Honda civic 06 fuel consumption problem

[ZainMahdi]

I just conducted my first documented motorway test. The fuel consumption for 89.9 km was 4.95 liters. That comes out to....wait for it....

18 km/l. @ahmedraja1996, comments?

Edit:I un-bolded the 18 kml result. Looked cheap

@zainmahdi man I am so jealous of you lol.
Which car? Model? Transmission? Speed??
Help me man! My stupid car does not go beyond 10.5 kilometers on motorway and that also without AC

[jazzy77]

My 05 Civic Vti Oriel Prosmatec (petrol only) gives me 10.5 to 11 km/l in city if I drive at 2000rpm constantly to a max speed 70km/hr max.
Its running on Yokohama db 205/60/15

[dr_usman]

@jazzy77 I have pirelli 195/65/15 and it just wont go above 10.5kmpl
I drove it from rwp to ayubia to muree to muzafarabad, 10.2kmpl and i drove it gently

No Comments you got the most efficient 7th gen even the company claims of civic 1.6 ES were about 11-12 urban and 13 mixed.
I always say be realistic, if someone can prove then prove the thing not by putting the KM/L in bold. The owners of 7th gen know what is the actual fuel consumption of this car and the car i kept was with me from day one and never ever went to dealership other then regular oil changes or 50k service or routine checks. I told you before it never gave me anything more then 14km and it was 2005 vti manual 120k driven on Honda 5w30 oil with driving at 80-90km/h not exceeding 100 and w/o AC. Else many 7th gen owners are at pw you can ask from anyone. and i consider cars giving 18km/l are in hybrid category

I believe its the max we can achieve.

i told it many times before that my car never gave more then 14km and that too with constant speed of 80-90km/h on long routes w/o ac in local it used to give 10.5-11.5 and it had 195/60/15 Yokohama, but nobody believes here some say 18km/l some say 16km/l.

My fuel expenses halved after shifting from 7th Gen EXi to Prius while daily running has increased
Man that car was a monster in terms of fuel consumption, a full tank barely used to last a week.

03 Civic Prosmatic. Same as your civic, but even older.

Some interesting things: the undertray is hanging, the bonnet is slightly bent, the headlight area isn't properly sealed there is a big CNG cylinder in the back, and it is running on 20w-50 for quite some time. The tires were filled to 40 psi 2 weeks ago, so I am sure it was at ~35 psi. The odometer is almost 270k km.

My father is a normal driver, and he also gets the same mileages as every one; i.e max 13 on the motorway. I am about to write a thread discussing my driving style, and the limitations that I faced.

Rest assured, I wasn't driving at 60-70 on the motorway. I preferred 90-100, touching 130 at one point. More details later. First, I urge you to read up on the following terms: DWL, DWB, and NICE-ON. The definitions are on the cleanmpg site. It will help you understand my driving style a bit.

bro i'm not into hypermiling thing but when i felt need of car with nice mpg figures then i would go and straight away buy Toyota Prius 2012 or later.

[ZainMahdi]

Realistically, I was expecting a max of 16, not more. My father challenged me that I couldn't cross 14; he has been driving this car for a long time, and that was the best that he could manage.

The trip from the GIKI gate to the Kashmir Highway PSO pump only took less than 5 liters. We were both in a state of shock for a few seconds; the fuel tank was absolutely full. No more petrol could go in.

That feeling (H)

@zainmahdi I just read on DWL & DWB, tell Mr More

[MzM_aLy_ShAkIr]

Mzm_aly_shaklr so u think my problem with mileage may also be due to CNG installed by the person who used it before me??

brother thats what i face in my car, as i am not a mechanic so cant identify the actual problem with ur ride.

[ZainMahdi]

@ZainMahdi I just read on DWL & DWB, tell Mr More

DWL- bleeding your speed on an uphill, gaining it back on the downhill. Without fuel consumption display, you just keep the pedal pressure constant. With a FCD, its slightly more complicated, but just keep the first part in mind.

DWB- self explanatory. Drive if your brakes are not working. In other words, look far ahead, and prepare for the traffic situation ahead. (also see Anticipatory Focus).

NICE-ON: put the car in neutral, with the ICE on. It is especially useful when there is a downhill, there are no obstacles ahead, and you want to mainain/gain speed.

Currently I am using Honda Genuine engine oil 5W-30 fully synthetic in my car. But on next oil change I will consider ZIC XQ 5W-40 fully synthetic or Havoline 5W-40 fully synthetic.

These two oils are much better then Honda Genuine engine oil 5W-30 fully synthetic and giving superb fuel mileage and long change interval as well.

I will say you that use zic xq 5W-40 fully synthetic. or Havoline 5W-40 fully synthetic in your car with oem oil filter should buy from 3s.

Bro what do u say about honda 3s is also giving Caltex Havoline for rs 3000.........rite now I'm using honda total oil 5w-30 in my 2013 civic ....should i convert my car to Caltex oil ?

[ZainMahdi]

prosmatic 18km/l i thought you got manual best of luck bro you got best civic ES enjoy it

When you know how to use one, a prosmatic is not much worse than a manual. In fact at highway speeds, it has a distinct advantage:
The manual spins at 3k rpm at 100 in 5th, while the prosmatic locked in 4th spins at 2.5k.

Bro what do u say about honda 3s is also giving Caltex Havoline for rs 3000.........rite now I'm using honda total oil 5w-30 in my 2013 civic ....should i convert my car to Caltex oil ?

If you use caltex then use fully synthetic caltex golden bottle
