That's 10.77L/100kms which isn't too bad but your car is supposed to get 7.2L/100kms in the city.

It might be because of your driving style and a lot of stop and go city driving? If you really drive like the average person then that isn't normal.

355 kms on 38L of gas? Thats mileage i wish i could have.

46L for 330kms max for me. And its a 4 cylinder too :okay:

I drive a 2006 Civic Sedan AT. I always get close to 500km with 50/50 city/hwy.

Don't fret too much. Canadian mileage estimates are way off. Based on the EPA you should get 26mpg for city which is a bit more than 9l/100km. Plus you have wider tires and bigger wheels.

You saw the white manual sedan I drove for a while, I only got 8-9l/100km driving like a grandma.

BTW that's a lot better than my car..... I'm getting 11-12l/100km and that's on par or better than estimates.

Don't forget about it, it's really important!!

That's why your fuel economy is crap.

God I've got a 50L tank and it wants premium =.=

Only gets me 400 km, I thought small turbos are supposed to improve mileage

At least some of you guys are not getting bad mileage than mine
I'm getting 13.3L per 100km and I have 40L of regular. I'm still learning manual if anybody is curious.

380 out of a 40 litter tank is exactly the same as that.:badpokerface:

radioman 10-12-2012 01:53 PM

450-500km 65L tank 91 :pokerface:

westopher 10-12-2012 01:57 PM

I get about 450 to 55L all city driving. Premium gas, stage 1 remap. It was closer to 400 before I flashed the car.

Energy 10-12-2012 02:14 PM

I get ~450kms out of a ~55L fill up on premium which is pretty good considering the power of my car.

Trip computer says I'm averaging 12.4L/100kms. Your Civic should be doing waaaaay better. Get an alignment, it really makes a difference.

westopher 10-12-2012 02:19 PM

What sort of power are you putting down with that? My trip computer is fucked. It says 11.2 and I get about the same as you, although I think I may have a larger reserve tank. I never pay attention to how much I fill anymore. It makes my wallet sad.

Energy 10-12-2012 02:43 PM

385hp and 415lb-ft on a chipped 335i. My fuel economy is pretty reasonable for that, I definitely don't expect Corolla levels of fuel economy. My driving style plus a manual transmission makes a lot of difference.

mos_skeeto 10-12-2012 02:51 PM

Do you drive uphill a lot? When I had my civic I lost so much gas driving up to SFU.

freakshow 10-12-2012 02:54 PM

my wife gets ~425 on 75L...

broken_arrow 10-12-2012 02:59 PM

I get 340-360 km (100%) city driving out of a 70L tank. I noticed that I get much better mileage on Chevron 94...

kohei 10-12-2012 03:52 PM

I think I get ~400km for 85L tank on Chevron 94...
