I get 36-40 mpg depending on how much highway and city driving i do. 34 mpg with the A/c on. With only a 10 gallon tank. i can't go as far as some of you guys can. I'm sure if i went all highway i could get over 40 mpg.

^^^ I dunno man, but I def. get 420+ on mine. I dont have much done to the motor just i/h and the motor is in good shape w/ 101000 on it. You have anything major done to yours?
with nitrous its hard not to give a little throttle on the onramps to the intertstates.

I drove like a grandpa right after I did a tune up on my d16y8. I got a little over 300 with about 45 minutes on the AC. This is pretty good right?

I usually get 400+ out of a full tank...and that is shifting around 2500-3000 and not going any faster than 70-75 on the highway..and keeping it in 5th as much as possible when driving around town.

geez... all these high numbers. the most i've gotten is 340 i think. i get around 290-310 consistently. maybe having an auto has to do with it?

Yeah, auto uses more gas than manual cars. :(

Just pumped again earlier, 374 miles from 9.23 gallons which equates to about 40.5mpg. Lots of highway mileage. There's about another 2 gallon I could've driven... perhaps another 60-80 miles?

Sometimes driving technique helps in saving gas. Steady acceleration, driving in highest gear possible, slowing down but not stopping completely, etc. For your tune ups, regular oil change, check ignition system; spark plugs/wires, distributor cap and rotor and have a clean air filter. And then pump your tires up a little more than the recommended pressures, I have mine at 40lbs. front, 38lbs. rear.

I also pump from Chevron whenever possible. That extra $2-3 you paid is well worth it for the engine. My last smog check had 0% CO output. It also might just be a mental thing, but the butt dyno says gas at the more expensive gas stations (Chevron, Shell, 76) makes the car run more powerful.

dont civics and integra have different size tanks? its much more acurate to go by mpg anyways

if you really concerned about mpt you can have a custom tank made so that it is huge

when i got my teg it was getting 18-19 mpg, now i have it up to 25-30mpg

28MPG with a fair amount of boosing going on! I was excited to see that when I thought about how much I got on my car, it seems to be pretty consistent because I cant keep my foot out of boost.
