How to Improve Civic Reborn's fuel consumption?

[IsbCap]

8.5-9 in city with AC is fine enough. Trying to tune it will result in lot of time and money wasted, and avg. may still remain almost the same.

it has to give you at least 10+ in local and may be around 12 with lighter foot.

Check list

Air Filter clean/Replace
Plugs Clean/Replace
Tappet adjustment (fron Honda 3S)
Throttle body cleaning (from Honda 3S)
Check the Fuel Filter (If your car has ODO reading above 80,000 Kms)
Check Catalytic Converter (Clean fron Honda 3S) If your car has ODO reading above 80,000 Kms

I can assure you, by doing all these things it will give you a better millage

I am getting around 10+ on my Prosmatic
I used to get 11+ on my manual

Well, I previously owned city 2007 and also have driven 2005 civic (not owned). What is the mileage on odometer if yr car ? I don't think that the drive is harsh, also in comparison to the my old city, this is much better. I have Yokohama DB tires (profile 205) with alloy rims and ride is fine. I will again drive the civic 2005 and compare it with my car when i get a chance.

idsi was the softest suspension(and rubbish handling) ride honda atlas ever brought to Pakistan after 2012 civic.

my 2009 reborn is giving me 10 +- with ac on or off its almost the same and on normal foot not totally light foot....on long route it does miracles...if driven on even 150 it gives arnd 14 with ac and if on 80 or 100 it goes to arnd 17

btw use four tip plugs...and synthetic oil...orignal honda air filter and get the tappets adjusted from honda it will work normally....do check the condition of fuel filter....one more issue which arises in the car is the cat convertor do get that checked aswell

iridium tipped fine wire plugs have a service life of atleast 180,000 kms - leave them alone, Please confirm the part about them breaking the cat converter - I doubt it because Honda will be in a mountain of trouble if their dealerships were doing this act.

simple ans drive with eco mode one

I wuld leave them alone so does the dealership say the same but the plugs luk dirty and i see a marked diffrnce when i got the new iridium plugs and how the car behaves now..apart from that im having -15 plus short term fuel trims..meaning the car is otherwise running rich..when i clean the air filter this value comes to -10..wht do u suggest culd be the cause of such negative fuel trims im seeing..car is a civic 8th gen r18...

test the air mass sensor and also test the AFR, poor performing AMS can cause the trims to go loopy - Do not buy used part for replacement, it will be same as your old part.

The AFR is at 1.0 meaning its okay i guess..and the negative fuel trims are in -15 range only at idle..when i press the accelerator it changes to -5 meaning towards normal..in pakistan we dont hve the crc mass airflow sensor cleaner any idea with what i can clean the maf with at home like a diy procedure?

cleaning can only make a good working MAF work again, if your MAF is bad you will need to replace it.

Can i safely clean it with petrol?

8th gen civic r18 dsnt do any better than that,no matter how nicely tuned n maintained the engine is,ive taken out 11.6 at max with hypermiling n in normal routine same fuel mileage as urs.
ps why worry about fuel consumption now as the fuel is cheaper and u can fill ur tank is 2700rs only

[MrUnknown]

Reborn's are gas guzzler ...ur already getting exceptional avg d if u want more then trade it with city idsi ...it would almost double ur avg:D
