you will get about 30 on average. At least thats what ive got for the last week, thats with a mix of city and highway.

 

Yeah, 30 is about right, I assume ur talking about the 99/00 Si, not the '92-'95 Si.

The Z6 ('92-'95 Si) should be ~35-high 30's on the highway.

About 30-mid-low 30's for the 99/00 Si if you're not beating on it.

If you're constantly planting ur foot for every other car u see ur not gonna see near that b/c of the high RPM (due to the short transmission).

I'm actually surprised Honda didn't claim m ore than 31 on the highway...if that's who "they" is referring to, but yeah, it'll get that, as for speeds, 65-80 should be fine as long as ur not nailing it.

Also, remember for gas mileage around town / hills 'n ****. It's better to keep it in a lower gear and only use 10% throttle than to upshift and have to use 60% throttle at a lower RPM - this is usually very applicable for hilly/countryside areas.

 

my 94 EG2 has the same engine but OBD-1, was rated at 32mpg highway. I get 34 these days, all with having 244k miles on it!

highway consumption is tested in UN-ECE regulations...in EU it is EEC directives!

for EU EEC directives here is a link: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise....html

if i'm not mistaken it's UN-ECE 101, look here: http://www.unece.org/trans/main/wp29/wp29regs.html

Or his o2 sensor might be giving impoper readings, or he drives in 5th going 35mph all the time thinking he's saving gas by being in 5th.

 

well i get pretty good mileage myself, i fill up about every three weeks now. thats with granny shifting of course.
