284.5 miles from 7.003 gallons of gas--40.62 mpg on my second tank of gas.

2003 DX sedan.

Mixed driving, and I'm not shy.

Is this normal?

 

yea...its norm. is your car a manual, or auto?

 

It's a four-door sedan with a five-speed manual.

I have ac and side airbags. Everything else is manual, including the windows. I have AM and FM, but no CD or tape. A real basic stripper.

Now all I have to do is pull out all of the carpeting.....

 

Jesus i wish i got 40 miles to a gallon. I think i get 30 with mixed driving

 

my best tank i ever recorded was 37.25 after i just swappped in my z6 and was driving it real hard and fast all the time with a tps and o2 sensor code. my best recorded on my civic stock was 36.5.

conclusion - Dual point fuel injection sucks ***

i never got a new record yet driving nice and easy because my speedo broke for a while so i will soon have a new record because its fixed

 

Talking about the speedo, wish I had a tach--more useful in the long run. On my liste.

 

Yeah i was getting around stock recorded 38 MPG right after i installed I/H/E on my 99 hatch.. but that was before i was driving it really hard.. since no tach in DX model have no idea what i had the RPM'S at.. so the more times i drove while drunk the more ballsy i got as to how high i could rev.. till i found the rev limiter.. then just had to guess where i was based off of sound

 

My last tank I calculated 36mpg on mixed driving 70 + Miles a day commute. Here in California it costs me 34 dollars for roughly 10 gallons................

 

Yea, we're paying between $3-$3.19 here in the D.C. metro area. Funny, though, I was down in southern Virginia this weekend and it was only $2.80 a gallon--so I filled up my Ford Explorer! Didn't have my civic with me, but I did do a long highway cruise on the tank of gas I have in it now (about 280 miles) so I'll see how it turns out in a day or two--I still have a half tank left.

 

Last tank: 39.885 mpg.

Moving with the Radar Runner on interstates for 280 miles, spirited country road driving for about 100 miles, and a bit around town.
