crappy gas mileage on my 90 auto max
Yo guys I get horrible gas mileage. I get only 240 miles per full tank on 93 octane. With how how gas prices are now $1.55 I am losing serious money filling 15 gallons I used to use lower octane but the noise I would get on hard accelaration was to loud. I replaced everything you can thing of from changed oil, filter, new tranny fluid, new distributor cap and rotor, new ngk spark plugs and new wires, new gas tank cap. I also put a accord cold air intake pipe with cone filter on my car. What else should I consider doing. I think people say the injectors could be bad but I do not smell any gas under the hood but who knows they still can be leaking. Help

My emissions system is working great. I never failed inspection and I had a high flow cat just put on the car. I also put a new ngk o2 sensor. I really try to maintain my car. Normal good mileage per tank I heard was on average 310-350 miles per tank. I will look into the timing. I had the timing belt changed but I am not sure if the timing is too advanced or retard. What is the stock degree of the timing and how many degress safely should I get it advanced and what are the benefits beside power which I know is the biggest benefit.

Speaking of gas, has anyone has their gas guage not go all the way to F when the car is totally topped off? I filled my max up the other week and the guage only went up about 7/8 of the way. Also my trip odometer is totally messed up, so I guess I'll have to write down what the odo was at every time I fill it up.

Have you guys considered your driving style. When i drive my max hard , i get poor fuel economy. On the other hand, when i drive like a normal person, it way, way better.

While I had 3 bad fuel injectors, I was getting 240-260 highway.
Since replacing all 6 injectors(after-market $430) I'm back to normal....330-350 highway. 90seAuto, 178k.
