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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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