I bought a 2003 RSX type S recently and i am getting 250 miles to a tank. I am not beating on it. I rarely get into vtec and i put some of the cleaner that goes in before you fill up and cleaned my air filter. I have no mods that would hurt. exhaust, lowered. ANy suggestions on how to get better Gas milage!?!?!?!?!?

 

are you using premium gas??

 

yea im runnin premium

 

check your tires for proper inflation. when was the last time you changed your oil, air filter and plugs? run a compression check. btw when do you usually shift?

 

1. Check your alignment.
2. Check your tire pressures.
3. Check spark plugs.

 

usually shift around 4500. Just got my alignment done. oil is not even 1k old. spark plugs were next thing on the list. tire pressure is alright

 

that above was me on my buds name sorry

 

try shifting around 3-3.5k. but really check your compression out.

This isn't going to help much.

I've said it dozens of times: the first thing you want to do is read the plugs. Then check components, compression, air filter, etc.

 

hey an update for you i filled up my tank 14.2 gallons and only got 262 miles

 

How many miles on the car? And let us know what the plugs look like.

My question to you is .... How did you get 14.2 gallons of gas into a 13 gallon fuel tank?

 

aux tank

 

gas stations are cheating us more now by charging us for gas we never got.

Are you serious? Please explain.

 

are you puttin the cleaner in it every tank? ( or is it that stuff thats suppose to give better gas milage ?) if so, that can be the problem as well. also, DO not ever put in the cheep cleaner i.e. walworld type. that cheep crap IS full of left-overs.

 

Better check your vtec fluid.
