Whats your 0-60 time and mods you got? I guess a lot of you do performance mods and test your results! Tell us what your car is too! If you keep trak of mpg tell us too! I get 42.5 mpg tanks on 2 days city 5 day hwy driving. Last tank filled up at 452 miles and still had some gas left about the 2 tick marks!

I have this device but I haven't used it yet to get my 0-60 times because I'm calibrating it for fuel efficiency. See
http://www.auterraweb.com/dashdynodynosoftware.html

My 1999 Civic HX is rated by Car & Driver as 9.4 sec 0-60. But I'll test it in the future. Just gotta calibrate my Dashdyno first!

Tells us your 0-60 and how you measured it too! [Like the old fashioned way, - with a stopwatch?]

 

After all you guys mod your cars, I'm really surprised none of you replied here !

 

you drive a 99 HX and get 452 miles before refueling? omg that's crazy.

I drive a 00 Ex and Basically fill up around 280 miles with about a gallon left. Is something wrong with my car? I get oil changes every 3000k, had a tune up a few months back, usually drive in 4th or 5th most of the time, unless I'm in a 25mph area.

 

I have a 99 Ex and a lot of my time is spent in traffic. I fill up at 300 miles with two gallons left in the tank. I get around 33 mpg. I'm not really sure what my 0-60 time is, but its not anything to boast about. Probably 8+ seconds 0-60.

 

Is your EX an automatic? They don't get as good mpg as an MT.

My 99 HX is awesome, but it's a MT.Yeah, my last tank was 452.2 miles on 10.732 gallons = 42.13567 mpg. This was 3 days city driving, having to deal with bad stuck traffic twice that sucked up gas, and 5 days hwy driving. No hypermiling.

If you want to learn all about fuel efficiency and driving for high mpg, see and join Cleanmpg.com and Gassavers.org! Lots of info their to help you, and I joined these too!

Oh, and I'm gonna put Vortex Generators on my car for better hwy Fuel Efficiency too!

My car is gonna be a real unique one on this forum! It's mainly gonna be modded as a fuel efficient ride, not for speed! So when I'm done modding it I'll show it off in a thread!

Theoretically, at 42.5 mpg avg and an 11.9 gal tank, I can drive 505.75 miles till it's empty. So I can push it to 480 miles safely, but I don't want to get stranded out of gas.

 

Uh oh.

 

it's MT, but I was reading online about the MPG specs for different year/model civics and mine is lower than others , but stock has more power

 

One tank does not an average make. Please post your mileage records for the last 10,000 miles or so. With that you/we can see how you are really doing.

In Illinois, I get my worst mileage in the winter. In Houston, you will get your worst mileage in the summer when you run the AC full time.

You might want to add magnets to the gas lines also.

 

Oh, I have multiple tank fills over several weeks. They range from 300 to 452 miles, and they avg between 41 and [best] 43.8 mpg. Worst - 2 days city with A/C 5 days hwy going 65 to 75 mph - 34.5 mpg tank.

The gas guage is nonlinear, and at 300 miles I'm at half tank.

Yeah, A/C will hit me bad in summer, so I'm gonna put the most heat rejecting tint on it. The Dealers are currently harping Wincos tint as the highest heat rejecting tint, but that could be all self promotion because I don't find info on it on the web.

 

Actually I meant something like this:
