i'm wondering what you guys think i should be getting as far as milage goes. i'm currently getting about 245 miles to the tank right now, is that low? i've got the d16z6, si tranny, p28 ecu, i/h/e in my 95 cx.

 

are you running an o2 sensor? And how hard do you drive the car?

 

I will keep saying this till you guys/girls get it. The only accurate method for checking MPG (miles per gallon) is as follows:

1. Fill the tank
2. Reset the trip meter
3. Drive till at least half the tank is used. (Closer to empty is better.)
4. Fill the tank (write down the gallons).
5 Read the trip meter.
6. Divide the miles driven by the gallons used = MPG

This is the only way to get a good number on the MPG. You have to have half a brain and be able to divide.

i'm not worried about mpg i guess i'm more concerned about total range of a tank of gas.

 

Ide like to know this too...My Del Sol(D16Y8) only gets about 250 give or take to a full tank...

 

245 mpg is damn good shift as low as possible no hitting vtec it will get better

 

The MPG detremines the range of the tank. (If its getting 35 MPG and the tank is a 10 gallon tank the the range is 350 miles.)

They are not independent of one another. As I understand it the 95 CX has a 11.9 gallon tank. So if you fill it up then drive it till it quits (out of fuel) and assume 35 MPG, the total range is 416.5 miles. Math is your friend learn to use it!

 

i have an ek ex project car and iget about 340 per tank... but i drive like a grandma...thats what happens when you have a super strong ticket history... bump good gas milage.

 

listen to tpr. I doubt any of you guys are running your tanks bone dry trying to calculate mileage. DO as he said, it's easy and accurate...the only accurate way

 

Cx hatches have a 10 gallon fuel tank, I used to own one. Allother civics have 11.9

 

Wrong I got my info from the Honda dealer and it is backed up by the Helms manual 11.9 gallons.

 

Well, unless there were any changes from a 93 to 95 model years, I have an original 1993 Civic Brochure. All models Dx/EX coupe DX hatchback, and Civic SI were the only ones with 11.9 tanks. CX and VX were 10. This print brochure is unquestionable or uncontestable..............
Peace.

you might be right however, in the 5+ years that i've been driving this hatch the most i've put in has never been more then 9.5 gallons and that was topping that bitch off with gas spilling out and everything. and trust me i run that bitch pretty dry.

i was just wondering 'cause i was getting just over 300 miles per tank with the old d15b8 8valve so it's good to know that i'm on par with where i'm supposed at.

but i think anything under 300 per tank is garbage, if your not city driving.

let us know the average shift points and throttle position.

i do mostly highway driving, 75 miles a day. and i usually get between 310-330miles per tank, then when doing the math it comes to 34mpg in the summer and 36 mpg in the winter. now when you do further math one realizes that i pay just under 9 cents a mile for gas. totalling my expenses at just shy of $6.75 per day for commuting to school.

my bottom line: i would be real pissed and frantically looking for something wrong if i got 245 miles to the tank.

Exactly, it's a lot more accurate than a fuel gauge. If you really want to get accurate do this with 3 tanks of gas, then average the 3 tanks results.

 

Gas cost to much to fill up the tank.

 

i get 280-310 on a full tank with my z6 but i have an ex and alost 2 more gallons. but i think that your mileage is average...about 25 mpg

 

how have i put more than 10 gallons in my cx. most ever was like 10.5
i would get about 35 - 40 with cx motor and tranny
about 30 w/ z6 and t25
and now about 23 w/ b18 and t3/t4 in the city ( i got to the track every week) but just got 34 on the highway for a 600 mile trip

i guess it's time to do some maintainace. plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. btw i do mostly commuting to work(rush hour), to school(rush hour)2 days a week, and home(rush hour).

 

TPR:
Have you ever owned a CX hatch? Like I said, I owned on for like 2 years. Bleh also has one.
They have a 10 gallon tank. I used to average almost 400 miles on that 70 hp POS motor....

 

i can never get more than 9 gallons in my CX tank, but i've also never run out. i have a GSR swap and i've gotten 270 miles on a tank......usually get 250-260. I guess i could go a little bit farther, but i'm scared to run out of gas 245 isn't very good for a z6

 

1 gal reserve............
