Here's something to f with your mind more. The less fuel you put in, the less front-rear balance the car is.The smaller capacity tank helps reduce weight but yeah means the range takes a hit. I actually prefer to drive with a half tank max to cut weight further, not that 5 or 6 gallons of liquid weight is even noticeable. It’s as much a mental thing, that i’m driving light.
Curious, but why’d you opt for a Type R? There are literally dozens of more economical, comfortable performance sedans in the R’s price range that would suit your needs. Do you ever plan to take the car to the track?I care less about the cost, but the range. I'm filling up about every 4.5 to 5 days at 290+ miles hypermiling it almost. People at the "range" thread are saying 200 to 280 miles per tank. Given that the Type-R and my Prelude has the same MPG rating and the Prelude's tank holds 3 more gallons, I figure a more realistic type-r range is around 240 maybe (or less?). So a better range is always better.
I'm considering a few others such as SI, Golf R/GTI and WRX. But I'm interested to hear what other alternatives are out there that are: in the price range, front or AWD and not Korean. And no an Accord 2.0T Sport is not a fun car as those mentioned and it's huge.Curious, but why’d you opt for a Type R?
