so i got a 98 civic hatch DX and it will go max about 350 km to a tank.,, im pretty sure that isnt very good ha and i have filled my tires and check them regularily... i also change the oil and recently replaced the air filter. maybe its because its only like a 30 litre tank?

I don't understand litres or kilometers because I'm an ignorant american, but I don't think your getting that poor mileage? but yeah, make sure your tire pressure is good, oils good, maybe check your other filters besides air like oil or fuel.

Thats about 28 mpg which is ok, but for your car it does sound like you should be getting more. Look up the standard mpg for your car online

according to the feds you're doing just fine.

haha! lol slightly wrong Mr Gato!

Our road signs are in miles, we buy fuel by the litre, we buy beer by the pint and measure butter by grams! pretty messed up!

Silly European union messing with our imperial measurements! they were going to make it illegal to order a pint of beer, so you would have had to order 0.56826 litres of beer at the pub!

btw a British pint is slightly more than a US one, more beer for yo dough!
