I get 26 - 28 mpg. about three to four times a tank

[Exeon]

tell us more... like how much city and hwy driving, air condition?, etc

maybe its because you're "gunnin it 40% of the time "

I've had my Si sedan for three weeks and I've been averaging around 27.5 mpg over 1000 miles. I drive a lot of highway miles.

[Opticon]

how many miles? it could be time for a tune up, or a dirty air filter, that can dramatically decrease gas milege.

[fishermoe14]

yea dude... thats really low... i get around 27 every tank... and im a kid so i vtec all the time..

[fox]

where are you shifting normally? it should be between 2000 and 3500 depending, for the best gas mileage.

see thats where we are different i drive roughly 50/50 highway/city..

i tried shifting early and little accel for one tank... it pretty much killed me inside.. and i only got 1 mpg better...

[hmodel88]

wtf???
idk what to say...
but you gotta give us more info.
how long you've had the car. tune ups. etc.

[RobertsD]

Dang, my driving is about 80% city driving, and I average about 25mpg. I vtec in gears 1-3 all the time. When I'm mainly highway driving, I get about 28mpg.

[kobel4k3r5]

i dont know about you but i vtec'd a lot on my last tank, went 110+ in the middle of the nite on an empty freeway for a while and still got 25+ mpg

[brzrkr626]

just because you shift at a certain rpm, does not mean that you will get great gas mileage. it also depends on how heavy footed you are, if you get what i mean, short trips=bad mileage, and turning on and off your car frequently=bad mileage

[SiCivic83]

I only get 21 all local. On the freeway I can get 28.
