Hey guys I was just wondering what kind of gas milage you get. I get between 18 and 24.

lowandslow88

The guy I bought mine from said he got between 30 and 35 in it...but Im bout to put a muffler and a cold air intake in it so I might get a lil better

This last trip to Maxus to and from Dallas and back I averaged 25 miles to the Gallon. I think that is good for an old car. Im very happy. I didnt think my gas mileage was so good.

I was getting 22/23 mpg around town, and on the highway I would get 28/30 mpg. I was 5 speed 87

Around town I may have to see. I have never calculated that. My tripometers dont work anymore.

does it seem like the take is made badly??? because i go from full to 1/2 in like 40 miles then from 1/2 to e is like 120 miles and its only like a 12 gal tank right???

maximase86

iTrader: (24)

I believe it's 15 gallon 85-86, 17 gallon 87-88.

i have to disagree, myne is way smaller i , unless my gauge is WAYYYY off cuz i runt it past e a little , most ive ever fit was 13 gal, give 1-2 gal still in there prob

UberZogster

I have an 86 with an auto tranny that is about to die so...
My book says that I have a 15.65 gal tank and if i fill it when it says that the tank is empty it only takes 9 or 10 gal. I know that my gauge is off tho because it only ever goes up to 3/4ths full.
Hey Maximase86 what kind of milage do you get with the turbo?

Niku-Sama

iTrader: (1)

its not consistant, i've noticed the same thing in my car

maximase86

iTrader: (24)

The gauge isn't really all that accurate. Keep in mind there is about a 2-3 gallon reserve. But look up the specs. I know for a fact 87-88 have a bigger tank than the 85-86.

something is very wrong on my car. I get around 4-8 mpg on mine. it is an 86 GLE. I get worse gas mileage than the ford expedition!!!

cardana24

iTrader: (81)

that guy DJ something was getting gas mileage like that when his cylinder head temp sensor was bad. He was blowing black smoke his car was running so rich. Pull your codes, I bet that's what it is.

Niku-Sama

iTrader: (1)

i thought he was blowing black smoke because his carbon canister had reached critical mass

maximase86

iTrader: (24)

Nah, carbon canister was one of the things he fixed, but wasn't the solution. I wouldn't be surprise if it was the CHTS. It's the next thing to cause an extreme rich situation right after the MAF.

almost always 17 mpg

thats even worse than a lambo with twice the displacement..

Mr. Blue Sky

iTrader: (1)

i know man I gotta see what codes I get, and get the parts to fix it. My car doesn't seem to be running rich though, it just passed the California Smog Test a few days ago ( it was way below the limit on the smog causing elements) . That is after I gauged the mpg on my car. I get a lot of traffic every day on my way to college, maybe that affects it (sucks to live in Los Angeles).

The o2 sensor can effect the performance

82 diesel sedan- 32mpg all the time

confused1096

The second gen I used to have got about 18-20 in town and about 28 on the interstate.

Maximum Tune

I want your car. Auto or 5spd?

I have two 1st gens, both 5-spd. The hardtop is getting the L28ET 280ZX Turbo motor and drivetrain.

MarkC

I get between 20 - 25 mpg.

bcdivad

Sorry, can't have it. Diesel clatters like crazy but with that milage I can get used to it.
It's an auto.
By the way does anybody have a set of rear springs for a wagon????
Mine are sagging real bad and I want to replace them with a set from a wagon.

maximase86

iTrader: (24)

Should get a VW Dasher or Rabbit Diesel. 42-44mpg baby.
