Civic Si: Your Gas Mileage - Page 41

kenfirch · 07-23-2008, 10:29 PM

Here's a chart of about a years worth of driving in our 07 Civic EX. Took a trip at 2,500 to 4,000 miles. Mostly 50/50 town/highway driving, with more highway driving starting at around 15,000 miles. The ScanGauge helps us be more aware of our driving habits. We use Mobil 1 oil and K&N filter. I think I'll pump up the tire pressure to see what effect that has. Glad we bought a Civic! Ken.

12-14mpg 26 1.79%
15-17mpg 19 1.31%

I'm new here and all, but I have an '08 4-dr SI and I'm averaging between 27-29 everyday driving and 31-32 on the highway.

Juice2Boost · 07-26-2008, 05:38 PM

speeder · 07-27-2008, 11:27 AM

Thats good. Are you using any hypermiling techniques or are you just driving conservatively?

Juice2Boost · 07-27-2008, 11:36 AM

i havent seen more then 21mpg yet it on constant stop and go city driving....i also only have 900 miles on my car wit still the same oil in it from honda...gonna change to synthetic soon

speeder · 07-27-2008, 11:45 AM

I hear the 0-20w Mobil1 synth is the best for this car. Does anyone else use this with positive results?

And I wouldn't worry too much about your mpg right now. Just concentrate on a good break in. Everyone seems to report pretty bad mpg until after the 1st oil change. Its just part of the process.

Mileage will continue to improve as it continues to break in until you have several thousand miles.

I bought mine with about 28k mi on it so I never had to deal with all that

***eXe*** · 07-27-2008, 12:03 PM

Usually 280ish a tank

ClevelandSI · 07-27-2008, 06:14 PM

I am at 28.5mpg almost religiously. Thats with 40 miles a day 29 highway and 11 city. I hit VTEC no less than 6 times a day. (Its why I bought the car afterall)

I have hit almost 32mpg on a tank by driving very subdued. I had just gotten my first ticket in it. But a month or so later I was back to my normal habits, just not going over the speed limit, but getting to it in a hurry.

judgeman6970 · 07-28-2008, 03:33 PM

new owner of a GGM FA5....35% tint only mod.....averaging 31 mpg on every fill-up....no complaints here!!(except that damn 3rd gear!!LOL)

speeder · 07-30-2008, 08:31 AM

Just did my 4th fill up on my new/used si. 30 mpg. Mostly driving to work and back. 17 mi each way. 80% hwy/ 20% city. I think it may be time for me to get a scan guage.

amsfoto · 07-30-2008, 11:53 AM

I managed 37!!!!!!!!

Driving from Atlanta to DC on less than one and a half tanks of gas. I love this car. Just stay under 70 and use cruise a lot and you will see an insane jump in mileage. When I drive an average of 80 or over I only get 32 max, but if you are 65-70 you can easily get near 40. If one was to stay under 60 on the highway I believe 40+ is achievable.

speeder · 07-30-2008, 12:08 PM

What kind of mileage do you get on your everyday driving. Local only.

amsfoto · 07-30-2008, 12:12 PM

I usually get 25 around the city, but I drive like a maniac. Worst I got was 19 and that was one whole tank of vtec on a track.

Thanks for posting what you get on a tank tracking your car. I was always curious about that.

BTW, I'm able to routinely get 40-42 MPG on the ~160 mile trip from my house to Los Angeles International Airport. Amazing since the drive back included a cold start in traffic and then stop-n-go for the next 15-20 miles. I keep it at 65 except for coasting down hills where I'm willing to let it go to 75 before I'll drop it back in gear to get the advantage of shutting off the injectors.

Wow!!! I drive like a grandma and get 30 and you drive like a maniac and get 25. I'm wondering if those 5 mpg are worth it.

***fiji06si13*** · 07-30-2008, 07:36 PM

I got 35mpg on the way to the Catskills this past winter in my Si...

Nightwish · 07-30-2008, 07:42 PM

I get 31-32 with mixed city and highway driving.
