Lemmie guess, you have the heat cranked and let your car idle alot to warm up?

300-400 is horriable, are u baggin it?...anyways what sort of things should I be looking at or replacing to get my prelude to the 500 plus km range?

So does my dad's 4.3L GMC Jimmy Vortec. Except that it takes around $60 to fill.

My integra does about 400 in the winter before the needle hits the red, more in the summer. Nothing is wrong, maybe it's because winter driving requires more gas to move through the roads b/c of the increased slush etc and because of a lot of idling, along with the ECU running rich for longer periods of time so that the engine warms up.

you guys should be happy with 400. i get like 325-350 on a good tank of gas. mind you i can only get 3/4 of a tank of gas due to some moron who ran over a planter and dented my gas tank severly

[Dirty_SOHC]

if you want to get 500Km a tank drive really really really slow.

hahaha keep in mind Dirty_SOHC treats each lights as a drag strip.

on cold starts your ECU literally dumps fuel...in this weather especially...make sure to watch out for your mileage when it gets warm (make sure your mileage goes up), also those cars only have a 40 litre tank I believe. (could be wrong)

I'm guessing it has at least a 45L tank. That was the tank capacity of my '91, and I doubt it would get smaller in '98.

My 01' stang gets 500+ per tank in the summer but only 375-400 in the winter. There's not much you can do, if you want a warm car in the winter.

What?? That's horrid milage. I still get up to 450km a tank, I drive a Civic sedan which is essentially the same thing. Although, I don't drain the tank as much, I fill up at about about 1/4 to 1/5 of the tank left.

[B18C]

I get 400+ km per tank which is about $30

[sexualbanana]

i got 440/tank in my 96 ek

[RiceCake]

My gas milage in winter seems to go down by about 50-100 kms a tank...

[ecstasy_civic]

thats about right, my car is getting absolutley brutal mileage, even before it got cold. im getting like 300 to a tank, and im not driving it that hard either.

im changing the fuel filter tommorow and seeing if that will help.
