I got a 92 Civic w/ the D15B7 engine.
I filled up with Mid-grade fuel and got 308Miles out of it, but it would have road till 310 I'm thinkin, atelast...

As I can see, my milage isn't very good.
What are you guys getting?

 

Could be fuel filter? Do you have anything odd like different ecu than stock? How about what mods do you have done to it? Everything, wind, speed, etc. affects your mileage.

 

This damn engine...

I last changed the fuel filter when I installed my Short ram.. atleast a year ago.

So, on my car I have a AEM Shortram intake, and an Apexi WS2 Exhaust. Nothing else has really changed except stuff to the body of the cat that could effect the aerodynamics but thats all.

The weather has been calm also.

Edmunds says the Civic has an 11.9Gal fuel tank. Multiply that by EPA 30MPG (for auto) and you get 357 Mi/Tank, that means I'm getting only 87% of the milage I should.

The thing is gay as it is, it makes all sorts of **** dissapere like fuel, oil, and the coolant in the overflow resivour.

That might be part of your problem.

 

You do know how to calculate gas mileage right? Next time you fill up, reset the trip odometer to zero. Then, drive it until you get to ~ 300 miles. Then, when you go to the gas station, take the number of miles on the odo and divide it by the number of gallons you put in the tank. 92-95 civics are notorious for having shitty fuel gauges, you might be getting better mileage than you think.

 

1) Fill Up
2) Reset Trip Odomoter
3) Drive for about 300 Miles
4) Fill up again
5) Divide Trip Odometer reading by amount of gas required to refill the tank.


Is that correct? I'll try that next time.

All I done this time was Fill up and drive till I was holding down E cosistently. Would have went farther but I'm not trying to have the car cut off on on me.
