average fuel consumption
 
For almost a month i owned this car, I calculated the fuel consumption for the first 3 full tanks of gas. 50/50 city hway driving

1st: 430km/ 50 liters
2nd: 451km/ 53 liters
3rd: 434km/ 50 liters

I already manage to change the oil, filter, ATF, PSF, coolant, and set of plugs (NGK). so far I could say everything were good, base on what it looks and sound.

Now I need to know if my Fuel consumption normal? its a lil bit higher for me actually.

In different computation:

8.5 km/liters
11.7 liters/100km
20.2 mpg (if my calculation is correct?)

Mine is about 9.2 KM/L
 
about the same highway / city profile..

I get about 27-28 mpg w/ my 94 EX on a mix of city/highway probably somewhat more highway than 50/50.

27.5 mpg = 8.55 liters/100km = 11.7 km/liter.

I think your MPG calc must be off as my SI units values match yours, except for MPG. I used Digitial Dutch Unit Converter (http://www.digitaldutch.com/unitconv...onsumption.htm)

good luck

the 20mpg is about right...that’s what the h22 ludes get also...your f20 engine is a destroked h22.

Texas...you have a f22 engine that's why you get good MPG..the OP has a performance honda engine they don’t get as good gas mileage as the economy f22a/f22b engines

There's also imperial gallons vs. USA gallons (about 20% difference). Where's Darkgreen located?

no, mine is: 20.2 mpg = 11.7 liters/100km = 8.5 km\liters

ill be more happy if i can reach 22mpg, will work on it. im thinking to get wheel alignment soon. how about fuel additive bottle that say fuel injector cleaner? is that work for my fuel injectors?

If you'll slow down to 60 mph, increase air pressure to 32 psi, and avoid jackrabbit starts/stops you should get 10% increase easily.

I'm not commenting on your driving habits. I was able to do go from 25 mpg avg to 27-28 w/ slowing down and added air pressure.

good luck
