Are you following the manual exactly regarding fill-up?

Re: civic gas gauge
I have the same situation with my 2001 Civic EX coupe. I bought it used late
last year, had it checked out by a mechanic first and he said it was in
great shape and I shoudn't pass it up. By the way, I didn't get an owner's
manual with mine.... What does it say in the manual concerning fill-up?

It says: Stop filling the tank when the pump clicks off . . tighten gas
cap until it clicks.

Re: civic gas gauge
LOL. Actually, I hadn't read the manual...but I did this morning. It says,
"unscrew the cap, fill with gas until stops, put the cap back on." I'm no
rocket scientist but I think it's safe to say that I've been filling it
properly. My guess is that there is something wrong with the gas
gauge....which brings me back to my original question.....anyone?

Re: civic gas gauge
On my 2000 Civic, I average 200+ mi in the first half and 100+ in the
later half of the gas gauge. So despite your gauge not moving till 150
miles have past, it seems to be operating normally. Not sure. Maybe my
gauge has issues as well.

My '88 Civic has a similar behavior. The gauge doesn't start to move until
after driving about 75-100 mi. The half tank mark typically yields about
260 mi. while I get about 400 from a full tank.

Re: civic gas gauge
Ok, When I fill up, I don't stop filling when it stops. I keep going til I
can't put anymore gas in there. Til i see the gas come up close to the rim.
Maybe that's not the best idea? I have done this with all my cars in the
past and have had no problems.
