Hi all

I've been driving like ~1200km with my vtec now and boy does he like gas. More than 10L/100km !
Apparently no leak, air filter is clean, spark plugs seem fine and i ve been told they have 3000km on the odo, the egr is blocked closed, i drive pretty cool (upshift 3000 approx and no heavy load, hit the vtec once or twice a tank), distributor clean, spark wires ok...
Next thing is cat conv removed, then idk, any suggestions ?

Does exhaust smell of fuel? Any pops or bangs?

No pops no bangs, only some cat conv smell like any modern car

10l/100km sounds about normal to me? ~28mpg.

Thats a lot. Same year, v8 5.7L, 285hp Camaro gets 9L/100 with the same driving habits.
I should get a 8L, 8.5 maximum.

10L/100 is 23mpg

I didn't convert that over to MPG. Yeah that is pretty good then.

10L/100km
50L/500km = 50L/310 miles = 28.19 mpg

Oops, british / us gallons fight here ! 1 mile = 1.6km and 1usg = 3.7L
Hence 10L/100 -> 23mpg in us.
Ok, well, still, its a lot for how im driving. French guys with the same engine told me they get 8-9L, so 10-20% better

British gallon is 4.5L ?!

10l/62 is 28.19 mpg, same as Merlin's calculation. Your figures aren't anything shocking, my last fill up was 55l after ~330mi, that works out around 28mpg. Best I've ever got was near 36 but that was all motorway and sitting with the lorries

no VTEC, maximum boredom.

What octane do you have ? In France it s 95 (or 98 but more expensive)

British gallon, 4.546.

We have the same fuel

What engine do you have?
