dude, i get terrible gas mileage .. i hate the winter. i want my si back out!

 

yea my z6 lx four door doesnt get anything to brag over for fuel mileage either.. i dont know what it is, the cold, my driving or what

 

I am getting bad mileage too in my z6 but its because my o2 sensor is bad.

 

i calculated 29 or so in my coupe. stock sohc non vtec. needs a tuneup and 02

 

I thought cars liked cold weather lol and my 02 Sensor is new but its a 93 Accord sensor it plugged right in

 

what kind of bad gas milage is it?? i get 24 or 25 mpg city this time of year and 28 during the summer... i have a b16.

Well right now my gas tank is at half and I've only gone 108 miles. I swear I got way better then that when I work at Jiffy during the summer I could drive about 20 miles to work then home and do that for 2 weeks without filling up

 

w/ my b16 at half tank im at about 150ish so yea there prolly is a problem. the car runs fine and all?

yea i dunno but ppl say my gas milage is abnormal for a b16. i dont even drive it "nice" all the time either. guess the tune i got was just that good... gotta love speeedfactory in tacoma WA. haha

 

I think you lose 5 to 10%... in cold weather..

alot of it has to do with start up, engine use a lot more fuel when they are cold.. and are very inefficient till they get to there normal operating temp...

also check tires once a week

 

I get about 130mi out of a half a tank of gas in my b16 in the winter. I thought that was normal.

That is true I didnt think of it that way it does use a ton more gas trying to warm up cause my **** wont even stay hot unless I am on the highway kinda on it if I cruise it goes down

 

I am getting 24 mostly city, sometimes less. It must be because of the winter. PLus I don't trust my gas needle either, most of the time it points to less than it actually has.

better less, than more. my buddy has an EF hatch for the winter.. and when he first got it, he didnt realize.. but it was off an entire quarter tank... so it ran bone dry out of gas at 5 oclock.. which is rushhour traffic.. i had to get out in the cold and push. i felt it was total that i had to push his ***. the favor was returned when i let my pos 86 civic si run out of gas (in all fairness.. the needle did not even work) and called him and made him come give me a push to the gas station.
