Haha, I guess we'll have this going everytime someone gets the best tank or hits number 1. I still hold the best tank title, and I'm hoping to push that up a bit higher soon too.

Sounds like I may have to go
Sounds like I may have to go on another one of my all out mileage runs this weekend. :-) I wish I would have been using the gaslog more. My last tank was around 40.5. I forgot to write it down. With some friendly competition it may get all of us to be more focused on increasing mpg.

I think I would gain about 5mpg (more for city driving) if i lived in a relativly flat area. Stop and go on hills isn't good. But i still would n't make the top of the list. |

looks like someone with a metro is the new king.

Maybe I'll just go get a metro now and forget the vtec-e engine :P |

You may think about putting a little conversion calculator on the Gaslog or something of the likes, Matt. |

i've got a javascript conversion tool on my site, matt - feel free to pilfer it if you want. winter blend - we've got that here too. i haven't done much winter driving yet. so my average is going to start to slide too. that said... if i had the choice between a metro or a civic vx 5-spd both in the same (i.e. good) condition, i would choose the vx. it'll beat the pants off a metro any day. fyi: 8 reasons why your winter fuel economy bites |

my average is going down: i had to do a 210 km/130mi hwy round trip today -4C/25F, in gusty conditions, and according to the scangauge i only got 45 mpg(us) at 55 mph avg speed. in the summer i'd be seeing low to mid 50's mpg(us). winter bites! plus i had a few hundred miles of mostly city driving to add in from the previous tank - it'll be much worse than 45mpg US. i'll update my new average later on. matt: just to clarify, i don't have a civic vx. i would have bought one instead of the firefly, but they're pretty few and far between. partly because any car older than 8-10 years around here is starting to turn to swiss cheese from the salty winter roads. ontario is definitely "rust belt" territory. so it's hard to find a 92-95 vx in decent condition anymore. |

I've decided that if my car ever gets smashed I'm going to get a Civic VX. I can find one in Nevada, Arizona, or California without rust for fairly cheap. Lesson learned. Before I buy a car I need to research all of the options next time :P BTW, how much does your metro weigh? |
it's 1830 lbs.
it's 1830 lbs.
as far as metros go, the final generation (i.e. mine) is kind of porky compared to the earlier cars. the previous generation's uber-efficient xfi model was just 1621 lbs and was rated at 53/58 US mpg city/hwy. that's another car to look for if you can find a rust-free one. there are still plenty of those kicking around the US (for some reason that model was never sold in canada). |
