Gas Mileage Challenge......
 
Hello Guys,
Since our car aren't that fast we don't have much to brag about with speed. But lets see who can get the best milage on 1 tank of gas......
I'll start off and people can follow if they want.



2001 Civic si
5 spd
Mods that would affect milage: Exhaust rear section only
Most mileage on 1 tank: 642 kms
How much left in tank on fill up: 11 L

Have fun

MSoft 09-18-2002 10:43 AM

My car rides like sh|t for mileage, coz I drive D/T. I usually have to fillup around 480km and around 36L or so... What's the size of the tank?

FurBall 09-18-2002 11:33 AM

Calculate your KM/L.....

Car: 2001 Acura EL, Auto, no engine mods
driving style: 90% highway

I get: 6.25L / 100km....

Pretty close to the advertised mileage [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

MSoft 09-18-2002 11:37 AM

So I had like 7.25 on city driving on stock... Normal. Will know in a few days how Injen CAI affects that.

macrossranma 09-18-2002 12:35 PM

after driving 100km after initial fill up, i filled the tank back to full...it took 10L to fill up the tank...=(

that's way off from the advertised gas milage....i don't drive the car hard either...i also let the car roll on hills and don't drive much faster than speed limit...(usually around 60km/h on city streets)

maybe i keep using up too much power cause i turn the system up..hehe

BlueTroll 09-19-2002 12:36 PM

MiYuki 09-23-2002 01:47 PM

Eh, I never really fill up last minute due to the distance I'm required to drive everyday... really sketchy business... so, who won this challenge anyways? Any car pushing thereafter? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

mohawkboom 09-25-2002 04:19 AM

732km's
Downhill highway driving on my road trip to NS
87 Octane Corner store gas (unsure of brand)

when I refilled the tank I put in 43.4L of gas [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]..

Normally I get 500km/tank and refill about 36-38l..Or if it's city driving with my sound system pretty cranked..it's terrible.. about 300km/tank

Gotta love H/O Alternators//

How does the sound system affect mileage?

L23Tan 09-25-2002 12:39 PM

I've gotten about 530 kms - 540 kms... and that's using Sunoco Plus 89.5 Octane, and seldomly using the A/C.

I'm almost empty right now... but the light hasn't come on yet! I'm trying to hang on for a lil' while longer until the gas prices go down. 73.5 is crazy!!! I'll post again after I fill the tank then run it down again. BTW, how many kms do you have left of driving after the fuel light comes on?

Haha, I doubt anyone would try and find that out... So ghetto to run out of gas and have to hike to a gas station... I've seen ppl do that on the DVP when gas prices were 79 and such.
