hi
for some reason ever since i bought this car i have had very high fuel consumtion around 20 to 14 MPG around town and that when i keep the revs under 3K for the whole tank!, the only mods on the car are 17 in rims and a tenzo back box (4 inch straight through), ive had regular services and have recently had valve clearences done, taken the car to honda but they cant find the problem, all ive been told is that it could be due to the rims (which i dont believ) or the exhaust due to loss of backpressure, what do u guys think?, ive heard the backpressure thing mentioned before so it could be that and ive also noticed when i put the silencer back in the throttle is a LOT more responsive and it accelerates a lot quicker so if this is the case could i solve the problem by removing the centre pipe and getting a larger resonator put in? or will i have to go back to stock to get back the fuel economy?
cheerrs guys
il post some pics of the car soon
