$51 to fill up an ep wtf???

[cbecker333]

I got 36 mpg on the highway yesterday, with the a/c on the entire trip. I travelled 380 miles on a single tank before the reserve light was on - I could have easily gone more than 400 miles. On my trip up there, I clocked 245miles/7gals, so thats 35mpg (same thing, a/c on the entire time.) I was using 89 octane and travelling at an average 65-70mph, using cruise control of course.

Honda efficiency rules!

[SinisterCivicSi]

dam thats good! you had the a/c on too? must have been cause you were doing the speed limit - sort of. lol

[black87regal]

you get your best gas mileage at around 55 i beleve, wonder how much that would effect the mileage.

[PAsi]

i was flippin out when i got 29mpg. i'm used to drivin my Jeep Wrangler that gets about 15-19mpg but also has a 20gal tank.

[golferjn]

cool, nice job

[Surprise]

I just averaged 28 mpg going 650 miles at 82-85 mph with the AC on the whole time:( I think the mpg really drops off after 70 mph.

[black87regal]

my buick gets 30 mpg and my 442 gets 6 mpg

[blueiedgod]

You guys are getting such high mileage. I can only get 26 mpg. I average 260 miles on 10 gals. I drive 60-80 mph, with some traffic, some stop and go. some days i have a/c on and some days i just have the windows and roof open. I dive on the hilly terrain, that could be a reason I am not getting advertised 30 mpg.

[95 GSR]

~34-38mpg.... with the corolla:D

~about 19,pg with the teg

are you lost?

[EViLsneakyDUCK]

whenever i drive home i get horrible gas mileage...2-3 hour drive that eats up almost a whole tank...considering i drive at 90-105 but... :)

[black87regal]

are you lost?

why yes slightly, ive been getting that alot lately.

its all in the way you drive the car, my guss is you run the car hard and take it to higher rpms and keep it there longer then most of the other people on this board. if you kept it at a lower rpm range you would get better gas mileage

[siver-SI]

I get low 30's most of the time and this is becuase going to work is mostly 35-45 MPH speed limit that cops love to stay around. It is better the grand am that I got rid of. This car is my better then my 1978 Mark V that gets 4 MPG with I have fun with the 460CI engine with the Holly 4 barrel carb. It burns 93 octain too with the semi hemi heads.

My EP I noticed a 1-2 MPG gain with I went over to 92 octain though.

[anjapower]

most I've done before the low fuel light coming on is 284. I'm sure I can do 300, but 380? damn! You could've done way more than 400 if you did 380 before the light...I've noticed there's roughly 3 gallons left when the light comes on.

[CleanBlackSi02]

Congrats! You drive like a grandma!

Word! I normally don't drive like this, but this particular trip got me a $275 ticket last time I went. The WI state police love to ticket cars with IL plates......

[crispytreat]

I average around 30mpg, the best I have done so far is 33mpg. This is on 87 octane gas.

[hypnoj]

with low octane gas and cruising at a consistant 85 mph I get 33 mpg no problem.

[XHawkeye]

My theory is that gas mileage drops like a rock once one passes 4k rpm. Haven't been patient enough to test my theory, driving 75 is just too slow.

My worst gas mileage was on I35 (KS - OK) bucking a strong head wind while cruising at 85. Got 23.8 mpg with no a/c. Same road, same head wind, three months later got 25.1 mpg again no a/c.

My GS-R could go between OK City and the Indian reservation gas stations north of Topeka (350 miles) on a tank no matter the direction of the wind. The Si has only made it once out of 8 tries. That was with a tail wind and with heavy cop activity reducing the average mph.

One the plus side city gas mileage is better then the GS-R ever got, 29+ with a/c on.

First car I've ever owned that got better mileage in town then on the highway. This car needs a 7 speed transmission.

Up to 18,4xx miles

[PAsi]

JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW, WHEN UR CRUISIN ON THE HIGHWAY OR ATLEAST OVER LIKE 35, THE A/C USES AS MUCH GAS AS HAVING ALL THE WINDOWS OPEN.

[furious]

I just calculated and discover that I get something like 29mpg...and I always shift between 3.5k-6k (except on 1st)...so I guess that I'm lucky? oh, I run on 93.

[ep3man]

yesterday i drove my ep til the gas light came on so i decided to not be a cheap bastard and jus top it off... so @ $3.97 per gal. 51 bux l8r i had a full tank. yo this gas shyt is getting out of hand i remember $35 used to get me a full tank WTF...

[Windchaser]

It is just as bad here in the valley. I need to go buy a bicycle!

cost me 58 @ $1.43/L...fyi topping off is a dumb idea....as if u overfill it just drains out on the ground.....

