I thought i was getting some bad gas mileage so i decided to keep track of how many miles i'm gettin to compare it to others.so yesterday i filled up (about 13 gallons) and i'm down to 3/4 tank and 51 miles with the a/c on all the time. 80% of it is highway and my car has a stillen intake, and catback. i wanna wait and see how many miles i get on the entire tank. i just wanted you guys to post your approx. mpg's and what we can do to improve mpg. heres what i got in mind.
-oxygen sensor
-fuel filter
-synthetic oil
-fuel treatment every 3000k
-replace old spark plugs
What else??????????????

 

dont let the engine rev past 3000

 

I got an Autoshifter. not letting it rev past 3000!! thats no fun

 

In my 5-spd SE, I get about 10 kms per 1 litre. That is 24 mpg city only with the a/c on for about 80% of the time. I haven't really calculated what my mileage is on the highway. I do know that if my a/c is off I get another 1 mpg or so.

Oh yeah, I have a lead foot too... especially in 1st and 2nd gear.

 

I'm gettin' 25 city lately. I have a 95 GXE auto with 150000 miles and a dead knock sensor.

 

i'm getting around 17 mpg city and 24 highway.. but this is around NYC so I'm a firm believer that NYC highways are much like city driving anywhere else traffic is unavoidable for the most part.

 

Don't drive over 60-65mph, that will boost your mpg. When was the last time you checked your gas cap and tire pressure? Make sure the cap makes a hissing sound when removed.

 

charted it since the day i bought it...23 through town and regular driving. 26 on extended highway trips.

 

I thought that the hissing sound when you open your gas cap is a bad thing. My car does it. What does it mean?

 

I always end up with 18-19mpg in the city. I get 24-26 on the highway.
-hype

 

I get dismal mileage in the city, like 16mpg. But on the highway I get around 25-26mpg. However, if there is any mixed driving, i.e. any city driving at all, my freeway mileage is ruined by my poor city mileage.

So in the end, with 50/50 driving, I get around 19-20mpg.

 

98 GXE 5 Speed.

I get around 20 in the city and 25 on the freeway.

 

what does the hissing sound mean??? what pressure are the tires supposed to be at???

 

In my car, if you look on the inside of the cover of the center console, it tells you what the tire pressures are supposed to be. For my 95 SE 5-spd, it recommends 33psi in the front and 32 psi in the rear.

But I think depending on your driving habits and the tread wear on your car, if you monitor it, you can set the tire pressures accordingly.

 

21 average (80% city)

by the time i fill up and have gotten down to 3/4 a tank, i usually have about 100 miles on there (but no exhasut mods etc). who knows?

 

this summer so far i've gotten a lil over 20 mpg.
