

civic dewey

I have 187k + on my 96 civic ex coupe still running strong.

i have a '00 6th gen. but how the hell do you get 400 miles per tank. the most i've gotten is 320miles. any advice on how to gte more milage?

2k1_Toaster

With me driving like a bat out of hell, I can get 360mi a tank easily. Driving cross country at 80mph I get between 420 and 460 a tank.

If you are only getting 320, then either you arent using all your fuel before you fill up, or something is seriously wrong!

Also my front struts are leaking so my mileage should be less.

dagua002

oh thats highway miles, how many miles do you get in the city per tank?

2k1_Toaster

In the city, 360mi per tank driving crazily.

I also do deliveries 5hours a day, so I do lots and lots and lots of stop and go, hard accelerations, and so on. Driving like this I get 360mi before I have to fill up. I generally fill up around ~340mi on the trip and usually it is 11.5xx gallons in.

There have been times where my trip odometer is at 380ish and I know I am just burning what is left in the lines because the tank has to be empty at that point lol. Always scary when you fill up your 12gallon tank with over 12 gallons of fuel.

Also the type of fuel makes a big difference. I ONLY use Shell or PetroCanada Premium. 91 in the states (at 6000ft-9000ft altitude so, "equivalent" of ~93octane) and 94 in Canada. When gas lept up to $2.30/gal and I was positive I would never pay that, I used generic gas. This ate my mileage like none other, and endup up costing more. So even through the $4/gal periods I used Shell's premium and it is worth it everytime. And if the marketing hype about it cleaning your engine junk is true, then sweet. But I do it for the mpgs...

dagua002

so what would you reccommend i do to get my mpg up?

2k1_Toaster

What type of gas do you use?

Also I am sure there are differences between the 6th gen 00 and 7th gen 01, maybe efficiency is one of them?

dagua002

i use regular lol i believe its 87

2k1_Toaster

Regular is 85 around here, and I have seen 83 in some pumps accross the US.

Use some good Shell gas 91/93 and see if that helps.

Silver96_D61Y8

I have a 6th Gen with 237,000+ on it and I get any where from 380-410 miles per tank depending on how I drive.

teehee

juannyboy

125k on my 04 civic lx. If you're wondering I put maybe 5,000 of those miles onto it

tehstriker88

i gots 197,000 kilometers on my 01

geetee03

You've actually wasted a ton of money, higher octane does not equal better gas mileage. Higher octane is less combustible than regular. Boosted and high compression motors require premium to avoid pre-ignition.

2000 Si. Almost 130k. Love this car so much. Besides the POS Valucrap battery I replaced with something much better, she runs well.
