whenever i have 4 people total in the car, i get crappy milage, mostly because i go longer before i shift. its probably because of that. i normally get 330-410 per tank, depends on if i have money to fill up or not, because i adjust my driving according to that lol.

driving aggressively= bad gas mileage
extra load= bad gas mileage

Whats considered driving agressively?

My car has 1300miles on it and I get like 250 to a tank. Its horrible...I don't really floor it, only once in awhile. Usually I just shift at 3k. Is it probably cuz my cars are breaking in?

check your air filter and tire pressure.

Yeah, the 2 civic''s I've had didn't start getting good MPG untill around 15-20,000 mile on the odometer. Then it went from around 30MPG to 38ish.

I use to get about 33 in the town at home, and up to 36-42 miles/gallon highway, then once I got to school, here in central Illinois, the gas quality dropped, on the trip home, i get 33 on the highway, and in town, i get about 24 [there are a lot more stop signs though]. It's really depressing.


Tankwise, i went from getting 370+ miles per tank to under 300 miles.

 
Rep Power: 331

yeah i remember when i first got my car i had to try to get to 300-320 a tank. now it just happens and goes for about 100 more

 
Rep Power: 322

yeah usually the light comes on after i use about 10-11gallons of gas. I have a auto and i average 32mpg. The highest i ever got was like 45mpg all highway.

i usually get about 300 to a tank... and i drive 25 miles on the highway to and from school everyday. it seems like i should be getting better mileage

 
Rep Power: 0

yah....im just wondering wtf is up here.....ill average 290 b4 i fill up (after using 10-11 gallons).....but i wanna know why everyone else gets much better mileage...i got near 26,000 miles on the car....any ideas as to how i can improve mileage? (and will tire pressure make a big difference, cuz mone seem a good bit low right now and have been for as while)......also, when i do actually average 290 miles per tank im driving like 110 miles on mostly highway, a good bit of city driving, and i drive mainly by myself and a bit on the aggressive side.....any ideas/comments?

dammit.....all u ppl who get like 400 miles per tank and stuff...u got any mods?!!

 
Rep Power: 0

also, anyone notices that our gas guages are kindea weird??? ...they shift quite easily and quite often!! kinda pisses me off lol

 
Rep Power: 331

i had a cheap ebay intake on my car, took it off because it got dirty and didnt wanna clean it. got a mufflertech axleback too, still get good mpg. and yes our gas gauges are pieces of ****.

where you live is it flat driving or hills because i live in hawaii and that affects it alot, wind also.....our cars are light so wind resistance is crucial

 
Rep Power: 0

ok....well i live in florida, so its flat as a pancake.....but its been quite damn windy lately, some days more than others......another posible cause i suppose??

 
Rep Power: 0

ima go fillup my tires if it will make that much of a difference.....i really wish i could get at least 350+ m9les per tank...then id be really happy.....

 
Rep Power: 0

this is one of my few complaints with my car....otherwise i love it to death!!

 
Rep Power: 0

hmmmmm.....i fill up at 7-11 usually and i get up to 310, which is what i had considered decent. however, one time i filled up with Shell gasoline and got like 255 miles when i had to fill up again.....any particular brands that are best for our car, and should i bother upgrading to 89 octane??

 
Rep Power: 282

would changing the fuel filter help? I been pondering doing that to my civic its got 126,000 km

 
Rep Power: 0

lol um i have no idea how many miles that is...but mines got like 25,587 miles on it.....and my tiresd are low, so ima gp fill them up soon. Otherwise, ima go talk to honda about this....

 
Rep Power: 322

i usually use 76 or chevron. I always get in the 30's mpg with 76 gas. Don't waste money on 89, stick with 87.

 
Rep Power: 385

i dont see how people are getting 400 in a tank unless there going 11 or 12 gallons but on average with the new car its been 29-38

 
Rep Power: 0

I average around 350-360 miles on the tank before I fill up.

 
Rep Power: 348

Did you get more air in your tires? I hear that one PSI can increase up to 1 mile per gallon, increasing a good 10+ miles per tank per psi.

 
Rep Power: 0

i will soon....just gotta find my psi guage and an assload of quarters!! lol ummmm....yah.... i think filling up my tires will help....itll prlly help my handling and traction a bit too...yall think so?
