If you're asking about auto, you may as well ask about ep3's too. I get 27-28 mpg average throughout a whole tank. (No cat/O2 bung)

Shifting at 3k or less, I can get around 30-32MPG for a tank. Though that rarely happens. I usually get 28MPG, on average for a week.

Yea, but did it actually take 13.2 gallons when you filled it? Prolly not. Divide your mileage but what it actually took to fill it, that's your mpg.

I just recently took a trip with all highway mileage. Dallas, to College Station, to Houston, all in one day and I got 390 miles to a tank, and it took 11.3 gallons to fill it up. That's with I/RH/E and stock ecu.

It averaged out to 34.5 mpg I think. Which sounds right to me. How many miles are on your car? Have you ever changed your spark plugs out? I changed mine at 80k, so that may have something to do with it also.

I do 25mpg on city driving. Not a hell of a lot better on the highway, as I'm moving pretty good.

Intakes also allow your car to breathe more and increases mpg then a stock air box. If you don't want to go intake, check your filter in your air box. If it's really dirty change it. It helps to.

13.2 gallons is how much gas our tank holds. that meant that you completely emptied out the gas tank. you know that even when your gas light initially comes on, it doesn't mean you have NO gas in your car right? there is a 1-2 gallon leeway so that dumb people wont constantly run out of gas.

if you're putting in that much gas, you might want to go to a new gas station. some gas stations in the past have altered their gas output on their pumps so that you would think you're getting 1 gallon, when you were actually getting something like .9 gallons.

if your o2 sensor is bad, it's kind of obvious why your gas mileage is terrible.

yeah u guys are right, some gas stations might cheat u out on some money, cause i just saw my receipt and it says 13.5 gallons at $2.98 = $40.60 and i did run the car for a long as time with the gas light on, i know theres a reserve for dumb-*** people, but it definatly has to do with the 02 sensor, this is like 6th honda/acura that ive owned and this one has been the worst in gas, not even my previous car 2.2 Vtech BB6 ate that much gas, it averaged out like 27 28 mpg.........so im just waiting on the o2 to come in the mail to install it and see if it betters it

I am sure the gas tank is not 15 gallons even if you include putting gas through the lines, fuel rail, and so forth. Honda's official number is 13.2 gallons. 1.8 gallons is a lot of liquid.