[sishocker04]

yeah i hear ya on that one. i fill up on about 46 bucks its about 3.97 here also. i try and get every drop in or it just goes all over the ground. hah i remember when i filled up my old 86 Si on 11 dollars when it was 98 cents and i thought 1.12 for super was expensive lol :mbiggrin:

[MR.Pizza]

With gas prices going sky high I wonder when people are gonna start syphoning gas out of car at night. Lucky we have a locked gas door...

[02_epdriver]

I know it's bunk as shit.

[Krispy187]

Damn..... I just Paid $45 full tank and I was going crazy!

[BobSassafrass]

What really makes me mad is seeing that we are at an all time hight in oil consumption and seeing that refineries are running at 82%... I don't think they will get the message until people start cutting back on gas usage. If we keep using it they will keep hiking up the prices.

Supposedly it is supposed to go down at the end of the year though.

Something isnt right here,,,I just filled up at 4.19 gallon and I didnt come close to 51$

51$ at 3.97 is almost 13 gallons, you were well below the level the "E" light should have come on at.

[ep3si02]

yea thats the same thing i was thinking

[talonXracer]

It will never go down much at all, wallstreet will see to that! Also the oil companys have noticed a drop in useage in certain locals and raised the price to recoup the loss.

The oil company and wallstreet hodlums do not answer to the public, only to the stockholders and any drop in profit is not allowed.

[03hatch]

if they do drop the price it wont make a differences because it will just go back up. i dont it seems like theres more traffic here in so.cal. i get off work around 10:00 - 10:30, and the 10 going east and west packed with cars. i was going about 30-40 mph. just filled up today too and it was a little over 50 bucks. i hate the world. lol

Agreed, it's a monopoly. Why sell oil cheap here to us when they make even more money selling it closer to the source.

[Princess]

Last time I filled the ep3's gas tank was almost a year ago. Looks like I picked the right time to just leave the car in the garage.

[Riv Civ]

That's why I got rid of my JDM STi swap. Premium gas + 15 mpg = $. :mcry:

[PaTTi2103a]

just filled up today, $42 - $3.71/g

[ALL MotoR Ep3]

$51 isnt bad......it cost me like $4.35 a gallon...... i pay $60 to full my tank up...

[NitroBoarder]

I've just cut back on my driving a lot. ordered shoes off the internet instead of going to the mall since it would've cost me like $10 in gas to go to the mall. I'll even pay the extra $.50 for a six-pack just b/c the more expensive place is pretty much down the street, and the cheaper place is about a round trip of 10 miles.

[Rep]

Costs $32 to fill the Corolla and about $35-$36 to fill the Miata.

Still retarded.

yea...the 2 dollar delivery fee for most pizza places round here is now totally worth it!! i used to drive sooo much....now i think i may put 4-5000 km on the car per year....

and guess what... its not memorial day yet..... doesnt it usually spike around that holiday?

[sleepinEP3]

Last time I filled the ep3's gas tank was almost a year ago. Looks like I picked the right time to just leave the car in the garage.

same here. i put $20 in two weeks ago and i still got half of that left.

i just fill the Fit up every week with regular, used to be $28 when i got it a year ago, now its at $37 for the lil 10 gal. champion.


I blame Bush:usa2:

[cxhatch]

Gas at 4.29 a gallon here.I topped it off but dont remember how much it was

[Elise98]

I was bored today, so I spend a lot of time reading the over this website and learned a lot.
http://www.gassavers.org/

[bchaney]

cost me 58 @ $1.43/L...fyi topping off is a dumb idea....as if u overfill it just drains out on the ground.....

How'd you figure? Are you saying you fill over capacity? Here in the greatest country in the world we have a feature that stops filling as soon as the tank is topped off.

PS nice wheels sleepinEP3.

[lazeebeast35]

yeah at 3.97 i never got close to $51 filling it up. Now prices is at $4.07 around my area i just put $20-$25, been awhile since ive filled her all the way up. Ima do that next time to see how much it comes out to.

[humpmasterflex]

At a time like this is when I wish my EJ6 (1999 civic sedan) had never got stolen. I averaged 41mpg on the tank with that lovely car. The other day I just finished a the tank on my EP and got 366.5 miles on the tank, and I filled her up with 12 gallons, so that meant I did and average of 30.5MPG on that tank.

