what is the time fame from when u bought it to when u started to get 400
650 damn
what is the capacity of your tank?
these could be some factors
1. u using premium?
2. any changes to engine, exhaust?
3. changes in driving , highway, inner city
4. rims size
5. tranny starting to slip
6. o2 going bad |

had d same engine before and had a similar problem, not that bad though. a service solved that problem. get ivtec and keep it under 4500RPM. traffic morning and evenin plenty running on weekends and 1 tank lasts me 5-6days. drive hard though and thats a completely different story  |

| the fuel tank capacity is 50 litres, changes done is that i removed the silencer because it satrted to rot in the inside and i put a double barrel stainless steel barell , but when this was done the car still would still do 650 km plus. Then the car started to cut off , did an injection cleaniing and problem still existed went and did a diagnostic which suggested i should change the fuel pump(original es1 honda gas pump) i did and after that i never got the same mileage |
