2003 EX coupe auto
45k
regular 87 octane
mostly highway, I drive kinda fast but not a hard accelerator - 80'ish mph avg. almost always use a/c
get about 330 until the low fuel light on most fuels, get 340-360 on bp fuel. If it's 100% highway I expect 360 out of it.
Stock everything mechanical.
Oil changed at dealer, whatever stock oil type is.

Some of you guys get really good mileage! Dang.. my car has been well maintained, and I'm the only owner.. it's clean, nicely driven, always changed oil.. wonder why I am not getting the milage of the others. Must be the occasional road rage/more aggressive driving style? I am jelous of these 03's getting over 400 miles on one tank.. I don't even dream of that, 360 makes my day a happy one! hehe :)

the only way to get hi mileage is with constant freeway driving, not alot of accessories on, using cruise, around 65mph or 55. In the city, I only get around 20-24mpg.

I wish I could say I get nice mileage on the freeway, but I dont. 30 MPG is the most I am getting right now, and that is with highway driving.

gearbox 08-26-2005 11:17 PM

try some fp60, it gave me 4mpg extra after a month or so.

I was going to order some, but I am tight on money right now so I have to hold off. I need to get a job fast though cause gas prices are supposed to rise again next week. Fuk I cant imagine paying around $3 for gas. it is almost costing me $30 to fill up.

gearbox 08-26-2005 11:34 PM

fill up 4 gallons at a time if you can. Better mileage with 50lbs less weight.

2005 EX SE 5 SPD Manual

33-34 for entire 8,000 miles that are on it mostly 50-50 driving.

5w-20 Mobil 1 after breakin period.

Doesn't seem to matter what I do I always get the same mileage.

I haven't been on any long trips to see what it will get on all highway but I would hope it would get closer to 40.

A03 09-02-2005 04:51 PM

MPG or milage per tank. He told us about his car, but not what kind of fuel mileage he is getting.

I have an 02 ex coupe automatic and I am lucky if I can get 300 Miles to a tank, there is definetly something wrong? I have 18"s, and I think they may have effected it.

Oh sorry Mr.A03, i would guestimate around 30-34 mpg...

midnightblueEX 09-03-2005 12:11 PM

lol you think 18's may effect it.. they do effect it.

jttegx 09-04-2005 03:08 AM

mostly if there heavy cast rims (adr/rs limited/tenzo/katana/rota/etc)

A03 09-05-2005 12:59 AM

(see past posts in this thread for car and driving style info)

I went on a little drive and gassed up at an interstate Mobil station this past weekend.

I drove all the miles in one day, and it was 95% on the highway, about 5% on back country roads around 45-50mph with few stops. Somehow I pulled 407.8 miles out of one tank of regular before the low fuel light came on. I stopped very soon to fill up after seeing the light and the car would only take 9.28gal. I think the gas I refilled with was foaming up, and there was open space that could not be filled in the tank. If the tank were actually full, I would have gotten 43.94mpg on that trip!

It is the BEST I've ever seen out of the civic as far as mileage goes. I know a lot is attributed to constant driving without the acceleration, the weather probably helped.. and who knows.. maybe fluke gasoline that was extra good? Previously 360mi was about the best I could hope for, now I have seen it go beyond +40 miles of what I thought was the best it could do.

I'm not saying yet that Mobil gas is greatest, but I am certainly going to try it again and see if my mileage stays high. I was shocked when it hit 400 and even more when it kept going past 400. It's a good thing, especially now.. last week it was $3.59 for regular here.. today it's 2.99 in a lot of stations. I guess that is somthing to be happy about? sad, eh?

first tank of gas i got 33mpg
second tank of gas i got 26mpg :(
still on the third, its a hair above half and i've only gone 110 miles or so

i'm still trying to figure out why my mileage sucks ass. i like the car but i've been pretty dissappointed with the mpg. the ****ing sticker says 32 city. i get 26 city/highway. wtf. i'm about to try going to another gas station.
