[B]Man, what the hell am I doing wrong?

 

I generally get around 200 driving around town...

Highway, 310-320, with my best tank being 380 (running AC), when I was driving crosscountry. I think I could get 400 with the hardtop on, at night, and no ac.

I generally can get at least 60 miles out of the car after no bars are showing on the gauge...as there are more than 2 gallons left in the tank at that point.

 

those that get 240 w/one or two bars left... i got a question for you guys... do you ever vtec or anything of that nature?

 

While still a newbie owner (1,300 miles on the odometer), I've been getting about 25 mpg in mixed use (city/highway/country). The first 600 miles, of course no vetecing, but since then I vetec some in 1st and 2nd. Haven't done it in the upper gears as I'd be going way too fast!

 

With mixed around town/freeway driving, I typically get 22 to 24 MPG, but more often on the lower end of that range. I drive very aggressively, w/ lots of WOT and VTEC. Most often I fill at about 240 to maybe 260 miles on the trip odometer. I ALWAYS check the mileage.

On the drive from Louisville down to the Dragonball Run last September (interstate 98% until I got right into Knoxville), with the top up because of rain, I got right at 30 mpg. I had a passenger, a trunk full of gear, and average speed was 80 MPH or maybe the high 70s. I kept it in cruise control most of the way.

 

Last fillup was 10.3 gallons on 250.9 miles or 24.36 miles per gallon.

 

Anywhere from 60 to 325. Depends on the type of driving you do.

 

You guys that get 24MPG are amazing. I am lucky to see 240 or 250 miles before a fillup. Only seen 300 once and I too was happy to see the gas station. On average I'm filling up right around 220 miles, so I probably get around 21 or 22 MPG. Beggest difference is city vs. highway. If you are mostly city, expect low 20s; mixed driving expect mid 20s; mostly highway expect high 20s.

I've gotten 310 highway driving when the engine was warm, but when I am going back and forth from work, I get about 220.

 

Gee..... I've seen this thread before and it's always the same thing! Heck, The last thing I'm interested in is my gas mileage or I would've bought a civic!If you drive hard , you'll get 150-160 a tank , folks that don't use vtec can get a lot better OK? What more do we need to discuss?
