Tune up.

- Spark plugs
- Plug wires
- Fuel filter
- Injector cleaner/seafoam
- dist cap, rotor button
- check to see if your catalytic converter is still intact on the inside..

all of the above listed can reflect on your gas mileage

I really don't know. Well I don't have a cat but it won't help you that much. Try driving it like an ******* maybe that will help. I also spend like 40% of my driving time on the highway but going like 80 mph.

I also got no AC. I always coast in gear to the stop. Keeps the injectors closed with throttle closed.

d16@5psi on e-manage
exhaust
flywheel

24 mpg on 70% highway driving over 70 mph at all times (my car sees redline everyday and if a modded car passes me, I play around with him/her )

low mpg even for driving like I do.. I'm guessing I'm running really rich since I haven't had it tuned, just got the stock e-manage fuel map.

94 EJ1:

B18C1 bottom end (stock)
B17A1 head (stock + GSR cams)
DC 4-2-1
Clutchmaster's 8lb flywheel
AEM short ram
Catback exhaust (hollow cat)
P72 (chipped with mugen program)
Si's on 205/50/15's

I used to get 20 mpg with the B18C1 head no matter how easy I drove it. Then I bent some valves and put the B17A1 head on and now I get:

25 MPG hard driving
30 MPG easy driving

:shrugs: I don't understand. Maybe the C1 head had slightly bent valves from the begining?

99 4dr Y7 108K miles
-5 speed
- Y8 IM
-CAI
-Header DEI wrapped
-Catless
-Stock exhaust
-NGK blue wires
-recently seafoamed
I can pull 415-430 miles outta my 11.9 Gallon tank

doing about 5 WOT pulls on the streets per day and cruising at 2600RPM on the freeway at about 65MPH with a 2 minute warmup every morning

I make up for wasted gas on the streets by keeping it under 3K on the freeway.
