Default How many miles do you get for a full tank

I'll get about 300 miles for a full tank. It's a stock 92 dx motor. I thought that a dx saves gas. My 89 crx si gets about 350 miles. I know I need to replace the fuel filter, cap and rotor, and check the timing. I was just wonder how, gas wise, I was off. Thanks.

Before I started modifying my car, I got between 325 and 350 miles per tank. Now I get around 300.

in my daily driver I get 390. My girlfriend drives it for a week and gets 415 miles. That's topping it off to .2 gallons left in the tank. Pretty damn good for me that's half city miles or more too. I get about 315 in the EX, needs a tune up pretty bad.

In town, never more than 120 miles on about 8 gallons of gas... no joke either.

On the freeway, around 200-220 miles on the same 8 gallons of gas.

High comp H22 with tight gearing, big injectors, Spoon ECU, 255lph intank fuel pump, FPR set high, open-loop O2, and a heavy foot doesn't really help on the fuel economy side.... that's where the DA comes in

I get max 260 in around town in my '00 Si w/ I/E...on the freeway...220-230 max. I got 195 miles to the tank one time when I drove down to Boston. The car really doesn't like those high rpms that I reach on the freeway.

Driving like a bat out of hell every day......300+ Usually comes out to 30-32 MPG just depends when I fill up....I actually like to fill the tank when it get's below four gallons left.

Never been able to drive soft so I don't know how much I could streach it to.

ya you think maybe that's because your JDM cluster now records KILOMETERS instead of miles?!! tard.
