98 Honda civic - automatic - what to expect fuel mileage
Excellent forum! I have a few questions. Firstly, is there a chart somewhere on this forum that shows fuel mileages people have obtained for various cars?
I have a 1998 Civic automatic. Currently I'm getting 13.5 km/L almost 32mi/gal.
Unfortunately the lockup in the tranny isn't working properly and it won't stay in top gear (4th gear lockup only partially engaged). I mostly highway drive so the higher rpm is probably ruining my mileage (as I read somewhere someone said with the 98 civic fuel mileage drops off the cliff at high rpm)
I probably should be getting closer to 36 mpg. Anyone have any stats what I should be getting? hence the reason for me asking for a chart. I've replaced the air filter,cap and rotor,spark plugs and the PCV valve for tuneup but until I get that lockup problem fixed sometime in the next week I'll be getting sub par fuel mileage.
