404 Miles on one tank to vegas
 

Hey guys,

I went to vegas this weekend for new years and drove from Orange County, CA. I filled up to about 11.5 gallons and got all the way to vegas and almost all the way back. My gas light turned on at 404 miles so i pulled over and got some gas. Just wanted to share with everyone.

nice what was the avg speed you were going

i was doing about 70-75 in the range of 3200rpm-3600rpm somewhere in that range. I was also worried about my CAI cause it was raining pretty crazy sometimes on the way home. And i had just read on this forum about a couple of motors giving up the ghost because there CAI sucked up a puddle.

I get 400 minimum with every tank. I drive 50/50 city/highway. I drive 80 on the highway.

420:

thats not that great...What model do you have? An EX auto? The model makes all the difference in the world.

I get a minimum of 700 mpg all city. I have a twin turbo 900 rwhp fully built supra motor on my tricycle

i have a 5 speed EX, if you get 50mpg does that mean you have a DX Value Package or what?

lol. owned.

50/50, wtf.

its a gutted DX coupe lol

You could have gone longer, if you DARE! DRIVE PAST THE RED LINE!!! I get at least 420 miles per tankfull.

here how about this, i paid an extra $888 some odd dollars when i bought my car for some extended warranty/ roadside assitance thing from Honda. It said that basically if you run out of gas they will come give you some or something like, maybe i should just drive until its absolutely sputtering to a halt then we will know the max for sure, ahahaah

I havnt searched the forum much, but I heard that running it too low can cauase the fuel pumps to get too hot and sometimes burn out? Is that true?

not 50/50 mpg i mean i drive 50% on the highway 50% on the city.

yeah then u get about what i get then

The light comes on to alert you that your gas is getting low, not that your about to stall out! You bragged about your mileage, now take some ball breaking......it's called humor........read my last post......that's an example of it! You need more fiber in your diet four twenty**, or at least smoke some more!

yes I do that is why my sn is 2001ssmlxem2. because i have a 2003 red dx.

wouldnt that mean that you have a 2001 Satin Silver Metalic LX Civic Coupe, hahahah :lol:

Mine was humor too, read at the end i even say ahahaha see im laughing at the humor :sweet:

i just went 380 miles on 9.5 gallons and i didnt reach the fuel light yet, but since it was morning and i like buying my gas then, i just bought more, coulda gone maybe 20 - 30 more miles

I'm not surprised either. I used to get a constant 425 miles to the tank on my '02 EX 5-spd as well..

i too went from south orange county to vegas for a weekend no ttoo long ago drove there back and around vegas the whole time on one tank. i forgot the actual milage but got 42.xx mpg.

think abou this 420 you pulled off at 404 with 3 gallons left in the tank. these cars have a 13.2 gal tank and the light comes on when you have 3 gallons left. so realistically you could have gone another 90-100 miles before filling up.

damn thats crazy lol

man forget all that i can top that, i can make one tank of gas last forever. just leave the car in the garage and make the gf take me everywhere hahaha

yeah i need to get on that plan ;-0

my girls got a scion tc and i like drivin it

yeah i got spanked by one a few weeks ago, and there not that much money.
