Do I really need to buy or get an ECU($300.00 plus) or Ebay ECU($15.00) just to fix my fuel problem???? In this rate, if I fill my gas tank too many times in a week....by 2005 I could have bought a REAL ECU...What should I do and is there anything I can do to avoid refueling my gas tank 2 to 3 times a week???

how much are you driving? i fill my tank 2-3 times per week.

it also depends how you drive... do you hit vtec a lot?

yea it does depend how much you drive and the vtec kick in, i know when i hit and im bout 2 cm's off empty, with the vtec kickin in it will put my light on, you can even watch the gauge, it does it almost instantly.
on a regular, i can drive bout 220-250 miles b4 refilling.

i drive 3 hours aday like 300 miles a week i fill it up every sunday
just dont rev it high drive it under 3500 rpms. on 5th you sould be going like 65 mph at 3500

damn...my LS does 80 @ 3500rpm.

Shift at or below 4000 if you can bear it.

I frequently GO VTEC all the time....at least 5000 RPM ... I just like to hear it go VRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM hehehehhehe

And thats the exact reason why you get shitty gas mileage.

i went 80 at 3500 rpms too i just tried it out

in my RS with I/H/E I took it to redline many times a day and got god mileage still. I didnt have the extra air/fuel in there from vtec but I dont think you should fill up 2-3 times a week.

i get about 250 miles to a tank in my gs-r and i hit vtec all the time (every shift!!!!) even on city streets when i'm not accelerating i cruise at like 5000 in a low gear just so when i tap the gas i can feel the pull( feels great!!!!) and my car has 151,000 miles on it.

hmmm.. it sucks, i live up a hill thats 1 mile of 2nd gear accel all the way up. So on a good tank i get 200-220 miles. and thats if i shift at 2500 rpms.

i dont think its too good sitting at 5k for long periods of time, I do that with my civic every once in a while too, I just take off slowly til it is at the RPMs to where if I step on it it looks fast, if I take of from a stop sign and then stomp it it is embarassing how damn slow but loud it is.

i say quit your bitchin, i'm lucky to get 150 miles to a tank

:gives:

:grinyes:

sometimes getting your ecu chipped can help....thats what i did...so for normal driving i would save more gas but when racing i would burn a lot more gas
