350.1 miles to the Tank ---SI Sedan

[Cooter007]

Pretty darn good! Took 10.707 gallons to fill it up. By my calculations that's 32.69 MPG. There are some inconsistencies at the top of the tank (when to stop squeezing gas into the tank) but I normally stop the first time the pump handle clicks off. About 85% highway driving and I usually hit the VTEC fun zone at least a couple of times a day.

Wow.... Mine was down to the last bar at 10.7 gallons! I wonder how much further I could have driven????

[liquidr1]

399.9 miles on one tank here. i was running on fumes as i pulled into the gas station. this was on a long trip. almost all highway miles with no vtec

[Special Ringpop]

Most mileage per gallon I ever had was 37. I posted the trip meter and gas receipt a while back.

[inyong1988]

280 here. lol

[hatr3d]

Best so far is 363 on 11 gallons of straight highway driving. That was my second tank of fuel.

I still don't have 1,000 miles on the car yet.

[laughoutlloyd8]

I calculated mine yesterday and got 445.3 with 11.7 gallon, this was my best so far with mixed highway and streets

I don't see how you guys have fun in the Si while getting 350+

Doesn't the car have a 13 gallon tank, wow you ran it down to fumes! I usually take just over 11 gallons when I fill up and that's with the low fuel light on.

Damnit! The best I did was on this very tank, 320 miles. I need to stop for some V-Power on the way home. I've noticed that I get WAY better gas milage when I have to use the highway a lot (duuuh, right? lol) but I can't get anything over 320...how do joo do it?

[07mugencivic]

200...for me...vtec baby all day

[Vegas06si]

I've never had a car that redlined at 8,000 RPM before. If any of my previous rides would have gone anywhere near that point, it would have been nuclear meltdown!

With that being said, I'm still getting my feet wet with really winding this up. I hit the VTEC range a few times a day, but I don't live in it.

I don't know, sure its fun to crack it open and let it go, but I didn't really get this car for that purpose. I wanted something good on gas, stylish and "fun to drive".

If I would have been looking for a "sports car", I would have bought an Evo, STi or an 03-04 Cobra.

Use the highway whenever possible, stay out of VTEC, use the highest gear possible, stay out of VTEC, use the cruise whenever possible (highway of course) and stay out of VTEC. :)

Seriously, to get those kind of numbers you almost have to be strictly highway driving. If I could average over 32-33 MPG in the city with this car, I would crap a golden egg!

[mdenning]

I vtec maybe a couple times (1st and 2nd gear, usually) a drive, and I still don't get anywhere near 300. wataf

edit - of course, im usually doing city driving and almost always green lights
