A Few General Questions

Hey all,

i have a 2003 honda civic ex 2dr and I have a few questions. Is it normal for my car to be at 4k rpms @ 80mph. My friend drives a 2002 civic lx 4dr and his car is around 3k, both manual, I was thinking engine diffenced but im not sure. Also my fuel light came on right before I parked and when i started up I had like a 7th of a tank, I wasnt on a hill either. When the fuel light comes on in a 03 civic ex how many miles roughly are left? 50 or so i was thinking... thanks,

Craig

My 03 Si (EP3) runs at 4000 rpm at 80 mph, so your car sounds about right.

The fuel tank light sucks, a lot of times it will comes on and there's still 3 or 4 gallons left in the tank.

yea the gas light is never really accurate, sometimes my gas light is on when i start the car and i drive for a little and it turns off.

When it turns on while driving and i park the car and go to start it again it turns off...its really annoying but after a while you get used to when its time to fill the car up
