How many kilometers can an eighth-generation Civic run on a full tank of gas?
3 Answers
Under normal conditions with a full tank of gas, the Honda Civic can generally run approximately 600 kilometers in combined driving, and around 800 kilometers on highways. The Civic's fuel tank capacity is 50 liters, with urban fuel consumption typically ranging between 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. In fact, Honda's automatic transmission is more fuel-efficient than the manual version, especially in urban areas. Related information is as follows: Fuel Light: The fuel light on the Civic's dashboard illuminates when the fuel level drops below 10 liters, usually around 8 liters. The car is delivered from the factory with only 4 liters of gasoline, and some is consumed during transportation. Additionally, fuel consumption calculations before the break-in period are not accurate. Models: Honda has introduced various Civic models to cater to the tastes of consumers in different countries, including three-door hatchbacks, hardtop coupes, hybrid versions, and five-door sedan versions. The Honda Civic launched in the domestic market shares the same production platform as the existing Dongfeng Honda model, the Honda CR-V, with both vehicles using the same chassis. This provides the technical prerequisites for the domestic production of the Honda Civic.
My eighth-generation Civic has been running for almost ten years, and I remember its fuel tank capacity is 50 liters. I mainly use it for commuting in the city with the air conditioning on, and the fuel consumption is usually around 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers. That means a full tank can get me about 580 kilometers. When driving on the highway at a steady speed of 100 km/h, the fuel consumption drops to 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. I’ve personally tested it and managed to drive 730 kilometers before the low fuel warning light came on. However, as the car gets older, it does tend to consume more fuel. After changing the spark plugs, I noticed the throttle feels much more responsive. I recommend regular maintenance, including cleaning carbon deposits and the throttle body, as it significantly improves the driving range.
Having driven the eighth-generation Civic for three years, I've tested its fuel consumption under various road conditions. It's most fuel-consuming in congested city traffic, struggling to reach 500 kilometers with over 9 liters per 100 km, while on smooth suburban roads, it can achieve just over 7 liters, extending the range towards 700 kilometers. Using air conditioning in summer reduces the range by about 10%, whereas the impact of heating in winter is minimal. Maintaining tire pressure at 2.4 is the most economical, and carrying two extra boxes can reduce the range by 40-50 kilometers. The car's engine is quite durable; regular oil and filter changes can maintain good fuel efficiency for seven to eight years.
