fuel consumption?
i am getting about 470km pe tank of both highway and city driving
about 520 for 100% all highway. is that normal cuz my old 93 civic hatchback can get like 550 kms per tank.
i thought it was something wrong with my car for getting poor mileage but i want to see what other owner has to say.

me got 5spd Si, half and half highway/city driving, around 550km until light comes on, and i do redline my car sometimes. i had it up to almost 600 until light comes on after i put on exhaust for my last tank of gas, and i rev it much more than before, haha

I have a 5 spd Si and get always 600km per tank, and sometimes if I drive nice i get 625km per tank, with about 10 L left in the tank when I fill up!!!! ( I don't redline)
Looks like my civic is performing beautifully.
I love Honda......

well i could tell the car was slower each year as time go by...cuz when i first started driving on that car it has about 90,000km and it was quite fast off the line then before i sold the car with 180,000kms and it was slow as a dog
and we change the oil every 6000km and tune up every 2 yrs
