Default Re: Civic HX P1491 code

The '00 has 302,000 miles on the odometer due to the daily commute I have (80 miles one way.....74 of those are on the interstate). I'm still on the original clutch, too. Nothing else has gone wrong on the car and the hybrids don't justify the extra cost for now.

Over time I've learned how to drive it for the max mileage. I periodically see how well it's running by checking its mileage. The farthest it's ever gone before the low fuel light came on was 741 miles.....that works out to about 50mpg because even though the owners manual says the tank holds 11.9 gal tank I can stuff 14+ in it by filling it up to overflowing. That's the only way I can know for sure how much it's actually used.
