I get about 410-420 when driving on the highway, and get about 300-320 in the city. __________________

BTW, your mileage is highway or local? | | | | | 05-02-2007, 04:22 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 1,625 |
I get about 370 (mostly highway).. truth be told though, I do like to lean on my car, quite some.  | | | | | 05-02-2007, 05:11 PM | #7 | | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 |

I recently replaced my fuel filter, vacuum lines, plugs, and cleaned all my sensors and gained about 4-5 MPG. I used to get about 260-290 city miles, and now i get 320+ and i am by no means easy on the throttle. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

With those kind of #'s, you might as well be driving a 6 cylinder.  Quote: Originally Posted by dakefeng  oh..god.. what happened to mine? | __________________

I dissagree. I can get 370 on a tank with the I-6 installed.
Course that is making the most of all 15 gallons, but still.
Something is definitely afoot here... __________________

If you drive mostly in the city then it sounds about right. The norm is over usually 300-350 miles per tank combined average. | | | | | 05-02-2007, 07:54 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Downtown Historic Fredericksburg, VA Posts: 339 |

is it normal? | As you can see already, there are many variables that affect mileage. Where you drive, how you drive, condition of your engine, wheels, tires, etc. Did this change recently or has it always been like this? Give us a little more info and we might have some better answers for you. | | | | | |
