is it just me or do ludes have pretty shitty gas mileage? is your alls ludes pretty hard on gas?

 

If you have a vtec and are in that range a lot, it's like having a V8... Guzzle

 

Stock wheels I'd get 400 to a tank. With my 18s I'm down to about 365-375 I think. Not sure though, not through with this first tank on my 18s.

 

mine sucks ***.. When i bought my 2000 prelude.. it says 20 city and 25 highway.. Now I owned many mustangs in the past with gas mileage of 17 city and 25 highway.. I guess after or at 200 hp gas mileage is about the same.. dunno.

 

it depends on how hard you drive it and what mods you have. if i can remember correctly, i get almost 300 miles with a full tank.

 

I average 28-29 miles per gallon. I have gotten 30 mpg a few times too.

 

26 for me.. thinkin about replacing the o2 sensor.

will a valve tune up/adjustment aid in getting some more miles out of a tank?

 

damn, i only get 20 to the gallon

 

I drove from west virginia to nashville, tennessee on one tank of gas

 

when i was driving my lude daily (about to start again next week finally!) I got HORRIBLE gas mileage! I wonder what kind o fMPG you get when you are in VTEC constantly..hehe

 

A lot of highway milage on with any car will get you good gas milage. I think most of the guys with the high gas milage were mostly highway drivers. I don't vtec a lot and only have an intake and I get about 20-22mpg city driving.

 

the highway gearing of the 4gen vtec sucks *****. its been so long since ive driven it, but i believe its like 4300 @ 80mph?

 

My built motor gets 27mpg and I VTEC a fair bit. It's pretty crazy how good the mileage is..

 

I get about 25mpg or 350miles/tank. I want the RSX tranny or any 6 speed for that matter.
I drive about 50 miles on the highway every day, going around 80 the whole time(when I'm lucky and no traffic) and it sucks my gas down since I'm at like 4k RPM's + the whole time.

 

i'm getting 400 miles per tank, mostly highway driving at 70mph or so (3k).
= 27mpg
i don't get on the gas over half throttle too much, and no vtec.
i mean, my old car got better mileage, 33 mph, but it was a souped up escort with a whopping 88 hp.

 

i dont know but its guzzle,guzzle,guzzle its pretty addictive not wantin to go into v-tec for the hell of it .

 

I used the new shell "longer lasting" gas, crock of ****.
I filled it up with 93 for 21.00(1.86? per gallon) and I got about 240 miles out of it.
Usually I get 260-270, the 18s dont help.

 

im running about 300 mpg on a full tank city driving. im fairly hard on the gas too. i can drive about 400+ on the highway. thats going about 75mph all the way though. to save gas, its all about keeping the rpms low.... the lower the rpm, the less gas it takes the run the car.

 

I get about 300 mi a tank with my 17's on. i think i could get 325 with the OEM wheels, but lately i've been tryign to stay away from V-TEC because i'm paying 2.25/gal for 91 octane.

it's punchin a damn hole in my bank acct...

 

Move to FL, I just filled up it was 1.89 for 93.
I still cant believe I only get like 260-270 without even hitting vtec

 

I tend to get about 330 on a full tank, but yeah if you use vtec alot it drops you gas mileage like crazy.

darn, i got you mixed up with the guy who started this thread.

did you guys know that the A/C also uses up your gas faster too? it's just a thought.

i got to hit vtec at least once or twice when i drive the lude.

 

It's ALL in the driver...

When I first got my lude, I didn't notice it, but I kept on the pedal pretty hard most of the time, and was wondering why my mileage sucked so bad.

When I learned to go slower and easier on the pedal, I started keepin a lot more $$$ in my pockets!

At first I had to fill up twice a week. After adjusting my driving style, I could make a full tank last about 10 days.

Also, doin the speed limit on the highway helps a lot

haha, did you lose your password or somethin?

 

Yea, I get around 380 miles on a fillup until the light comes on... not too bad I'd say - turbo is gonna kill my milage, prolly gonna drop down to 300 or so. I shift ~ 4,000 RPM and I don't drive on a highway.
