Ok for a while people were talking about gas milage, but i never actually clocked what mine were on a FULL TANK of gas...
Right before i pumped up my tank again today my miles said 211.

211 miles on a full tank sucks! I wasnt even driving hard. And i only use my a/c once in a while...

For what reasons is my gas milage soo bad?

 

why does everybody measure mileage based on "tankfulls" of gas? you should note number of miles traveled and divide by gallons used... that's the accurate way to know MPG.

 

You may want to take advantage of the emissions recall. There may be an emissions-related problem with your car.

I got 325 out of a tank last time i took a highway trip. I thought that was pretty accurate.

 

yeah, the 2.2/2.3's should get at least 250 miles on a tank. 5 speeds get better milage. I also heard that bigger rims make your gas milage worse. How many gallons went in when you filled it up? Usually my gas light goes on, I fill up, and it only lets me put like 13-14 gallons in. We have a 17 gallon tank.

 

yeah 14 gallons. Why is that?

 

Thankfully Honda makes their gas gauges idiot proof by providing a few back-up gallons per se once the gas light goes on. I've traveled about 30 miles down the highway or 2 days in town with the light on and have yet to run out of gas (knock on wood). The best way for mpg calculations is what dogfight said, log your miles and how many gallons you put in the previous time for a few fill-ups, then divide 'em out and average 'em. That should give you a better understanding of you mpg and whether or not you ahve a prob.

 

Hey 2point3, North Texas right? Why the UNT and not UT or someplace closer to home. You a music major?

 

thats what i figured.

 

LOL...yeah idiot proof..haha thank goodness for that huh
theres no way i could do that...i had my accord for 4 years and saw the gas light once...but i guess you guys like to live on the edge

 

Yep North Texas.

Its kind of a long story, but ill tell u in short form. Im a Senior here and a Criminal Justice major.

My aunt used to live in Tulsa actually and referred me to a school in Shawnee called St. Gregory's. I attended there my first year. My parents lived in Arlington at the time, which is only about 45 minutes away from NT. i didnt last at St G's, it sucked ass, so I decided to transfer to NT, since my sister grad. from there anyways. the year i transfer, my fathers job gets transferred to The Woodlands, so im still here. Ohwell, i only got a year left.

 

How bout that. I grew up in Dallas and moved from Tulsa last year. Here to OKC. I've been to Shawnee b4 (not much there). Got a friend who grew up in Spring and spent plenty of time in H-Town. Still have a few friends also at the UNT. We need to organize a meet in North Dallas some time. I'm sure most of us OKC folk would be down (Hoffines et al??). It'd be pretty cool.

--sorry for whorin!

 

We're having one this Friday actually at Hooters in Lewisville, but im sure we will have A TON this summer. check out the Club Events forum in the Dallas thread, meet the guys, they are all cool. A 2 state meet would be cool.

 

we do?
i thought the specs from acura stated that
we have a 15.6 gallon tank?



can anyone verify/confirm this?

 

i have a 2.3 and the manual says the tank is 17 gallons. the gas gauge appears to be at empty with about 3 gallons left. i average about 24mpg with the 5 speed mostly city driving.

 

Wow. I'm getting 27-28mpg, mostly highway. It helps that I rarely see the high side of 4k rpm.

 

I usually hit about 300-325 with mix city/highway driving. Though i rarely hit the high rpms...

 

i usually do all city driving, hit high rpms often and get about 212-250 miles the the gallon on my 3.0

we took it on a college road trip and got over 400 though, so i know its just my driving

 

i do about 75% city driving and i get 340-360 miles to the tank and i have a 3.0, I use 87 octane....... most i've ever filled up was 16.6xx gallons before

 

I get 330+ to a tank in all city driving

 

On my last drive up to college, I hit 200 miles at the halfway mark, but my mileage then went downhill from there. Apparently on the last 100 miles or so my foot became heavy because the needle ran toward the E.

 

i took a road trip to austin wit my cl n i got 400 miles wits a full tank but its all highway miles

 

ive hit 400 highway miles per tank before
in my 2.2 auto

 

"I get 330+ to a tank in all city driving"

How do you get 330 in all city? Do you ever go past 3k rpm? I like tried to drive conservative usually im flooring it but the most i got city driving was like 280 i think

 

err.. please say in MPG.. not so many miles per tank.. cuz everyone fills up at different points... a while back.. some guy was saying how he only got 150 miles per tank.. and it was because it was filling up even before the 1/4 tank mark.." but it was a tank!" blah-- MPG PLEASE, i also thought i was getting kinda shitty gas mileage until i thought about it.. and i just get the average 21 mpg
