Nooch

I'm looking mainly for my vehicle and what people are getting with them. I just bought an 98 EK and thinking that 26mpg is a little low for what it should be, I dunno what it is for other people though. Wondering if I should just go ahead and do a tune-up or what.

3. 95
4. 5spd
6. i/h/e, 255lph fuel pump, lowered 1.8"
7. i get about 25-30.

i did it because im too lazy to find the old one for you and it mighta been in the all motor section. but if you search for awhile you should be able to find it.

its really dependant on your car as well. when your overall mpg starts to continually just get lower and lower then its about time if you haven't already done it sooner. with your 5th gear working it seems about right for the car.

Good thread, how you calculating the miles? miles driven into gallons you put into your tank? miles you driven into full tank capacity?

6. MPG is= 37.3
I Love my LS!

b20hatchek

easy way is when your bone dry on E put some gas in it and however many gallons the pump says you put in drive for a while until you need to fiull up again and divide the miles to however many gallons you used and bam

11.9 gallons.

Correct me if I am bluffing.

dc101

the method i use to calculate is i fill my car up to the max, then drive counting the milage then fill her back up to the max again and see how many gallons it took and devided the miles by the ammout of gallons to fill'er back up.
