I got the short ram injen intake and the only thing it did was make the car sound louder,but works good with a combination of upgrades.the most noticeable power gains I got was when I installed an engine torch damper got it from pro civic. I couldn't beleive it.Puts the power to the weels and it was pretty easy to install.It's also adjustable I have it on the stiffest setting it even made the car sound completely different,also I have a high flow catilyc converter,installed it myself,must get the 02 sencer elliminator or you will get a check engine light,happend to me.The sencor elliminator is sold sepperatly,but it did get rid of the check engine light.had to take the cat half way off to get it on there.

Yes, but what mileage did you get? Just saying "so and so bars left on the gauge" doesn't give any indication of mileage.
 
You'd need to divide the number of gallons pumped into the miles driven.
 
In my experience with my dad's 07 Civic EX, the low-fuel light didn't come on until about 1 bar left, and after that, it wasn't close to empty yet.
 
Revving to 4,000 RPM isn't exactly "driving easy" although cruising at 60 MPH is. The question is, if it was all highway miles, where was it your shift points were "under 5,000 rpm?" Just merging, or was some other driving involved?

2006 si, after 26K miles by drjon

Great car. I don't drive it too hard, or, despite having a Valentine I radar detector, town is swarming with traps. Only problems, a slightly notchy upshift from second to third, and the melting sun visor on driver's side. I've replaced it every summer X 3. When warranty runs out this spring I'm asking the dealer to sell me a bunch of visors wholesale.
 
Really a great car. A trip to drive in the mountains here.

Limited to 130mph. 2006s are supposed to be ungoverned and capable of 140+ MPH.

own an 08 si coupe and saw 33 mpg highway average speed 70+ from new york to maryland. around town you can get 23 to 27mpg depending on how you drive.

08 si had it up to 120 but took a while to get there. with enough road and no cops could see it hit 130 tops. also your nearing redline at those speeds.

6th gear isn't where you'd hit top end.
