400+miles a tank

[SiGSR]

LoL. Well, it's not the most exciting news, but with gas prices on the rise, I'm glad I drive a few efficient car.

Car has over 150,000 miles, oil changes and basic tune up done on schedule. Was taking it easy and lots of highway driving, I got 418 miles on 10.97 gallons of gas. I could've push it and got another 15-20 miles easily. It only equates to 38mph, true to the EPA claim of highway driving.

I do about 68-72mph on the highway. Speed doesn't matter too much unless you are going over 75mph or so. Even at 80mph I still average about 32-34mph. What really matters is hard acceleration and frequent changes in speed.

I've been keeping a tab on my mpg and it is usually around 34-36mpg. Would say it's about 1/3 city and 2/3 highway miles. Not a fast car, but gas efficient and reliable, go Honda!

With my B16 and driving very efficiently, I managed to only get close to 300. This was hard to do, and I never done it again.

i wish i still had my civic, i squeezed 40mpg out of it pretty regularly

i was jumping for joy when i got 25mpg on my last tank in the 240. i used to get 20-21 but its been getting better since its gotten warmer outside.

With my D16Y7, I get about 25mpg highway, and about 20mpg city. I have a bent rod in cylinder #4.

That's pretty good.

I get around 300 per tank, sucks but I do all city driving.

 

[PhntmSk8r]

best i ever got out of my h22 in my civic was 30mpg on an all highway journey... but i think my o2 sensor is dead.

i usually average 22-24mpg in a mix of city/highway and some leadfoot

Wow impressive! Good driving habits and maybe some mods help this?

The best I've gotten is 360 or so and still had a gallon left. The best my friend got was 490.

We both have 99 d16y8's.

I get about 420+ a tank. Its def nice not having to worry about getting gas so often since I got rid of my truck.

Y8 Intake mani, ghetto SRI with AEM dryflow and plenty i mean plenty of redline shifts daily. My engine just loves me that much.

 

[BuiltforSin]

how are people getting over 400miles?! I usually average around 320miles. Most I ever got were 360miles.

 

[RHennin]

^^^ 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?

 

[EK|B]

I'm guessing you guys don't use A/C either right?

 

[FRODO]

nope mine is down at the moment.

 

[JohnS.]

Drive like a granny. My buddy never shifts about 4000 and never goes over half throttle. He babies that car and doesn't find a need to drive fast and be a punk. Plus most of his driving is (or atleast was now that he's back from school) highway. He gets 400+ per tank every time.

ive pulled 37 mpg before but that was doin not over 60 all highway and not revving over 3k on takeoffs.
