Gas Mileage Challenge......
Hello Guys,
Since our car aren't that fast we don't have much to brag about with speed. But lets see who can get the best milage on 1 tank of gas......
I'll start off and people can follow if they want.
2001 Civic si
5 spd
Mods that would affect milage: Exhaust rear section only
Most mileage on 1 tank: 642 kms
How much left in tank on fill up: 11 L
Have fun

that's way off from the advertised gas milage....i don't drive the car hard either...i also let the car roll on hills and don't drive much faster than speed limit...(usually around 60km/h on city streets)
maybe i keep using up too much power cause i turn the system up..hehe

Normally I get 500km/tank and refill about 36-38l..Or if it's city driving with my sound system pretty cranked..it's terrible.. about 300km/tank
Gotta love H/O Alternators//

Rep Power: 0 I've gotten about 530 kms - 540 kms... and that's using Sunoco Plus 89.5 Octane, and seldomly using the A/C.
I'm almost empty right now... but the light hasn't come on yet! I'm trying to hang on for a lil' while longer until the gas prices go down. 73.5 is crazy!!! I'll post again after I fill the tank then run it down again. BTW, how many kms do you have left of driving after the fuel light comes on?
