I have a stock b16a2 w/ gsr tranny swap in a ek hatch. I get probably 160-170 miles per full tank. Is that normal? My sohc was around 250-280. I know the b16 is a better motor but should it be that<U></U> different? I tried searching but couldnt find anything.

160-170 is awful. I typically get around 260 or something close to what you got for your sohc.

i usually get between 250 and 280, but that is with a b16 tranny.

Aww crap... could an ecu thats been chipped be the culprit? Im using a chipped out gsr ecu. Vtec engages at 5800 and redlines at 9k

Absolutely. Most "chipped" ECUs run fuel maps that are extremely rich.

My B18C with GSR tranny in an EJ8 gets about 270-310 miles to the tank, where I'm often driving it like I stole it. There's no reason other than your ECU as to why your 1.6 is sucking up twice as much gas, even if you're really driving it.

Honestly, 250-280 sucks for a d series too... I used to get 40mpg with my EJ8 w/ d16y8

Its probably the chipped ecu along with your driving habits.
No offense...

jumai182

Thanks for all response guys. So then it is my ecu... damn I didnt think an ecu would kill my mpg so bad...

how old are your wires, plugs, and regular manitence parts? try changing your oil with engine restoration, reseting your chipped ecu, pour in some fuel cleaner into your fuel system. That should help some what, but mostly its becuz your chipped ecu, your making slightly more power so what do you expect haha...

If he's burning through that much gas and is running that rich, I HIGHLY doubt he's making more power. I'd be willing to bet that he's losing power on top of having to fill up twice as often.

Ill swap my ecu out today as soon as i get out from work. Thanks for all the help guys
Ill post the results.

I typically get about 280 miles per full tank on my b16a2 w/ stock ecu. Thats mixed normal and hard driving.

i get abut 230 - 240 milesv per tank with a stock 2000 civic si...... thats driving like a maniac a lil bit........

Jhonny Ricer

Wow no offense but gas mileage on both your cars seems pretty horrible. I think it might be time for a tune up. But honestly yea my sohc is making aboot 350 per tank, And my freinds 06 SI can barely push 300. So im making about 29MPG and he is 24 MPG somewhere around there. But any who yea im just saying you should be putting out at LEAST110 more miles in a tank.
Time for a Tune-Up.
Dude you have an 11 gallon tank this means you are getting 14.54- MPG
Dude thats worse than my dads 1967 camaro with the V8.

wOW 230-240 miles , i only manage about 180-200 with my 2000 civic si, stock ecu, it does'nt really matter how i drive , fast, slow, hard 200 miles max , i thats with the reserve light on for another 10miles b4 i fill up again ..!!

but then again i've been told it's over fueling slightly , how can i solve a over fueling problem ..!?!

Jhonny Ricer

i think that might have something to do with mods?
dont quote me on that tho

jwyoung

actually it's a 11.9 gallon tanks.. I get about 250/tank with many mods. I'm tuned so i'm sure that helps.

I have a 92 cx with a 10 gallon tank. Chipped ecu.
Started off getting about 160 miles before empty and have since tuned it up to about 240 mile.

So from 16 mpg to 24 mpg by tuning myself on crome. 14.7 afr on idle and 14.5 roughly at cruising. WOT goes to 13's but I stay there alot.

I plan on running one chip for chilling and going for maximum mpg. the other for the track which is mainly where this car goes.

My DB8 gets 30 mpg mixed driving heavier on the highway side.

G0TB00ST

WHAT DA expletive 200 ON A SI????? damn... i thought i was bad. i doesnt matter how i drive.... only once i got 300....... but i drove long term at like 60.. which really isnt like me to go 60 and stay there

EG8

i get 350-380 with my SOHC but i also run tons of timing part throttle

jumai182

wow, seems everyone else has bad *** gas milage...

G0TB00ST

When i first got my em1. i was like.. hooray. better gas mileage.. 300 maybe even 375 on a tank..... guess not..... car has 35000 miles and new spark plugs.. dont think i need much as for maintenence

Blk00EJ8

jesus... why don't you guys just sell your 1.6 liter equipped vehicles and buy huge SUVs?? at least then you'll have a reason to guzzle all that gas

vtboi4sho

wow how are you guys getting such low mpg. i have a lsvtec with a itr tranny and a 4.7 final drive and i can get 260 miles on a full tank.
