High fuel consumption!!!
-
Hi to all.Iam currently drivinr a ESI and what bothers me is that it seems
like drinking water. Abt 8.9km/litre.Anybody has any idea wat is the problem?
I suspect is the O2 sensor faulty but last week i went to N2CS to do a tuning, they say it will help to imp my fuel consumption n horsepower.I felt the hp increase but the mileage decrease.The mechanic also told me to change one of the chip in my ECU to further imp the fuel consumption.Is it true?
Will installing VAFC improve the fuel economy by adjusting the air/fuel ratio?
Does it help much or slight? -
FC will get higher and higher as the age of the car goes + other things such as driving habit and others which had been discuss here b4.
One thing which did not touch much on is the maintenance regime of the car. A dirty engine ie the oil in it, dirty oil filter, dirty air filter etc etc will cause high FC as well. -

holy Shit! 8.9???

i think an EVO does better on the FC...Originally posted by Joshua1975: -
change type-r engine lagi best...

l Lit = 8.9 km?
Very high FC...my 5 yrs old turbo car run around 100 over KM/h often then this consumption...
old car probably got higher FC due to weaker engine.. -
That's horrible for an SOHC Vtec. My B16B (Type-R DOHC Vtec) gives me 13.5Km/l and it's an old engine too...
The guys at N2CS know a lot about Hondas (a little expensive but they're good). Did Ah.Kiong say anything besides that ECU thing? -
8.9 lit/km ?! better get a good check on it, or get another one... toyota vios could be a good choice

Naaaa...its normal lah.Originally posted by D16Z6:Hi to all.Iam currently drivinr a ESI and what bothers me is that it seems

nothing is wrong with ur car. -
Normal if you're the type that rams your accelerator to the floor unnecessarilyOriginally posted by no_speeding:Naaaa...its normal lah.

Your car won't pickup and you'll also burn more fuel without getting any response from your car.
What about your spark plugs? Using plugs that are too cold for your engine type could also increase your fuel consumption. -
I really do not think so. My neighbour has one and to achieve 8km/ltr is a tall order.....very gentle and uninspiring driving according to him.Originally posted by HENG@:i think an EVO does better on the FC...
The FQ330 does something like 6 km/ltr combined cycle and the reviewer said he was too embarassed to publish the FC.....saw it in an American publication, can't remember wat. -
Ah Kiong is the one who told me to change the chip in my ECU but i have doubt in him coz after tuning my car burns more fuel.Maybe he juz wana earn $.How to define cold and hot plug?How do i noe if my car need hot or cold plug?
-
Hmmm.... maybe its your driving style? Can't say for sure cause I odn't know you or how you drive. I know several other people who had the same problem you're facing though.Originally posted by D16Z6:Ah Kiong is the one who told me to change the chip in my ECU but i have doubt in him coz after tuning my car burns more fuel.Maybe he juz wana earn $.How to define cold and hot plug?How do i noe if my car need hot or cold plug?
After their cars were tuned, it burnt fuel faster. Turns out that because the cars were tuned and smoother, they rammed down harder on their accelerators without feeling the "roughness" that was there before the tuning. If you did that you won't get optimum performance anyway... you'll just be wasting fuel.
What plugs are you using? Spark plugs have ratings, you need to get the correct rating for your car. -
eh .... dun shoot me hor
Change a CAR!!!

I used to drive a 2000 civic vti and I installed VAFC. It gives you a very nice drive in terms of power. You can actually tune the Vtec kick in and stuff but it does not help in FC. My full tank can only hit bout 300km. I think your FC is very normal.Originally posted by D16Z6:Hi to all.Iam currently drivinr a ESI and what bothers me is that it seems

The mechanic tld me to change gear at 3,500 for fuel saving.Originally posted by Bloop...:Hmmm.... maybe its your driving style? Can't say for sure cause I odn't know you or how you drive. I know several other people who had the same problem you're facing though.

But i find the fuel meter goes down faster so i stick to my old 2,500 gearshift. -
Hmmm... sounds like it could be your driving technique. An Esi should be able to change gears cleanly at about 3500 rpms. Changing at 2500, your fuel/air mixture could be a little rich if you try to push the car a little.Originally posted by D16Z6:The mechanic tld me to change gear at 3,500 for fuel saving.

Hey bro ya serious???2,500 gearshift has an over rich air/fuel ratio compare to 3,500 on ESI???If its true i had better change my driving habit.Originally posted by Bloop...:Hmmm... sounds like it could be your driving technique.

Anybody driving the same car or has some knowledge in this pls advise -
Honda Civics' are very nice to drive if you push the engines a little. I really miss that car and i advise you to enjoy the car while you can and do not worry too much about FC. Travelling in Singapore, small country, how much more fuel can you burn???
-
well honestly this thread ain't helping if u wanna sell the car...
-
??? Read a little more - "If you try to push it". Normal driving at low speeds is fine. If you try to go faster and change at 2500 RPMs what's going to happen?Originally posted by D16Z6:Hey bro ya serious???2,500 gearshift has an over rich air/fuel ratio compare to 3,500 on ESI???If its true i had better change my driving habit.

I'm driving my 3rd Vtec now. I had an EH9 Esi, then an EG9 Vti and now an EG2 Del Sol with a B16B engine.
I currently change gears at about 3800 rpms and I get 13.5km/l. Just trying my best to help from what little experience I have.
Simply areas you could look into, that's all.
S'alright. Good luck with your fuel consumption. Honda makes good cars, hope you find out what's wrong with yours. -
Think Bloop is correct.My friend drives a SIR and he did mentioned that the sweet spot was at about 3500 rpms, too low and the engines gets a little boged down....bad for fuel economy.Originally posted by Bloop...: I'm driving my 3rd Vtec now.
