How much mileage do you get BEFORE the gas light comes on????

[typeruz]

i get about 220 miles before it clicks on...with mixed street and highway, lot of revving/some vtecing. stock engine.

that works out to about 21 miles per gallon. i'm thinking this is too low.

could something be wrong??? i'll be replacing the PCV valve next week to rule that out.

also, the previous owner switched out the fuel rail to an AEM fuel rail and he added a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel filter........
could this stuff have anything to do with it????

thanks!!

Not really, I get pretty bad mileage also, especially if I'm in VTEC. Reset your tripometer next fill up and don't let the tach rise above 5.5, you'll notice a big difference.

wow i get 275 most of the time and a couple times i got 300 and i dont really take it easy i just drive

It all about how you drive, and where. I've gotten 230 miles on a tank, that was really driving hard on backroads for most of a weekend, and I've gotten 270 or so on the highway, little VTEC'ing. If your beating it and running hard a lot don't look for much more than 20-25 MPG....

I kick the shit out of my R lots of bouncing i get 160-180 miles to a full tank. boooo. Changing my fuel filter when it sstops raining.

You must, cause I can be really tough on mine but I've never dipped that low, well okay, maybe once or twice I've only gotten 180 miles

Check your math that seems off. I keep track of my Fuel Economy. I fill my Car up every time and that is about every 10-14 days. My worse was 224.8 miles and I used about 11 gallons to fill it up. That is about 20 miles per gallon. My Highest was 284 miles in 10 gallons. I usually fill my car up when the needle hits E and it is about 10.5 gallons on average.

I have also noticed that if I fill it up at every 1/2 tank I get about between 25-30 Miles per gallon depending on my Driving. HY Miles are going to give more MPG cause of the consistency.

average about 250's or so maybe a little higher in town... just did a long trip this weekend and got 345 to the tank (didn't hit VTEC once though).

I usually get about 29-30mpg. Mostly highway miles. What is your fuel pressure set at?

[Dupes]

I get about 400km per tanks, and as soon the gas lights goes off, i put in 40-41 liters in the tank...

Normal driving that is.

damn i can't do that in a full tank i have to hit vtec couple times, too hard to resist plus the tach needle rises so fast.

mmmbahhhhhh hehe love that sound

Wow that is some kinda control. A Type R is supposed to be Driven like a Type R. My R isn't Happy unless She is in VTEC. These cars are supposed to be reved. But it is nice to see that it still can be a fuel economical car

I'll stay outta VTEC for a bit at $2.05 a gallon!!
