2007 Civic Gas problem

Hi.. everyone

I have to 2007 Civic 4dr Automatic DX model car

My car in total can drive about 440-460KM per gas tank..
While I seen other people with either 2006 or 2007 Civic drive lot more KM.

I do would say I drive equal amount on local roads and on the highway.

My question is how many KM normal a hondo civic 2007 DX drive. What is usually the issue when the car burns gas quickly?

if anyone can help me out that would be great

Re: 2007 Civic Gas problem

Driving habits are the #1 reason everybody gets different gas mileages from identical cars.

Give the car to a teenage Fast-n-Furious gearhead and you might not see 150km/tank out of the car.
Give the car to a responsible adult taking the car on a highway trip, it might get 5-600km/tank.



There is more, but I don't feel like explaining all the variables.
Air up your tires.

Don't push the engine too hard.


It's a four cylinder, don't expect it to get up quickly.

My average commute gets me around 280 miles before fill-up(with about a gallon or two left)
Approximately 451 km.
If I take it real easy, slow it down I can get 320 out of it
515 km.

One trip that was at 55mph the whole time and I tried my hardest to drive efficiently got me 395 miles before fill-up(Again, with about a gallon left)
636 km

Like e-zone said, keep your air pressures up, maybe check your air filter if you drive in an area with a lot of dust/smog. Don't run the AC a lot and if you have high electrical loads(i.e. subwoofers) turn them off.
An air filter is most efficient about half-way through it's life though(or so I've heard) so if you replace it don't expect an immediate change.

You could also try switching to top tier gasoline, boosted my mpg by about 3-4 (google top tier gasoline)

EDIT: I drive a 2006 Lx automatic.

A clean air filter gains you no gas mileage.
A dirty air filter does not hurt gas mileage.
