full tank of gas - Page 5

Flawless22 · 04-19-2008, 11:42 AM

Kinda relates but at how many miles do you guys lose a bar or 2?

***thatsnotstock*** · 04-19-2008, 11:55 AM

im not one to promote fuel additives, but I just ran some STP fuel system cleaner through my SI.

In tbe 3 tanks since - I've gone from averaging 25mpg to about 27.

devilman2075 · 04-19-2008, 05:36 PM

well when i fill up at about 1/4 tank left maybe a little less i usually have around 300+ miles driven so for the 3-4 gallons left i could probably get to 400 miles but its not good to drive down low on the guage

si my car · 04-19-2008, 05:45 PM

i first started shifting around 3k every gear when i got my car... only about 23 mpg but i guess i was luggin my car. as soon as i started shifting at the recommended shift points, it shot up to 27. and thats like 50/50. haha i wonder what it'll be like after i get my first oil change.

Edrik · 04-19-2008, 08:34 PM

I average about 20 mpg and thats with mostly city driving. Not too bad, about the same as I got with my LS Integra.

BuT I DRIVE A LX!!! so much for better MPG

whats ur freeway/city?

mine is like 10%/90%

I seem to get about 280 miles per tank city, but i never get above 40mph on this military post, when i get on the interstate, i seem to get about 415-420 on a tank. pretty damn good mileage if you ask me!

***07mugencivic*** · 04-19-2008, 09:53 PM

Wow! That's amazing! You must be the king of hypermiling!

j/k

That's pretty good really--I've never gotten more than 305 miles on a tank, and that was pushin fumes.

packers04 · 04-20-2008, 08:27 PM

Either that or Exxon 93. My understanding is Exxon, Shell and BP all come from the same source. That's just something I heard, of course.

As for paying more for 93, I just try not to get upset over it. The price of gasoline is going nowhere but up anyway, regardless of how I feel about it.

I

a little less nowadays.

06Honda06SI · 04-21-2008, 12:59 AM

this was my first full up since i got my car, got it on the 15th, neways yea i wanted to get shell v-power but i got 91 instead is this bad??? sorry if im asking stupid questions its I just got my car and now i wanna make sure im doing the right thing thanks in advance!

$3.88 a gallon is the cheapest I can find around here. Actually the 92 at Speedway is more expensive then the 93 at Shell. Funny how it's one price then a little ways down the street it's another.

I don't think so... as long as ur usin premium you should be fine no matter what octane.. don't quote me on that tho. I just wouldn't be jumpin around puttin different octanes in it all the time.. especially goin from premium to mid-grade and back again. my mom used to have a Mercury Marauder...premium only. And she let someone use it and they didn't know that.. they put regular in it and man, the sounds that were comin outta that thing.. not good.

20strong · 04-21-2008, 06:14 AM

About 28 MPG on average for my wife and about 23 or so for me. I am going to try filling up regularly and see if I can get better gas milage by only using a 1/4 tank at a time.

packers04 · 04-21-2008, 04:27 PM

we talking si or non? You must use premium in si.

06Honda06SI · 04-21-2008, 09:17 PM

Ya we are talking about an SI and i put in 91. Anyways thanks for the information

SilverBane · 04-22-2008, 03:52 AM

My tanks are usually about 320 miles, that is about 60% highway (80mph or more) and 40% city.

However, I am paying about $4.75 per gallon up here in canada right now. Costs about $60 to fill the tank.

Oh well...

civicex808 · 04-23-2008, 03:59 AM

Whats wrong with y'all. I get around 350+ on my civic...
