Is my honda civic running out of gas fast?
I have a 97 Honda civic coupe DX that I put $20on gas and it went over half now after like 125 miles is 1/4 on gas. Is it just me or is it running out pretty fast. I just bought it 2 months ago maybe is sparkplugs or air filter but I want to know if that's normal then
I would recommend filling the tank until the pump shuts off. Drive until its low and refill again until the pump shuts off. Then divide the miles you drove by the number of gallons it took to refill - this gets you the exact mpg rating for that tank.
If the car was rated as 36mpg city/44highway then your estimated 27mpg seems reasonable. Consider the fact that in the 90's cars rarely hit their estimated mileage numbers, so it was probably closer to 33 mpg city when it was brand new. Then figure you have 17 years of wear & tear on that car, so losing 6mpg isn't that much.
You *might* gain a little bit by doing some basic maintenance like spark plugs, air filters, etc. But don't expect to get 36 mpg ever again.
Your Civic is getting the fuel performance pretty much within the expected specifications for your automobile.
Spark plug always paid for them self in gas savings
It is you, do the math. 125 miles on a quarter tank…27 mpg. Sounds pretty good to me.
That's pretty good bro
- I have a 750 honda shadow american classic was out on a ride stopped to get gas got back on bike and nothing? The 750 Honda would not start the head lights are not coming on but the turn signal work and the horn had battery charged. Any ideas please this is a motor bike not a car
- How fast can my car top out with the electironic speed governor? My car is a 2003 Honda Element awd 4 spd. I've only been able to find answers about this question of the 5 speed Elements. My car However is only a 4 speed Auto. How fast can my car go before the limited kicks in?
- RPM of car increases really fast, barely pressing the gas pedal? I drive a 2008 Honda civic ex and I noticed that when I press the gas pedal lightly the tachometer increases really fast like up to 2000-3000 rpm and the car is not even going 50 mph. Is it normal for the rpm of the car to go really high when I barely press the gas pedal? My car has about 60,000 miles on it if it helps and I have had no issues with it since I bought it.
- Why does my car run out of gas extremely fast? I own a 02 Honda accord and the last time I took it for an oil change, I flushed the radiator, transmission and new air filter. Lately my gas runs out extremely fast to the point where the other day I had half a tank and within maybe 2 or less hours, I was on E with the light on. The car is not leaking gas. Also my car accelerates slow, especially up hill.
