How many km's you get on a full tank, simple math!

Just went threw my first tank, Ligght came on at exactly 540.9km's Im sure I can make it another 30-40 km's b4 it would die on me.

So how many clicks are you guys getting per tank?

No I dont want your mpg or mpg, just simple numbers, You fill it, you drive it till the light comes on and them some, whats your number normally?

thanks

Its nice here today, i may actually get a pic with the wheels on now lol!

The most i have gone on a single tank is 366.7 miles = 586.72 km's

But usually i fill up around 350 miles = 560 km's

Since this is your first tank, your gonna be able to go farther on a tank than 540 km's pretty soon.

Definitely get some pics up with your new wheels!!

wow you guys drive really conservatively! ahha, then again I got the Fit just on the brink of winter so I've been driving it in winter and getting a lot less because of it. But it's warmed up now and I don't let my car sit around warming up, AND I'm driving conservatively this tank so we'll see =D

My very first tank of gas I think I hit 500 when the light came on..... Never let the light come on when it was winter, always filled up at about 3/4 empty.

So as for todays update, I went into the light and till the needle was just past the E.

I ended up with 570km's on my first tank and when I filled it up, I maybe, JUST MAYBE could have gone more but it was 40.606L telling me if tha car has a 40L tank, I pretty much sucked it, the resever and there would have been 2-3 L more they dont account for for added room.

Hoping to hit 600 to make me kinda happy, as mentioned my last car (the echo) got 700-750 per tank althoguh a extra 5L bigger tank (45L)

K, running to do shopping, ill get pics up sooner of later lol. She just aint low enough with the df's but I did take the s2k for a spin, I scraped everything and flew threw the gears for my smile i missed

The best i've ever gotten in my echo is 650 km with about 5 L left. That was only once. THe norm is around 600. When and if i get the fit in the future, hopefully i can at least get close to that. At least 580 km when the light comes on.

448km before the light goes on.

The pump reads about 33liters from light to full tank on auto stop.

448km on 33L isn't that great. it comes to be about 7.3 L / 100km. Do you have a heavy foot?

Mine was about 0.5 L/100km optimistic on my first tank (reported 5.9, actual 6.4).

Working on my first tank now, so looks like there is a 10% error which isn't bad given how they calculate it. I'm currently at 5.8L/100km.

man, My gauge is always at 6.4L, It starts usually nice around 5.9, creeps to 6.1 then stays 6.4

I will admit Im very good when ity coes to workin on any honda and I do know a lot although I really dont know why after I put more miles on my car, the gas millage should get better?

Oh well.

Yup I'm working on it. I've only had the car for a month. In that 448km it included a trackday and a couple of top speed runs.

I'll take down my mileage when I finish my current tank. Pure city driving and bad traffic from where I come from. This one should yield better results.

On my second tank I got about 310 km's to the half tank, mileage meter is reading an average of 5.9.

So far I have noticed that a head wind really affects mileage, as does the A/C (more so than my previous cars).

I end up getting 520km per tank when i fill it close to 40L at the pump. How can i get better gas mileage? I have an automatic 2009 and i drive like a granny.
