704 km, one tank.

I got 704 (actually by the time i put gas in 708km :P) the needle looks way below the line but Its actually still over, I could have pushed another 20 km no problem. LOVE IT, best mileage I have gotten so far.

Re: 704 km, one tank.

My record was about 680 but I'm always afraid to go too low. Btw how big are our tanks? I thought they were 50 litres but when I go pretty low and then fill up, I only put in like 35-40 litres. No way I still have 1/5th of a tank left

Mine was 780km and not exclusively highway, my tank had maybe a 3-4 liters left when I filled up.

Re: 704 km, one tank.

I never let mine get that low but I average 500-550. I have no idea how close to empty I am because I've never gotten so low. Usually when I fill up it hits 36 liters at that point How many liters to fill up at 700kms?

Re: 704 km, one tank.

Dam, All canadians, liters, km, @__@

Our tanks are 13.2 US Gal, if i remember correctly, I'll let you guys figure the math :P

And I've been hearing that you should never let it dip that low, because all the dirt and gunk at the bottom of your tank clogs up your fuel filter.
And the filter is a PITA to change

Re: 704 km, one tank.

^ not only that but your fuel pump use the gas to keep cool. once you let tour gas get to low theres not enough fuel to cool it and it over heats. prematurely wearing the fuel pump.

Yeah, I've just picked up that tip in the past couple years. In the summer I try not to let it get below 1/3 tank

You know, I've heard that alot too. Last year I had to replace the gas tank on my 1988 Toyota and was expecting to see a bunch of crap in the bottom. Really it was like brand new inside. There's also 2 safeguards in that tank, the pump sits inside a well and theres a foam sock over the intake, I assume Honda does stuff like that as well.
