My Honda Civic Type R FN2

Annual mileage isn't that high tbh around 15k a year give or take, I would just expect more power from a car that's giving this kind of mpg figures. Maybe your right and it's not the best car for me.
Equally will get the sensors checked out just to make sure they are all doing as they should.

My old one used to do about 30 average and 31 on a really long motorway run, so that sounds about right to me. That's a mixture of town and motorway driving, 80mph motorway cruise.

Any car that is doing 4k rpm on the motorway isn't going to return amazing mpg unfortunately.

Yer I get that, I just wasn't expecting 26mpg average and only 29mpg when granny driving.

Hey all appreciate this is an old post, been looking at selling my type-r as since I have had it I can't get it over 29mpg no mater how slow I drive it.
Thought it was just how it was, but reading this it doesn't seem to be the case.
Any ideas why it could be so thirsty?
Love the car and ideally would keep it but the fuel costs concidering the size of the engine are killing me! On an average run with not booting and keeping the revs as low as I can I am getting around 26mpg.

Any help much appreciated!

Your fuel consumption doen't sound that bad, depending of course of the type of driving you do. In my commute to work where as i already said it is 95% stop and go traffic, i get around 28-29 mpg. According to my research, the most usual culprit for poor mpg and reduced performance is the primary O2 sensor.

My drive to work is mostly 50 with speed cameras etc and traffic is always moving, so revs not to bad. As you say I will check out the o2 sensors and go from there. Of my average was 29mpg I would be happy but only hit that on a long run driving prity much with the lorries.
