i visit the pump every 4 days and fill up my tank for $30 to have fun for another 4 days. it's not wasting gas if you enjoy it.

I have been through 4 tank fulls so far with 25+- mpg average over each tank. I hooked up my scanner just to see what the fuel trims were, the long term trim was ~+10% then last night i get a CEL for o2 sensor voltage too low, with the cel on it seems better, but we'll see when I fill up tomm.

Im installing my AEM EMS this weekend, I hope to get it a little better with that. The integra that the S replaced got 35mpg average, so 10mpg is a BIG step down, I used to go a week on a tank, now its been a fill up every 3 days.

Anyone have a Scan Gauge that you use for the S?

Most I got out of a tank was around 270 miles. My mileage isn't consistent though. My last 3 tanks were 23.52, 26.20 and 20.61. My driving route to work is always the same and my driving habits don't change all that much. Each of those 3 tanks I've only vtec'd about 4 times or less. The 26.20 was the most surprising because the gauge was at 0 bars with the light on for a few miles but when I filled up it was under 11 gal.

What about the differance in HP old car to new? And what about smiles per mile? Hopefully those went up enough to compensate.

I wonder if fill ups in the S are not consistent as far has how many gallons fit in. My gauge is horribly inaccurate, and I wonder if the pump shuts off with still a gallon of room left sometimes. I have no way of finding out, what do you think? My mpg is actually extremely consistent and predictable in most cases. I usually can guess by my driving habits and highway content.
