Default fuel economy

Just out of curiousity, what are you guys getting for mileage out of your cars? Is it worth it to toss in the high grade fuel into an essentially stock integra?

Cheers

You only get 300km a tank??

Damn where do you drive?

Also where are you able to just fill $40 for the tank? I'm spending close to $60 for the Teg and no clue for the S but will find out soon.

i get 450-500 on the highway to a tank with a B20. Using premium on a stock RS/LS is a waste of money.

7.6L/100 isn't bad at all. On a full 45L tank that would put you over 520km/tank

94 ls motor, highway and city driving. 500-550km on 40 to 42 litres and premium fuel does make a difference...usually put vpower, but a family member once put regular from esso and I immediately noticed a difference.

How big of a difference? I've tried it myself and didn't notice a thing. If you don't gain 10% in fuel economy you are wasting money.
