why do i get such bad gas mileage?????
i have gsr engine w/ a cold air intake.. a 94-95 gsr ecu, and a catback exhaust w/ no cat.. i seriously cant get 200 miles to a full tank of gas,, w/ out beating on it and w/ out downshifting.. also highway miles suck also.. wat can i do to maybe fix this? would a vafc fix this? isnt' there an air fuel adjustment screw on the throttle body? let me no thanx...

SI has the same tank as the dx models(i'm pretty sure)..and i have the dx..yeah something is wrong..i can get over 200 easy if i stay below 4k..check ur plugs, cap, rotor, 02 sensor..basically major tune-up..
btw: i have a gsr motor too..

Do a major tuneup cause even with my H22 I get 250-270 miles on a tank so there is something wrong with your ****. Also check your timing.

check your timing... just a hair off and you can be loosing lots of gas. vafc can help alot but if you dont know how to tune it dont mess with it.
is your tank filling up when you get gas... might be a problem in the tank. could be dented bad or have something in it. check under the car and check the gals each time. should be around 10.2 when close to empty.
