Replying to: aaykay (Jun 20, 2007 6:55 am) It's not relevant. f you know how much gas you used and you know how many miles you drove you can get your figures. If you fill it til it clicks off and then refill it again you will know how many gallons or liters you've used. This works every time. It's important to consistently shut off the fuel at the first click or in my case the second click with my present vehicle. The idiot light is sporadic at best. See how much fuel it is each time you fill up because the rest is in the tank. I admit I'll use the low fuel idiot light but it can vary by quite a bit. For the record my 1.3L Honda Jazz was tested by the Honda Factory guys with me driving the car to figure out why the economy was so low. They had me do some crazy stuff to improve it. I had an actual factory computer hooked up real time while driving with 2 techs. Bottom line is some Jazz/Fit's get great economy and others don't. But Honda won't admit that. It's a great car but some specific cars get lower economy than others.

Since replacing my Knock Sensor, I have seen a nice increase in MPG  . It was throwing an intermittent CEL (P0325) that specified a Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction and was able to replace it myself (with a few hiccups) and since then been rewarded with the following jump in MPG  over the past two tankfulls. Most recent MPG results. 25.925 25.684 22.684 23.170 24.430 22.689 22.814 23.060 Now those "hiccups" were due to me leaning into the engine bay a bit too hard while doing the sensor replacement  . #1 - I unseated the cruise control cable/linkage a bit which caused a P0507 Idle Control System RPM Higher Than Expected CEL. I started hunting down IAC issues until I noticed the problem and simply resnapped the cable back. #2 - Cracked a vacuum line that operates the EGR, which led to it throwing the P0400 EGR Flow Malfunction. Fixed that with a new section of appropriated tubing. Now I can take it in for inspection with my fingers crossed. Alan 98 OBW Ltd - 139,500 miles |