Which by the way sucks ass, considering I had to baby the motherfucker in order to get that mileage. I was shifting at like 3.3k, and was extra light footed.... I'm talking so light footed it took me like 5 second to get from a stopped position to 3.3k in 1st gear! That, and I cruised controlled the car at 60mph on the highway! All that and a sh1tty 30mpg?? I used to get that in my EJ6 when I was redlining all day!

When I babied the EJ6 I got like 48mpg at best... can I just say 50 mpg?! FOR FUCKS SAKES I MISS THAT CAR!

LOL-I’m only shocked that people are naive enough to believe the Cryptkeeper’s half truths.

This type of propaganda belongs in the “political” section.



$36.46 to fill up @ $3.57 a gallon.

wtf how did you spend $51 with gas at 3.97 a gallon. i filled up when it was at $4.05 a gallon and mind you i drove with my gas light on for 3 days(i know not smart) and it only cost me $44 to put in 11.xxx gallons.

[OZ.EP3]

Anybody else notice the lack of Hummers on the road these days?!

[hybrid-x]

I was close 2 empty and it cost me around $38 to fill up. I'm just glad I don't have a SUV or V8 right now. :o

not even the gas light came on then i drove another 28 miles and then filled up...

[SinisterCivicSi]

4.09 for 93 octane as of last night... i am sure it will creep all this week. :mrolleyes:

[beechstreet]

With gas prices going sky high I wonder when people are gonna start syphoning gas out of car at night. Lucky we have a locked gas door...

my buddy has had his gas siphoned out twice on his 70-something blazer. right in his own driveway too. thats like $100 worth of gas each time.

Kazakhstan? :mconfused:

Gas is crazy expensive right now. Cost me about $45 to fill up, regular. I remember I used to be able to fill up with $28 and that was 93 oct.

I still see Hummers, SUVs, and V8 trucks driving around all over the place. It must suck to have to fill those things up once a week. I had a friend try and trade in his SUV, no one would take it lmao...

It's the truth man, and the government ain't really lying about it either. Why should we use our own oil, when we can use someone else's oil. That's pretty much it.

On the other thought, you want cheap gas, move your as to Kuwait or Dubai, 10 cents per gallon over there!

[V-TEC]

I just put over £47 into my CTR, yes that is pounds (to get $ basically double it!)

[SinisterCivicSi]

I just put over £47 into my CTR, yes that is pounds (to get $ basically double it!)

yeah i have family in ireland and i think last summer when they were here it was like 5-6 bucks a gallon over there. :mconfused:

[Endever]

I used to be one of those guys that would fill the tank up everytime i'd go to the gas station.

I've scrapped that and now i prepay. 15 bucks each time. every 3 to 4 days or so. gets me 100-120 miles.

I don't know if its in my head but i think this way is more efficient - especially for those that are still stock.

[lil_Eggy]

yesterday was the first time I put over $40 at a single fill

[vermilionsi]

i work infront of a raceway gas station. in one day prices rose .11 cents :mfrown:. its hitting us bad

[todaamann]

got all of you beat... 58 dollars today. but im pretty sure they were gouging!! 13.98 gallons in an ep??? impossible. i fucking hate that. i wasn't sure what to do, but i got a reciept and the owners number, calling them tomorrow morning. my light had gone on about 10 miles earlier, and the max capacity is 13.2 gal.

[L337Ep3]

Were you topping it off repeatedly?

[dashehonda]

got all of you beat... 58 dollars today. but im pretty sure they were gouging!! 13.98 gallons in an ep??? impossible. i fucking hate that. i wasn't sure what to do, but i got a reciept and the owners number, calling them tomorrow morning. my light had gone on about 10 miles earlier, and the max capacity is 13.2 gal.

I thought its like 12.5, but ohwell, ive been up to 14.5 gallons before, they wont do shit, got to go to the big wigs to get results.

[todaamann]

I didn't top it off at all..

[todaamann]

I thought its like 12.5, but ohwell, ive been up to 14.5 gallons before, they wont do shit, got to go to the big wigs to get results.

what should i have done? i remember a thread about this not too long ago...

[newblackhatch]

I went for a midnight rip and drove past the Citgo down the street....$4.21. Damn.

[Matheus]

48liters = 56EUR = $88 :mmad:

[dofu2]

I'd be happy as hell if it only cost $40 for me to fill up a full tank...

[superhatch]

I just clocked 36.3 mpg by driving the speed limit to and from work this week and taking it easy on acceleration. This also included some in town driving for about 20% of the tank.

My tank read 402.9 and I had a fill of 11.1 gal.

87K on the clock, HKS intake, HFP springs.

