What driving conditions you get the max mpg out.

I can drive only 220 miles with 1 tank of gas. That would be 16mpg, cause the tank of the Teg has 13 gal, right? Okay I drive my car hard and boostind every day and we don't have streets with 30miles+ straights.

I run 440cc injectors and boosting 15-20psi

 

You cant just divide by the amount the tank has. You gotta divide it by the amount of gallons you fill up at the pump at if you fill to a full tank because your gas light comes on pretty early just to make sure you dont run out of gas. Usually I fill up around 10.5 gallons if I drive for a long time with hte gas light on.

 

I must convert from litre to gallons and from kilometer to miles, so plaease don't make it even complicated just write your mpg in this post or how much you drive with one tank of gas.

 

for my old turbo civic

low to mid 20's in town

low to mid 30's on the highway

 

i'm getting ~28 mpg on an untuned Hondata 3B with 450cc's on a d16z6.

 

Even when my engine was stock I was not able to drive more than 27mpg. How do you do that? Driving always slow like 50 mph? My average speed is 80-90mph on the freeway and normal street. Only in town I drive slow.

On the Autobahn I drive constant 100-110 mph sometimes 130-150mph...

i have a '94 accord 2dr coupe with the base 2.2L and I average about 25-26 split between city and highway driving .

This is on an auto with the A/C on. I usually gie it enough gas so that the shifts occur around 2500 RPM.. sometimes if i am light on the throttle, it will shift around 1500rpm

If I get on it it will shift at 6500 rpm but there is about 1 mpg worse if I get on it all the time

 

Civic with basic greddy kit.
28 when driving normal..
24 when boosting hard..

 

That high speed autobahn driving must be killing your milage. I know my milage goes down if I drive around 80 on the freeway instead of 65.

 

Techtom chip, RC 440cc, Walbro pump, 5psi.
29 mpg over the last 2 years .

 

im getting like 270-280 for a full tank in the teg using 720cc's

 

are you all babying your car? I talked to a swiss CRX turbo-driver which gets also only about 16-20 mpg.

I drive 80 - 110 on the freeway and 110 - 140 on Autobahn. Damn, I need way more fuel than you. I'm angry to put my 720cc's in.

 

no this is on regular driving boosting everyday.

 

what is your boost level, I don't think you drive as fats the me, I always thought the police in USA is very hars about fast driving. You have this rolling streights on highways.

What else can this be, that my mpg are so low.

 

im boosting 15psi daily. and your prolly right i dont drive as fast as you do i usually drive like 75-80mph on the freeways to many cops

 

we have lots of curves in the streets, always shifting down, accelerate, braking, overtakeing slow cars, accelerate, brake, shifting, brake, into another S curve, accelerate, etc etc etc. .......after 200 miles - fill up the tank.

 

Set-up; 99' GSR w/ Drag Gen III + Hondata (tuned) @ 6-9 psi

I'm getting the same mileage as before my turbo was installed and before my Hondata was tuned....

26-28 mpg suburban driving

30-31 mpg highway (~70-80 mph w/ A/C on)

31 mpg highway (~70-80 mph no cruise control)

33 mpg strictly highway (~70-80 mph w/ a lot of cruise control)

Yes, I've been keeping close tabs on my mileage (I'm rounding up)

I have to test-drive a tank of gas with the boost controller off and drive around witj 0.45 Bar and check if my mpg gets better. I hope I stand that low boost driving. HELL turboing that R is the best thing I have ever done.
