    Default gas mileage...94 ex civic..bone stock...180k mi

    on the highway it seems im getting 34-36mpg(at half tank im at 200 mi) but then city is somewhere around 18-20mpg....(shifting at 25-3k 40-50% throttle,GRANNY like a MF). when i start off in first n second the gas needle moves a lil then goes back close to orginal mark when i reach fifth.

    coil,wires,plugs are new.intake clean.

    Probably the floater in the tank or a gauge cluster issue that causes the needle to move inconsistently!

    with how many miles to that tank? and was it 9.8 or 10.2?

    MPG calculation: Miles per tank / Gallons filled = MPG

    Wow yall boys get some good MPGs, with the LS/VTEC in the CRX on a fill up of about 10 gallons I only get about 240 miles. If I do ALOT of hwy driving then maybe 280 but never over 300.

    And I barely ever VTECH it.

    Your complaining about 34 mpg? Are you serious? Dude.. I get like 22-23 on the highway, with my de fueling tune engaged. You should not be worried at all for getting that kind of mileage.

    not to thread whore, but i been having issues lately with my mostly stock ls also. I used to be at like 160-180 at half tank mark but for the past 5 tanks i have not got a consistent mpg and for some reason it will only be at like 110 or so at half tank???? car runs fine so i thinkin maybe its a problem with the gauge cluster or the tank floater?? any ideas???? i gettin ABOUT 24 mpg city (shiftin at 3-4k) on short trips to school and work. Is this bad?