I didn't think the EP could get that kind of mileage with mixed driving! This is up 8mpg over my average which usually includes going 10+mph over the speed limit on freeways and 5+mph on city streets, with full acceleration during on ramps, and average acceleration otherwise.

[epshtielsl]

$43/tank :mfrown:

[skooba]

FG2 ftl, it requires premium. but I do manage to get around 33mpg thanks to the 6th gear.

honda fits are looking mighty tempting lol.

[oogy-boogy]

48liters = 56EUR = $88 :mmad:

Ouch.

[ohdamngetit]

I saw $4.07 for regular this morning on the drive to work. I'm feelin bad for the EPers who pay by the litre. $40 to tank for me.

[beechstreet]

only cost me $28 to fill up my CRX :mbiggrin: which is still a lot for a CRX!

[maconperformanc]

Can't wait to get my ep running, it cost me $80 plus for the F150 to fill up....

$3.75 a gallon in orlando...

i merged your gas thread with the others.... consider yourself lucky if thats all it cost you... its almost 50 for my ep and the evo.

[SpAdZ]

gotta love having to run 93 octane...we are up to around 4.20ish a gallon in NY...ill usually grab like 35 bucks and refill when i get down to a quarter tank...good thing i only drive 5 miles a day :mgrin:

[SinisterCivicSi]

what pissed me off is there is 3 gas stations in this intersection by our house... shell, texaco and citgo/citco (whatever)... without looking because they are always the same price... pulled into shell and popped the gas door... dam near almost swiped the card but looked at the price...

IT WAS 4.19 A GALLON FOR 93!!!

the other 2 gas stations said 4.11 - man we jumped in the car quick and went to the other station across the way.

i am not looking forward to summer. who has a beater for sale?

[SpAdZ]

ive been drivin the beater but mostly i just give a guy that i work with 20 bucks to pick me up on the way to work since he passes by my apartment anyway...hella cheaper then driving around in the turbo monster...that this only gets like 17mpg in the city...maybe less...tuned on the richer side to be safe

[SinisterCivicSi]

yeah i hear that. whats good is golan and i carpool, our buildings are right next to each other... so that helps a little.

[kingphoenix07]

Well finally hit over 4 dollars here....damn holiday weekend.
4.09 for 89...:mfrown:...i need to get my GF to sell her xterra...it's breaking us in two.

[Lenus]

$4.25 for premiun here in Honduras... just fill it up 11.1 gals cost me $47 bucks :mfrown:

[02TaffySi]

About $46 here in Nor Cal @ $4.15/gallon. I remember when I paid $20 for a full tank of gas and a California lottery scratcher, damn those were the days!:mcry:

[beechstreet]

i put 125 miles on my CRX yesterday and it didnt even use 1/4 tank!

[humpmasterflex]

Some of you guys must have some faulty trip meters.... HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU GETTING 35+ MPG with this sh1t?

On my past tank I babied the damn thing. I'm talking about cruise controlling the car at 60 on the highway, shifting at just 3k (about 3.25k).... and on top of all that... I was extra light footed. I'm talking about it took me 5 WHOLE seconds to go from idles (1k) to about 3.3k IN FIRST GEAR!!!!! YES... THAT IS MAD LIGHTFOOTING!!!!!!


And guess what..... I got a measly 30.5 MPG after I did the calculations.

Ok so here it is.... The yellow light didn't turn on till I was 318 miles on the tank. The I drove the car on the yellow light till it was 366.5 on the trip meter. So I went and put in 87 octane (which was 3.94 1.5 weeks ago) and I filled up with just above 12 gallons. So do the math..... all the trouble for a measly 30mpg.... WTF!!!!! When i drive normal (which means not like a grandma) I get about 25-27 MPG.

That sucks ASS!!! MY EJ6 got 30 mpg when I was doing like 90-100 MPH on the highway. And when I cruised that car at 60 it did 47 MPG... YES THAT WAS MY BEST. On an average tank I got about 39-41 MPG in the EJ6 (1999 Civic sedan)

[SI in GA]

:sad:Wow these prices are out there, last time I put gas in the EP gas was like 40 cents cheaper. I'll be home for a visit in like two month and counting.

[chuck83]

you know its bad when we drive civics and are looking for beater cars for better mileage

last tank i got 34 mpg, no complaints on that. Just complaining about the price of gas.

takes me 50+ everytime here in Canada

Right now here in Winnipeg we are paying about $4.94 per gallon for regular. U americans still have it made compared to us up here when it comes to gas prices.

[Rep]

Miata was $41 for 10.2 gallons of 93 Octane the other day.

What the fuck?! It's a Miata! FawK!

28-34 MPG...but it still hurts.
